Produces better with more minutes. Like a lot of players.

All these no name players going off like they are,1st Team All NBA... Raps don't even have drafted players that look like they belong in the league, ffs...

Just brutal drafting ...

It’s unreal that this current washed, hobbled Kawhi would still be our franchise’s best scorer.

26 ppg on 61 TS% isn't exactly washed.

He was drafted 6th overall behind the Thompson Twins.

He is producing this year just slightly higher than Gradey did last year, fwiw. Big minutes....30 mins a game.

On the cusp of the year of our Lord 2026, Clippers started Brook Lopez, Nick Batum and Kris Dunn in an NBA game last night, beating the Pistons. And got five points from their bench.

But if Kawhi and Harden can consistently combine to produce 80+ points per night, then they could win a championship.

It kind of feels like Balmer and Kwahi agreed that he HAD to do something this season to help deflect from the embarrassment that nobody is talking about anymore. Of course, no ruling on it will come before the all star break, to avoid further embarrassment.

Bell Fiber 3GB TV/Internet : the Mavs/Blazers game on the time shifted NBC Seattle station is NOT sim subbed?

F*cking amazing? they showed the local weather forecast.
Maybe Rogers doesn't sim sub? only F*cking Bell does?

I like this kid a lot.

Only 20.

Reminds me a lot of OG.

I think Avdija is officially a top 10 player now. Dude is just relentless going to the bucket. Gets tons of assists too.

Playing at a top 10 level right now, still a top tier 2 way player.

Such a shame that he has to deal with injuries.

In summer league I saw him as more of a potential Pascal. But yeah muscular more like OG.

Still blows my mind it's his 7th year as a Clipper. But that's mostly me not liking the passage of time

OG. 15, 5 @46% for the season for Knicks $40 mil. Thoughts on the trade since then?
... IQ,RJ or OG, what say you?

My stance hasn’t changed
It’s win win trade for both teams. OG would be overpaid on any other team but he fits that team like a glove so the overpayment is probably worth it to them. They also made ECF last year and are finals contenders this year.

Happy OGA Day in New York

Would we have been better off taking the Bridges pick package for OG instead of Quickley and Barrett?

We didn’t have the leverage to ask for that. OG was conspiring to join New York for a long time by then. We should have traded him and Siakam back in February of 2023.

NY was only willing to give 2 late 1st for OG then, fwiw.
