Gonna love this team for sure, these guys are two of my favorite star players in the whole league, but our future worries me, we might not have a pick until 6 years from now.

Anyway, this is surely gonna put a smile on my face every time I run into all these people who were swearing we were never a possibility

The Miami picks are included in the deal. Clips only gave up 3 of their picks

Plus two pick swaps yeah. I mean today is not the day to think about this, but we could not have a pick until 2025, when Kawhi and George are 34 and 35 years old.

But I'm happy, hopefully by then we still have a front office capable of building a good team.

Shout out to all the Raps fans coming in peace to congratulate, wish you lot the best. You'll get to enjoy the celebrations of being a champion for a year and then let your front office build another contender not long from now. You'll be alright

Now to all of the (mostly Lakers fans) loudmouths buying into conspiracy theories that Ballmer had bought Woj and them to say the Clippers were in the running when they obviously couldn't have been... :lol:

And another shout to my Clippers east coast guys that are gonna wake up to this news in a few hours

It hurts like a motherf*cker but congrats!!

LAC is taking over LA at least for a few years with the homegrown boyz...

Just a pack of dogs that remind me of a slight poorman's Bulls (yeah those ones lol). LeBron only has a year tops...and it won't surprise me if Kawhi snatches the league from his hands from this day moving forward.

Massive for your franchise.

Lmao

David Pingalore! You beautiful man! From day one he said it was the Clippers and definitely not the Lakers. LA Sports Reporter of the year baby!!!

I love that Kawhi waited for the Clippers, and didn't let the Lakers know til the end. Screwing them from all these potential FAs that signed elsewhere.

I haven't been this ecstatic since CP3 came, and before that Elton Brand came, and before that... it's been a rough 20+ years

Pretty sure we'll bring back Zubac and Green. A very small part of me is intrigued by DMC for a year. Our locker should be able to keep him in check.

All hail Dave Pingalore, Kendrick Perkins, Frank Buanelos, and Woj.

Looks like we're about to receive an influx of new fans, which would be nice! I can't believe what just happened guys, this is the year of the underdog!

Captain Ballmer · Post #1455 » by **Captain Ballmer** » Sat Jul 6, 2019 9:21 am

Proud of the way our FO handled the last 2 years.

We sacrifice great players and personalities(BG, Tobias, Boban, Gallo, Shai)

But We win every trade(Detroit(BG)-Houston(CP3)-Philly(Tobias)-Memphis(Green)-Heat(Harkless)-Lakers(Zubac)

And they do it all in SILENCE.

Keep finding gems in draft or Waiver (Rodney McGruder-Tyrone Wallace-Thornwell-Shai).

All leads us to today.

It wasn't even decision on Kawhi's part. Also PG was more then ready to team up with him in here. We are THE DESTINATION.

Huge probs to Steve Ballmer for not being a Dolan-Cuban-Sarver-Jeanine etc. and let the pro do their Job.

Huge probs to Lawrance Frank for his great efforts on Kawhiwatch started 2018, to Winger and Redden for cap magic and dealing&negotiating with the teams in silence.

And finally, Thank you Jerry West for being a visionary leader for this group, invaluable consultancy.

I'n not feel sorry for the pick we lost. today is the prouf this FO will make many Great things in the future as well.

Well done LAC. You should be among favourites to get Championship with that acquisition of Kawhi and PG!

My Raptors should focus on rebuild. Kawhi gave us what we have ever wanted, now it would be unbeliveable if he can get (at least) one championship for you!

Cheers!

Woah... the 2 best two way players in the league, on the same team, with Patrick Beverley

No ones gonna score

Our C depth might need a little work tho

Exactly, no capspace left, we still have Zubac's bird rights so we can sign him to any contract, an we have the room exception ($4.7M) to hopefully bring back JaMychal Green, who's probably the best FA left.
