It seems like PG was the cause of a lot of the locker room issues and isn't liked by many of his teammates.

I think its something that happens when you gut your playoff team to trade for a player... A lot of that is on Leonard. The scrappy group of guys from last season never really accepted PG it seems.

I think if they are forced to trade PG, they'll get some much better options than Blake.

They really will. I know the attitude towards PG isn't at an all time high right now, but the Clips definitely do have options in terms of getting value out of him should a trade emerge.

Two years of bad contract for four. No thanks.
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy
