    So KMJ is our permanent starting sf from here on out. That's fine by me. And I'm sure his dad is happy now. KMJ is now routinely going to get 30+ minutes even when KPJ is back.

    Definitely deserves it.

    Rumor is saying Westbrook is getting bought-out and going to LA clippers.

    Those were rumors, we don't know what his actual internal thoughts were. Lets not give Stone credit where he doesn't deserve it.

    People acting like we were gonna get lottery picks for EG. He was always gonna go to a contender. Draft picks from contenders are gonna be towards the bottom. You guys wanted vets in return? Name a quality vet that would actually be okay with joining this team to babysit rather than contend? What are yall so upset about? Whatever crazy delusions yall thought was gonna happen isn't happening this year.

    If you get traded, that's your job. Unless you are a superstar, you won't have that much pull to force an out. You have to be a professional about it.

    You're talking all that cash sht all over the place on how bad these moves are and yada yada yada and then you have a guy who calls you out on your BS and this is the response?? The joke is the new "men" of our society are just a bunch of hot air.

    We are swapping the Milwaukee pick you know that right? You think the clippers are gonna win more than the bucks? Unless a freak injury happens to Giannis I think we are good to move up from whatever spot we were.

    This path is clear.

    We get the #1 pick.

    Clippers fall apart and “win” the lottery, landing at #2.

    Scoot
    Green
    Smith
    Wembanyama
    Sengun

    Guess I'm one of the few that will miss EG and his incredulous facial expressions when he doesn't get the call. lol
    I knew it was time to go however and it's nice that we sent him to a contender.
    I'm sure he ok'd LAC beforehand (from LA).


    But I'm really conflicted about the clips now.
    I want EG to get a chip, but I've actively rooted against Kawhi since his spurs days and DO NOT want to see him get another ring!
    Even Gordo being there won't change that.


    Decent save by Stone though.
    If it ends up gaining us 10 spots or so it's a "good" trade and if it's 5-6 it's still okay.

    COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE!

    Is there a coach named Green to round it all up with the Greens?

    Not that clear path sir! Little Foggy
    That swap is top 9 protected. If Clippers end at #2 we dont get the swap. We only get swap if it is outside of top 9
