    Seems insane that the Clippers can sign Kawhi to an illegal side deal, then trade his rights. Guess the Aspiration Whitewash is on. Disgusting.

    Not a bad deal for Toronto.

    Surprised they didn't have to give up too much

    The old Clippers' owner was able to do all he did and cash in on the team's sale. It's just what money does.


    The Raptors improved to contender status, and the Clippers hit the reset button. Good for both teams.

    Man the East is going to be insane this year. I kind of hope LBJ goes to the Cavs somehow now. Is it possible to have 7 teams all hit 50 wins?

    Heat
    Pacers
    Knicks
    Raptors
    Cavs
    Pistons
    Celtics

    Sterling is actually an example of what the league can do if it wants - a literal forced sale. Sterling was garbage and embarrassing to other owners. Frankly not rich enough to be worth the trouble.

    This is the opposite - Ballmer is richer and more powerful than most of hte owners, so what if he cheated the salary cap and got caught red handed - game recognize game if you're a mere deka-billionaire and you aspire to be a centi-billionaire.

    Crazy they had to give up two FRP and a FRP swap for Leonard.

    Clippers really making some great moves this past year.

    Gradey joining Kris Dunn in the backcourt. Clappers getting it Dunn with Dick.

    Fair to say Brooklyn has absolutely no hope of making the playoffs despite what some here would claim

    Money talks and Toronto was the team offering a 2yr/$126M add-on to Kawhi's contract.

    This also signals no significant punishment (if any) is coming for Kawhi.

    They should sign Rockets Legend Matthew Hurt for the elite Dick Dunn Hurt lineup
