If SGA wins multiple championships and MVPs (which is very possible), this will go down as the biggest blunder in NBA history.

“Paul George over Me???” - SGA

I see a trend in the NBA. New owner/GM cones in and wants to make a splash and sign huge names to try to buy a fast ring. They mortgage away their entire future, and then never come close to a ring.

Nets: traded their depth away and star center J. Allen for Harden who leaves team in shambles. Suns: traded depth away and ended up with the failed durant/booker/beal big 3 Clippers: traded everything for PG13. He never fit w/kawhi who is made of glass The only team who got away with it was LAL because they bought top5 superstars who fit w/each other and veterans like rondo and danny green & still needed 6 games vs a depleted 5th seed. The lesson is that mortgaging future only works if the superstars are strong fits and they can get playoff-level veterans who are willing to take discounts to ring chase.

Winning franchises in professional sports have two things in common: 1. They rarely make bad to horrible trades, meaning they always the exact players they need to win 2. They always end up with useful draft picks who end up as the hearts and souls of those franchises. Losing franchises do exactly the opposite, and their fans start to wonder why they never win.

OKC had them over a barrel since Kawhi wasn't going to sign without PG. And even still 4-5 firsts for Kawhi -- who was considered the best player on the planet -- and 3-4 for PG -- who had just finished third in MVP voting -- wasn't too high a price. (And that's really how you need to think about it because signing Kawhi and keeping SGA was not an option. Not that anyone thought SGA would ever be better than PG) If anything considering what teams paid for Gobert and Dejounte Murray shortly thereafter it was a steal. Sometimes you just get unlucky. That's life and that's sports. Hell Minnesota made a horrible trade for Gobert and needed like 5 different things to go exactly right to get here and now they are winning. It's all luck. San Antonio is a "winning" franchise because of f**king lottery balls. GS is a "winning" franchise because Draymond Green randomly turned out to be the perfect guy to play with Steph Curry, who himself was a lucky pick because he should have been drafted at 6. Detroit traded Grant Hill and asked for John Amaechi but Orlando insisted on Ben Wallace; then the same GM drafted Darko over Wade or Bosh. Chicago was a "winning" franchise because Portland took Sam Bowie. Denver drafted a 3 time MVP in the second round. Luck. Luck. Luck. Luck. Luck. Luck. It's all random. There are well run and poorly run teams but 90% if it is luck. Getting the right pick in the right year, being in the right place at the right time, and acquiring a guy who changes your luck.

@@luisrodriguez-mb7cc Considering 10 superstars account for 33 of the 43 titles since 1980, well, yes. If you weren't lucky enough to have one (or two) of those ten -- and aren't the Pistons -- you probably don't have a championship. Certainly bad owners and bad executives exist who make short sighted trades and continually mis-evaluate players. I'm not saying David Kahn, Ernie Grunfeld, Elgin Baylor, Isiah Thomas, etc. were secretly good executives. Or at Donald Sterling, George Shinn, Robert Sarver, Ted Stepien, etc. aren't awful owners. And there are good owners and good GM's -- Jerry Buss, Red Auerbach, Pat Riley -- but they are further and fewer between than we pretend. (Although good coaches are definitely a thing.) It's hard to argue with Auerbach who hand picked Russell and Bird -- trading to get Russ and drafting Bird a year early -- or that Jerry Buss was instrumental in making the Lakers the Lakers which led to Shaq, Kobe, LeBron and AD. And how Riley developed Spo and created Heat Culture. But I mean the Lakers dynasty was based on the then New Orleans Jazz signing an aging Gail Goodrich and then the league _post facto_ giving LA multiple draft choices as compensation -- part of the league's plan to kill free agency -- and then one of those draft picks turning into Magic Johnson. Oh and they had #1 pick not #2 because LA won a literal *COIN TOSS* But that is something other than luck? Seriously? The Lakers entire brand is built on something that was completely out of their control. (Of course the irony is the NBA later blocked LA from acquiring Chris Paul from the new New Orleans franchise which led to them getting Pau Gasol who helped them win two more titles.) Yes, teams are unlucky too. When Detroit gets the #1 pick in the year it's Cade not Ant or Wemby that's unlucky. The entire Markelle Fultz situation is wildly unlucky. So is Ben Simmons having a mid-career mental breakdown. So is Derrick Rose tearing everything in his knee. The KD, Harden and Irving Nets and the Kawhi-PG Clippers were both undone by injuries and a once per century global plague! How is that anything but unlucky?

SGA is Canadian! That's what makes this trade even more ironic. Clippers stalked Kawhi in Toronto. Karma at its finest!

When this trade was made the overwhelming consensus was "you do it every time" to which I said...why?

He wasn't going to the Lakers or back to Toronto.

Lawrence Frank the Clippers GM needs to be fired

SGA will bring OKC a championship within the next 3-4 years and that could very well come right now with the way they're playing. Sam Presti, the GM for the Thunder, will go down in history for arguably the stupidest trade ever made in the NBA giving away Harden who was an MVP level player. That trade cost OKC a dynasty. They would have gone on to win multiple championships and the Warriors dynasty never would have happened. Outside of that debacle though has been absolutely excellent and looks like he will redeem himself.

The issue was PG has max contract and 2 more years in OKC. PG force his way out. Sam Presti ain't going let PG walk with out something in return. Shai will never be developed as he was today if he played with Kawhi. Look at the current Clippers youth member so many miss opportunities. Bottom line PG wasn't worth that much picks and he wasn't that guy. Even if they made to WCF.

@@stump4522 I've always known PG was never going to be "the guy" since back in his Pacers days. It won't matter what team he's in, he just doesn't blend well anywhere.

No! I knew that was the worst trade immediately when I heard about it. Lawrence Frank is a bad GM

But take kinda long because that thunder rebuild but least shai for pg-13 yep we know won the thunder because might go western conference finals this year

This trade is not looking good now,It’s looks like Shai will get a ring before the clippers do

Balmer needs to trade his star players. Clippers are not going anywhere with those injuries.

All kawhi needs is to be healthy and that's a what if question?? If he is then it definitely the narrative for clipper nation becoz no body can stop him from winning the championship and that's for sure

you're wrong when stating that no one could have known how valuable sga would be..doc rivers knew 😂😂😂

Lol no he didn’t

In my opinion, this is the worst trade ever not the Rudy trade

Clippers are cursed. Hope nothing happens at their new stadium.

Bucks trading Dirk for Robert Traylor

Doc Rivers knew.

I doubt it. He jus b chattin. Heeza meat head 4sure!!!! 😭😭😭😭

hometown curse is real. when players play for their hometown, they usually fail like melo with knicks, griffey wih reds, so far the clppers starting lineup is made up of la born guys and they choke 24/7

Bro it's so my other favorite team clippers never healthy like they are a great team

It’s the clippers man what u expect

Paying multiple 35 year olds max contracts is the best way to not win anything.

neither team has gotten any closer than thever ever been either either player. okc and the clippers arent championship material. expanded playoffs doesnt bring better play to the playoffs. mediocre teams dont belong in the playoffs at all. wildcard teams dont belong in the playoffs

Bulls still look to have a worse future than Suns and Clippers unfortunately

Imagine Pippen, Kemp, and Gary Payton on the same team? Jordan would never beat them. He'd be abused and locked down
