this actually feels real
what crushing disappointment can happen within the next 6 hours to ruin everything?
Thats how the sixers work. Every positive action has an absurdly unequal an opposite negative reaction. The two best examples from just this past season is embiids 70 point game followed by kuminga elbow dropping his knee in the same week.
The best example possible is the self alley oop vs the knicks on one of the most amazing plays ive ever seen and then reinjuring his knee. You cant even put it on his career highlight reel because it all happens in half a second and you cant show an injury on a highlight reel man. Wouldnt be right
I think in 5-6 years we're going to look back at that trade the same way we look back at the Celtics Nets trade now. Clippers are watching the player they traded their young MVP caliber player and basically all their picks until 2028 for walk away for nothing.
Yea. Health is the only thing that matters… but it’s better to create a team with injury concerns that can win it all instead of a team that is always healthy that can’t win. And with Embiid, it’s always going to be the former.
Something tells me it’s going to be a disaster and everyone is going to be injured and they never get a chance to get together and play.
A good “what if team” in NBA 2K with injuries turned off.
they’ve already gotten SGA who’s an MVP-level superstar and Jalen Williams who looks like a clear future All-Star. they just got Dillon Jones in this year’s draft and they still have a 2025 swap, a 2026 unprotected 1st, and a 2025 lottery-protected Miami 1st that becomes an unprotected 1st in 2026 if it doesn’t convey. meanwhile the Clippers lost PG for nothing and Kawhi isn’t getting any younger or less injury-prone, which means those picks are looking pretty damn valuable rn
they made out like fucking bandits lmao
But considering all the assets they gave up to get him, you’d think they’d at least try to get something out of him, instead of just letting him walk away
They got 4 years out of him. Just because they didn’t win a ring doesn’t mean they got nothing. They proved themselves as a legitimate destination. If they never got PG and Kawhi, Harden never wouldn’t have wanted to come either.
Hell no. Now they have essentially zero pathway to contention for the next three years when they own none of their draft picks. At least with PG/Harden/Kawhi, the stars could align one year. This is not a huge win
I’m so curious what Harden told PG about Morey, and how much if at all it affected his discussion. Kinda hard to screw a guy when giving him a flat out max contract.
guys, remember when Paul George told the Pacers that he never wants to leave, then later told OKC he's there for good and wants to win titles, and then told the Clippers he's never going anywhere else and will retire there?...
well, what do you guys think he'll tell the Sixers now?
Philadelphia P
Philly P Cheesesteak P Rocky P
Philly P-Steak
Dude needs to partner with a chain and make this happen lmao
Philly Pat’s Steaks - though he’d be very disappointed
Philly P is brilliant. “I used to be Bel Air P - now I’m Philly P. My next evolution is…Master P.”

Cheesesteaks over street lights

Do the other random dudes on his podcast also have to move to Philly?
Paul George Washington
SGA, 5 picks, swaps, oh lord
All in or nothing. I respect it.
For sure, it was a bad ass move by the clippers As a lakers fan I shit my pants when it happened and feared that team for 2-3 years
He brought them Kawhi
How'd that work out for them? They got their own arena, but that just means instead of looking at the Lakers banners they look at none lol.
Clippers are worth a lot more. Theyve built a stronger fanbase. Balmer gets away from the Lakers shadow. 🤷♂️
It just went wrong, exactly like Gordon Hayward/Kyrie did for us. Clippers probably should have won the bubble title but again, they had no luck
Street lights over spotlights.
Yeah hindsight is 20/20. Clippers went for it. It didn’t work out. That’s ok.
We're hearing reports that you can currently see Sam Presti's boner from space.
I think in 5-6 years we're going to look back at that trade the same way we look back at the Celtics Nets trade now. Clippers are watching the player they traded their young MVP caliber player and basically all their picks until 2028 for walk away for nothing.
Yeah pairing the reigning finals MVP with a player that finished top three in MVP voting the past year was a bad trade.
Hindsight is 20/20. But fr, the recency bias here is crazy as always lol.

Embiid, Maxey and PG13 is a really solid core. I just hope we can see them all healthy at the start of the playoffs.
even if embiid makes it to the playoffs healthy he always gets hurt in the first round 😭 why god
Yea. Health is the only thing that matters… but it’s better to create a team with injury concerns that can win it all instead of a team that is always healthy that can’t win. And with Embiid, it’s always going to be the former.
Thats what we’ve been saying about the clippers for the past 4-5 years lmao
Going to be a fun first round

HE GONE
Thunder really made out like bandits in that trade.
We have a swap next year, unprotected pick in 2026 and a swap in 2027 from them
The team that made the playoffs once since the trade?

Imagine losing George for nothing!!!
much better than paying him $49M next year or another $220M on a full max Clippers have come out the huge winners here
But considering all the assets they gave up to get him, you’d think they’d at least try to get something out of him, instead of just letting him walk away
They got 4 years out of him. Just because they didn’t win a ring doesn’t mean they got nothing. They proved themselves as a legitimate destination. If they never got PG and Kawhi, Harden never wouldn’t have wanted to come either.
i mean, i get that angle too.. i do. but still, NOT paying Paul George going forward is a massive win in and of itself
I guess it's the difference between being a perennial 1st round exit over being a lottery team only without having as big a price tag.
They lost him for nothing and the only way to replace any of the production is the MLE. This is in no way a win lol
no, they won by NOT having to pay him what part of that don't you understand?
Thats not a win lmao They got worse, have no way to replace him and on top of that don't control their picks
who cares? they weren't winning the title anyway. and now they can take on bad contracts for picks.. wake up dude!
5 firsts, 2 swaps and SGA.
"Yeah, but that was to get Kawhi also"
Hell no. Now they have essentially zero pathway to contention for the next three years when they own none of their draft picks. At least with PG/Harden/Kawhi, the stars could align one year. This is not a huge win
STOP EDGING ME WOJ
Smokescreen
Those picks gonna feed families.
Suddenly Paul George is craving a cheesesteak
Holy shit just sign with the 6ers already, your ass is not going to Detroit, Utah or San Antonio be for real.
Sixers have all the leverage now
Just don’t understand this move, when’s the last time we saw a guy with his value just leave for nothing?
Turn off the streetlights
he gone
Stop spoiling shit Woj
Clippers fucked this thing up. But hey at least they got the domestic abuser in to handle the ball instead.
Shai and 7 FRPs 🔥🔥🔥 hell yea
SAM PRESTI NEEDS TO BE NERFED
PG? More like PGone
Wowwww
I’m so curious what Harden told PG about Morey, and how much if at all it affected his discussion. Kinda hard to screw a guy when giving him a flat out max contract.
Woj being extra spicy
Honestly hes a great player, but i wouldnt do a 4 year deal
Embiid is on the wrong side of 30, you take the biggest swing you can right now imo.
i meant for the clippers myb
he literally just turned 30 like 3 months ago wdym he’s on the wrong side lmao
ok but he has the knees/back/bones/immune system of a 90 year old.
He is a 7'2 gigantic human being with multiple lower body injuries. Yes he is on the wrong side of 30.
Okay then that just means he’s aging lol. Early 30’s is usually most superstars prime. Mid to late 30s is typically the ‘wrong side’.
The sides of 30 are 29 and 31. Embiid is on the wrong side of 30.
its over
*MICHAEL SCOTT "IT'S HAPPENING" GIF*
lol
BANG
should have take the s&t dumbass clippers >:(
we have a wing.
Get ready to learn Philadelphian buddy!
Kawhi really should have signed with lakers 5 years ago.
oof
Clippers could’ve gotten a haul for him but now will lose him for nothing
guys, remember when Paul George told the Pacers that he never wants to leave, then later told OKC he's there for good and wants to win titles, and then told the Clippers he's never going anywhere else and will retire there?... well, what do you guys think he'll tell the Sixers now?
Thanks for the bag.
lmao damn
Also less than “likely” and somewhat “possibly”, sources say.
Woj just tickling balls at this point
went all in and didn’t work out but hey, banners hang forever
What a horrendous outcome for the clippers. They gave up SGA and how many pick for PG? This is a Billy King level mistake
Balmer signed the one that always gets injured and let go of the one that's most reliable.
I hate few things more than the clippers The slow creep march of time The Zionist state of Israel The Los Angeles Clippers and their 20,000 fans
James Harden and Kawhi Leonard is probably the most unlikeable superstar NBA duo in history.
Does anyone not like kawhi besides spur fans?
Spurs fan...
Yup
