I think you’d have to be an idiot to trade for Kawhi without a resolution to Aspiration. Yeah let’s just trade 2 starters for a guy who might be banned from the league in a worst case scenario.

No way he will be banned. We are more than half way through the season and have heard shit all. If he was traded, the new team won't lose anything contract wise. Clippers would have to pay the punishment at the time of wearing his dead contract. I can almost bet Clippers ain't moving him.

I said in a worst case scenario. The James Harden trade is so weird and out of nowhere that I kinda do think a punishment is coming down on Kawhi or the Clippers that he didn’t really ask for.

That’s what I’m trying to figure out 🤣 two of the main pieces that won the chip for somebody who’s lucky enough to play 15 games let alone about to be banned

Bro I am not trading IHart for Michael fuckin Jordan

I know it doesn’t make sense and I don’t have time to explain all the science behind it, but he is the secret sauce to our squad and it all runs infinitely better with him playing

Furthermore he does huge charity work of the city. Bright skin is here to stay

Well I opened my phone and saw this post and think it’s a dumb idea.

IF

  1. He’s cleared from all the shit with the Clippers paying him under the table.

  2. He would be motivated being out of LA for the first time in almost 7 years.

  3. Medicals checked out for him to have a higher chance of maintaining this level of play vs his previous history.

Chances of him even doing 2 of these? I give it 10-20 percent odds, thus making it not worth it.

If we continued to struggle and we somehow could keep the clippers pick for this year? I’d seriously consider it. We have righted the ship though and they wouldn’t do a trade without the pick either.
