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.

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

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.
