Well he's the best player on a franchise that will make the playoffs and he's probably going to make the All-Star team.
Paul George and Kawhi to the Clippers
- Thread starter infection
- Start date
Dude I just came from a different website I enjoy visiting and people are basically saying Clippers, Bucks, Lakers, Warriors, Rockets, Nuggets are all above the Jazz LOL. I make statistical arguments as to why I think the Clippers and Jazz are the two best teams in the league and they basically ignore my arguments and just say I'm crazy because these other teams have more star power and some of them are "superteams"
. I guess I shouldn't expect the best takes because it's a football oriented site but damn. I feel you. It's annoying.

Conley, Mitchell and Rudy are massively better. The difference with Kawai and George vs Joe and Boj are big. Jazz have a better bench.

Many a man has regrets about a similar situation, but not many have made a blunder on such an epic scale.
But no-use living in the past. He made his choice and can only choose how to move forward. Hayward has got to forget Kolbi and be all in on Robyn.

Looks fairly evenly matched to me as much as I'd love to claim that we are massively better. They have the advantage in some areas. We have the advantage in others. Both teams have star power and depth.

Not even close. Kawhi has never worn a Lakers jersey, has never said publicly he loved that franchise, has no fan loyalty built up with that franchise. This is the Lakers hubris biting them in the ***, nothing more.

You spelled Raptors wrong...
He did them dirty as hell! Not as bad as what Haybitch did to Utah but still ****ed up.
P.S. **** the Lakers!

He’s got them a ring though. If Conley, DM and Rudy all requested a trade after we win a championship, I won’t give a damn. The goal was to win a championship, they knew what they were getting into by trading for Kawhi. He accomplished his task and is now starting on a new challenge. It’s seems like he did them dirty but he didn’t. The media is making it seem like that. Kawhi requested all the meetings and dialogue in the meetings be kept secret. The media just likes to over dramatize big decisions

I think another important part of this is the fact that Kawhi was up front about his desire to play in LA when he was traded to Toronto. We had no indication that Hayward wasn’t happy in Utah, other than from one rumor that he immediately dismissed

I think the Clippers have a slight edge. I think we have a slightly more complete team, but they have two superstars while we only have one, and that matters a ton in the playoffs.
Note: I'm counting Mitchell as a superstar since he gets superstar calls. I'm hoping the presence of Conley will elevate DM's game so that he becomes an actual superstar.

Not as much as he's going to regret it when Ainge trades him.
