He was for one year that was the bubble. That was there year and lost it. The opportunity fell to Kawhi because of the time to get healthy before they got back and played in the playoffs he was in the perfect position to win again but lost a 3-1 lead against the nuggets. Now
@@BETTALIFE101 he hasn't played more than 2 playoff games in the last 4 years, why would a competing team trade for a guy who won't be there when it matters. He has played 41% of his games for the entire contract, so he will also miss most of the games in general.
To be honest, the Clippers cornered themseves. They're forced to keep this team together and pray nobody gets hurt cause nobody at this point would give them anything valuable for their "stars".
They could get some picks and mediocore players on expiring contracts... But the thing is, they don't want to get rid of big names right before they get their new stadium. Bad timing because everyone knows that the Clippers are a 1st / 2nd round exit at best type of team. Exactly who they've been since as far back as Lob City.
they can't trade Paul George and Harden because they are both free agent. The only player they can trade is Leonard and he has the worst contract in the NBA + always get injure. Probably worst that Beal.
@@LeetraviusMcKay-q6mI'm really curious as to who is going to take them once they're free. It will have to be a team trying to win now, like the Lakers. But even then PG and Harden are chokers they're not trying to win
Keyshawn on Friday: A veteran team like Clippers ain't gonna be blown out by 30 in an elimination game. Luka and the Mavs defence isn't impressive. He couldn't have been more wrong.
@@JayK07 The point was how Clipper Keyshawn just glossed over this season and moved to the next. What was he gonna say about Luka now. Oh wait they didn't even cover that game.
It doesn’t matter if Paul George plays for the Lakers for FREE next year and Ty Lue joins him. Lakers are NOT beating Denver and Minnesota for the next 10 years.
😂😂 the Lakers beat the wolves more times than Denver over the last 2 years stop saying dumb 💩💩💩 Denver getting man handle as we speak the Lakers can easily avoid Denver and let the wolves take them out every year
Kyrie sent Clippers to Cancun. That is a big no no in NBA media, talking positively about that guy, if they could help it. They would rather not talk about the series.
Who is the one singular person who demanded the players that he is currently playing with? Kawhai Leonard! He wanted the money, the private jet, and these players that he is playing with. This is what makes HIM the problem.
@@josenunez611 yes he won with the raptors but coming to LA Skip was saying it kawhi town he will win a championship for the clippers b4 lebron wins with the lakers he wanna be Micheal b Jordan so yea that didn’t age well
So you got a player that can never be healthy for a deep playoff run and two other players that are choke artists in the playoffs and you thought you were going to win a championship with that?
This is Keyshaun's problem, saying the Clippers have Russell Westbrook as a Leader so he thinks the Clippers are good. He is talking about a player who has a huge ego and has never won a championship. Smh
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting the same result. The line up is not working. Too much ISO, health issues, lack of pride, lack of chemistry, second half collapses etc. The future is dim for the Clips.
The Clippers shot themselves in the foot. Not only they gave up SGA but also a ton of picks and one of those picks became Jalen Williams the Thunder's 2nd leading scorer.
The Clippers are the most stacked team in the NBA. If they fired all four “stars” and promoted the bench, they would probably have a better record next year. Guys like Terence Mann are in arrested development right now, going nowhere because their playing time is being stolen. And at this point in his career Norm Powell is probably a better player than KL.
Why Would yall talk about Kawhi like that? He has a family an as a mother it would tear my heart out if yall did that to my son. U shouldnt stomp a man when hes down. Im going to remember all yall when he come back an they WIN the trophy!!!!!!!
Kawhi when healthy is definitely a number 1 type option but its sad to see his health deteriorating. PG, Harden and Russ are at best a number 2/3 option for a championship team..You dont need that many Robins in a team. Honestly this team should have never traded for Harden.. he is killing their cap and is worth nowhere near the $35mil he is getting paid
This is what I will say about Kawhi’s health, you don’t get more healthier in sports the older you get. That’s why I don’t get why they gave him that contract.
Clippers gonna Clip as usual. How they have not blown this up and got several first rounders and draft for the future they just want to continue to run the same thing year after year😂
So are you saying that they should do business with the Knicks? The reason being is that the Knicks have crazy draft capital including 11 first round picks for the next seven years🤷🏿
Ever since that title run in Toronto Kawhi has a rare condition in his knees that only worsens things but yet he refuses to retire. The Clippers also don't help themselves by extending his contact... By now they should've traded Harden and PG for whatever they can get and just retool
What's wrong with skip Bayless? I mean we are getting towards the middle of the NBA playoffs who cares about the clippers??? Not me and not 95% of the people watching so why is he doing this???? Let's remember they are at home watching because they were so truly pathetic in the first round so why is he wasting our time with this now??? We have real teams with actual talent playing for an NBA championship and skip Bayless wants to talk about the clippers 🤡🥴🤔maybe he should retire 💯✌️
If this clippers team is going to run it back for another year they are going to need to give the reigns to Harden. Harden is going to need to be the Leader again and fully embrace being the scoring facilitator and then that will open the game up for everyone else around him; which means Kawhi and George’s efficiency will skyrocket, take a look at how this year they shot career high numbers form 3 playing alongside Harden. We can’t forget they only got Harden a few game into the season.
What's Rick talking about? Putting the ball in their hand at the end of games?! That had been and will be Kawhi, James was brought in to soak up regular season responsibility and facilitate to Kawhi and PG. Clips biggest issue is Kawhi is always hurt in the post season and PG is a shell of himself and comes up small too much. James delivered on his responsibility and will be paid 2-3 years 30ish mil per season I think. PG wants a long term max and it's not happening especially since KL left money on the table. We should trade PG for a first round pick or two and maybe a good role playing PF and retool for a few seasons in the *hope* Kawhi has one more post season run and James doesn't decline much more
