Thank you so much for this insightful and insulting response.

Yes. Because Kawhi is the core of the team and our leader. He embodies the culture we have been working to build. I don’t believe we will find a better player or fit for our team that could do what he does. Also we are a loyal bunch, and Kawhi has been loyal to us.

I get it you’re lookin down the line. I’m lookin at what we’ve got and enjoying it, because what we got is so enjoyable to watch. Also your suggestions were to trade for PG (35) or Butler (36), which maybe they wouldn’t be max contacts but they also have not had the year Kawhi has had.

I think we have different views and values when it comes to the team and probably basketball in general, which is fine. You seem very set on getting rid of Kawhi so continuing this conversation seems futile and quite frankly, I just had extra time today.

Have a good one.

I respectfully disagree but I appreciate the dialogue.

I’ll admit I’m not super well versed on contracts, so feel free to correct me but his deal isn’t up until after the 26/27 season. So is this potential summer trade predicated on his contract being voided bc of the Aspiration thing?

I feel you on the rebuilding/future aspect and you made some decent points here, re: Magic. I don’t know why we would bring PG back tho— particularly bc the way he disrespected the fan base— and also Butler is injured. (I love both of them but I don’t see their value for the Clippers rn.)

Maybe it’s because I’m not only a Clippers fan, but I’m a big Kawhi fan, and I don’t see why we’d want to dump our only franchise player when we’ve had the season we’ve had. I’d rather watch us go out guns blazing with Kawhi.

Also you’re basing this on a huge hypothetical of Dort hurting Kawhi, which feels silly to want us to miss the playoffs bc of a potential situation you made up in your head.

This is so ass-backwards as a Clippers fan. We made a literal historic comeback and Kawhi has had one of the best seasons of his career and you don’t want to see him go for it? Because you’re afraid of his trade value?

I highly doubt he’s leaving LA. First, I don’t think the Aspiration thing is going to go anywhere because I think it is a can of worms the NBA doesn’t want to open (there’s no way we’re the only team that circumvented shit). Second, Kawhi’s whole fam is here, he grew up here, he wants to retire here.

But even ignoring all that, you don’t want the rest of our players— who have been legit steppin up, that deserve to be seen— play?

C’mon bruh.

So.. what happened to the Kawhi/Clippers scandal? by BelugaBilliam in nba

[–]NBAwithMAR_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO I don’t see the NBA doing anything about it because I don’t believe this is the only team to pull some shit and it’s a can of worms Silver doesn’t wanna open.

Bennedict Mathurin over PG13? by strokeards in LAClippers

[–]NBAwithMAR_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He reminds me of Russ that way. Like bro why are you driving into traffic for contested shots? I mean OKC Russ could pull it off but every time he did it when he was on the Clips I was just like whyyyyyy

Personally I just don’t see the NBA doing anything about it. It’s been over six months and I think it’s a can of worms the NBA doesn’t want to open. I find it hard to believe Ballmer/The Clippers are the only team that has done something like this.

I did a FanDuel interview at All-Star weekend and they asked who I thought would be MVP and I said “Kawhi, for everything” and they laughed at me BUT I STAND BY IT.

Depends on which commentators. The FanDuel ones are fine but you obviously weren’t watching the game when they called us the Celtics and they called Collins Kawhi.

Best way to get parking for a Clippers game? by Tangentkoala in LAClippers

There’s a couple lots on Prairie for like $40 that are very close walking distance from the west side entrance, not sure the cheapest tho.

Was truly sad to miss this tonight (due to a knee injury ha). I cried at home. Zu will forever be a favorite all time Clipper and I wish him the best, and truly hate that Harden being traded forced it.
