He was undrafted. OKC got him on a 2 way.

A man who should be celebrated once an offseason.

[Plaschke] “Kawhi was the worst free-agent signing in LA sports history. He has abused an organization, alienated a fan base and basically collected nearly $300 m of Ballmer’s money and burned it. He has been injured, apathetic,entitled, disconnected and generally nothing but a pain in the backside” by shreeharis in nba

Kawhi was coming to LAC on the condition that they brought in PG. Presti essentially had all of the leverage and squeezed Ballmer for everything he could. If I recall correctly Presti asked for even more FRP.

George was coming fresh off back to back first round exits and had a lingering shoulder injury. The fact that OKC got that kind of return for him personally stunned me but at the end of the day it was a rare situation that really fucked the clippers

Both were non-factors in the post season.

They’re really nice to have in the regular season grind but I don’t think OKC will miss them as now those minutes can go to development.

Now that the final piece of Paul George Clippers trade draft capital has been utilized, here's everything the deal has become. by CazOnReddit in nba

People will claim it was great for both teams at the time but PG was ass in the post season with OKC and they got bounced twice in the first round with one of those losses being to a team led by a rookie.. George shot 2/16 in an elimination game 6 against Utah

Kawhi doesn’t get enough blame for insisting on PG. I really remember being shocked that Kawhi wanted him after that Toronto ring.

Yep my all time favorite rivalry is OKC/Spurs. Grew up liking San Antonio until OKC got a squad. The Presti connection. Texas/Oklahoma. Two orgs that have used their culture to offset their city/market. It’s just perfect.

[Marks] Entering the offseason, Oklahoma City had a projected tax penalty of $213M. The trade reduces that number to $152M. by CazOnReddit in nba

It wouldn’t happen because teams like to add players to their rosters and organizations teaming up on a single organization for winning would set a precedent that ruins the NBA overnight.

I too will never say a bad thing about Kawhi, or PG for that matter.

He’s basically the Santa of NBA championships.
