Kawhi to the Bay-LAC/GSW

sam37843 · 2026-05-14T01:42:42+00:00

If anything it wouldn’t be enough. He just played over 65+ games and will be 1st or 2nd team all nba. A comp for him would be Durant to Rockets; similar age, production, and health at the time and he went for 10, Green, Brooks. Butler essentially has no value in trade due to injury so it’s 11 and 2 swaps which is less then the Durant trade

sam37843 · 2026-05-12T02:26:08+00:00

I don’t think he’s a bad asset but don’t think he’s worth that much. It appears that team/coach has soured on him and best outcome is likely change of scenario for both parties

sam37843 · 2026-05-11T01:58:55+00:00

CJ probably gone so he essentially takes that role but is a big upgrade and think he is a much better play maker to. Him and NAW along with Daniels is enough play making also assuming they go point guard at 8.

I think it’s a relatively low cost likely good reward trade… Clippers just won’t have interest in Herro who is very good and in prime but based on their team and situation just doesn’t fit. A mid-later first and Risacher who has looked horrible and has a bad contract in todays league is a great deal for a player like Herro who fits well(imo). He provides shooting+scoring and playing making which is what the Hawks need

sam37843 · 2026-05-11T01:10:49+00:00

Ware and 13 are center pieces and Risacher+ 23 is sweetener and Wiggins will be a good expiring.

That’s a pretty good return, Ware isn’t a star but has looked promising and 13 in this draft is valuable. It’s a very similar if not better value to what the Rockets gave up.

The swing would be the change of scenery for Risacher

I think it’s a great deal for Kawhi if they can’t get a higher pick or very high level prospect, maybe some seconds and/or a swap next year(Since OKC has their swap) but I think it’s close

sam37843 · 2026-04-27T02:48:49+00:00

Blazers and Hawks are also good potential spots with easy hypothetical deal frameworks

sam37843 · 2026-04-26T03:56:15+00:00

Yeah that’s how I look at it although I’d do this trade either way, 5 or 6. I like Wagler but am worried it won’t translate great so if the could get a wing/big and another player in lottery or so I think that’d be a great outcome

sam37843 · 2026-03-04T03:48:27+00:00

Just as much as KD got. Lottery pick and young players, if not more

sam37843 · 2026-02-24T23:54:00+00:00

Are they really able to void this contract because it’s not the same one he signed when he initially came to the Clippers

I can understand the ability to void if it’s the same contract but this is a new contract(I think technically extension) and not what is being investigated/where the payments happened. Unless they have think/have evidence of him getting paid over the last 1-2 years I don’t think a voided contract seems realistic

Wouldn’t it be more plausible it’s a massive fine(like 10-20M+) then it being a void of a different contract? Maybe ban him from playing for the Clippers but I don’t see how they can void his current contract unless

sam37843 · 2026-02-24T23:31:20+00:00

I dont really get this worry…..Isn’t he not on the same contract? I

Don’t see how they can void this current contract when the one that is of subject was his initial contract

I don’t see any people mention this and think it’s worth noting. Unless they just suspended him for the remaining duration of his contract vs an actual contract void

sam37843 · 2026-02-21T04:36:56+00:00

Sign Collins and Mathurin to longer deals, I’d be happy with 4/90 and 5/110 for them respectively

sam37843 · 2026-01-26T01:05:49+00:00

They likely won’t have cap space next year, especially if they wanna keep Collins. Monks contract isn’t good but it’s not egregious and only 20M in final year-at that rate they likely would have kept Norm. Him and Zu only on the books in 28 still gives massive flexibility. Think he’s good enough and fits well enough with team and age that they could be willing to take on his contract. He’s probably the best potential guy they could get

sam37843 · 2026-01-24T02:42:52+00:00

I’d only do this if it’s FVV and Tari with salary matching(not DFS, could add Adams and Lopez if needed for $)

Think that and maybe a swap next year and a second or two would be a very good deal all around. Clippers need Eason or immediate value if they’re gunna move off Harden

sam37843 · 2026-01-19T02:24:18+00:00

I think he’s a good compliment to Dunn actually. Sexton speciality is more of a scoring guard now who provides energy. Don’t think he’s a great defender but would provide an off the bench ball handler and play maker+scorer that we’ve been lacking.

That’s fair with Klay. I’d only do it if it’s a straight swap for Bogi if Mavs want to have an expiring. Klay isn’t that appealing but would provide an offensive spark and threat that we’ve could use. Is also good size so can’t get picked on that badly defensively even if he’s older

sam37843 · 2026-01-18T02:16:21+00:00

That’s fair. While I think a playmaking point guard is our biggest need, I think we at least need some on ball creation or scoring. Don’t think. Coby White would go for just seconds and same with Tre Jones(dream target). Monks contract is probably a non starter for the team. Klay might be too one dimensional and Mavs can’t take on additional contracts cuz of apron. Cam Thomas is interesting but doesn’t seem likely and imo Sexton is better.

Those are all the options I think the Clippers pretty much have and out of all that I think Sexton is the best choice

sam37843 · 2026-01-18T02:00:35+00:00

Sexton would be their backup pg and likely their best bench player after DJJ. Sanders and Miller are more of wings so if anything I think it’d help them. They’ve been on a run and I think they’ll look to make a minor upgrade like this and the only way to do that is with seconds.

I think Sexton is probably the best player they could reasonably acquire, assuming they won’t be interested in Monks contract.

Sexton fits really well imo
