Hard to say this is the worst managed, cursed is the better word. The Charlotte Hornets and Wizards are worse. The Clips are the unluckiest for sure. That move for PG13 was very short-sighted without contemplating the long-term consequences. When they had PG and Kawhi, the roster they put around them was pretty decent, so its hard to say its the worst managed. Its just Kawhi and PG kept getting injured....and the two best shots they had at a title were hampered by something. In 2020, it was Doc River's shitty coaching decisions. In 2021, it was Kawhi's injury. The big thing I'm going to fault them for is keeping Doc Rivers in 2020. That was a terrible management decision considering his reputation even back in the day.

No, they're not. I wish people could distinguish between process and results. Sometimes you try something and it doesn't work. It doesn't mean it was wrong to try it. Poorly managed is adding Bradley Beal to Phoenix when he solves none of your issues and eliminates your ability to add depth. Poorly managed is when you hang onto Beal for five years too long and give him a no-trade clause like Washington did. Poorly managed is whatever the hell the Chicago Bulls are doing. Poorly managed is when the PROCESS doesn't make sense. Adding PG and Kawhi to a team with quality depth was not bad process. A year ago, everyone was slamming the Wolves for trading for Gobert. But now they make a WCF and suddenly it's a great move? It's so silly to judge everything on results when there's so much luck and health involved.
@brushylake46063 ай бұрын
You're absolutely right. Trying and failing isn't necessarily indicative of bad management. However, the Clippers ignored evidence that could have allowed them to avoid their current mess. Look at the injury and his actions with the Spurs. If he and his people were right, he was a damaged asset that wouldn't ever be reliable and would go downhill quickly. If the Spurs were correct, he was putting himself first and ignoring his teammates, his contractual obligations, and the desires of the organization and fans. So, the Clippers knew they were getting either a part time player or someone who wasn't team first. Either way, go ahead and sign him, but don't structure your team's future to placate him. Kawhi is a historically great and historically flawed player; both of those facts were apparent before they signed him. The Clippers thought they were getting MJ, but they actually signed Sam Bowie.

The Lob city clippers were amazing and always fun to watch and Chris Paul was my favorite player at time (Hornets/Pelicans fan), so I have really good memories of that time. They also beat the defending champs Spurs in round one. Kawhi and PG clippers gave a lot of the future to a west rival so that’s a huge knock for them. But at the same time together healthy they were great in the regular season and pretty good in the playoffs when healthy. Honestly, that’s a really good debate.

Minnesota is a team that has proven itself (more than the Clippers have tbh) to be a major team to stay in the west regardless of what happens. The only ones that are really going to truly hurt from this RIGHT when one single domino falls is Atlanta and Cleveland, especially if Cleveland messes up this Garland trade.

The Lakers and Bucks at least have a championship to show for it. Kawhi was healthy that first year but they choked after being up 3-1 so no “bubble” excuse

@@nocturne311SGA wouldnt develop the same, and the Clippers scouts suck so they probably wouldnt have picked those players anyway. They were in a win now mode at the time and it made sense to get BOTH PG+Kawhi (a fact alot of people forget when they see this trade)

Agree he screwed over the Spurs. Raptors knew he was a one-year rental and he brought them their first championship, so he certainly didn't screw them over. And Balmer knew the injury risk from the beginning.

as a Heat fan, I'm not even bothered that PG went to the Sixers. Historically, Paul george chokes when it really matters. When teams trade you multiple times or you want to go somewhere else after signing a contract, I have to question your commitment. (cough) Harden (cough)

Little known fact to many that aren’t Spurs fans. The team’s doctors were actually correct in diagnosing his degenerative knee injury. And they said he is eligible to play because there is literally nothing you can do about it. He not only went to go to another doctor who told him the SAME thing but a third as well. All the while keeping quiet and letting uncle Dennis and his entourage rile up the media and start this unnecessary hate against the organization. To this day, I still don’t think Kawhi is the type to sit out. All of his scouting reports coming into the draft and of his former teammates say he is a gym rat. Loves the game. Clippers have to be considering some sort of trade at this point to recoup their losses.
@CrazyxEnigma3 ай бұрын
I'm a Lakers fan and hate the Spurs and would've been eager to clown your organization for how that went down but looking into it... The way Kawhi conducted himself during that says a lot about him imo. He stays quiet and doesn't broadcast anything about himself but he's low-key a snake. I don't buy for a second Uncle Dennis did all that without his knowledge.

Your videos only show that you're a Monday morning quarterback. It's easy to criticize the clippers for trading SGA (unproven at the time) and some picks for a top 5 MVP that was a condition to also get the reigning Finals MVP fresh off a surprisingly healthy season. Now it's easy to point out the mistakes,but put yourself in the skin of the Clippers and prove to me that you would do different.
