There are just some organizations that make constant mistakes that keeps them in the basement, and signing oft-injured Kawhi Leonard to a 3-year extension is just one of those bad decisions. The Clippers are just being the Clippers.
Facts. Really every contract beyond the first one is sus and they should have dealt him instead of signing this latest one somebody would have given them at least a draft pick or two and maybe a serviceable wing player
He walked into a good situation like KD going to the GSW. Raptors already had a system & they added a Star. He didn't have to do much but play. Same with the Spurs. The Clippers wanted Kawhi to be the system & tried building around him which ultimately failed. Cause your team won't succeed if the system guy isn't there. That why they been trying to add guys to fill in that role. PG was always a number 2 not a 1.
Kawhi's camp plans on milking as much money leveraging the "what if's" and Kawhi's past achievements. But he doesn't deserve any extensions at this point. I hope the franchise would realize this asap.
Ballmer had to do it because of the new arena. He wanted the season ticket holders to re new investment. Shows you money can't always but your way out. Clippers on their way back down.
@@pauljoseph3081 For sure that should been the choice years ago. Deal Kawhi move on make PG the #1 and bring in some good players to build around him. Instead the Clips decided to go all in on a dude who can't play enough to matter. Smh
Yh cah he doesn’t have multiple degenerative lower body injuries since the Zaza incident. Balmer has destroyed the Clippers. OKC can go deep in the playoffs and still have a top 10 draft pick
Thank god he picked the clippers and not the lakers in 2019 the clippers should just trade James Harden, zubac,Mann and Norman Powell because imagine if they trade all does players for picks and end up with the first pick because copper flag looks like a future superstar that kid is special.
I got like an hour and a half of sleep last night so I just sat here wondering why you thought Kawhi was on OKC... that would be insane now that my brain kicked in
What's surprising about that. Mid 30s is average retiring age 34-37. Most of these guys are going to retire by 37-40. LeBron, the only one of them that might play into his early 40s.

Kawhi and Ben Simmons just milking this shit for every penny its worth. I'm still surprised teams are even offering them money when they know they aren't gonna play.
To be fair when he CAN actually play Kawhi still has all-star level skills. Simmons is supposedly 'healthy' and giving 5ppg in the preseason. Simmons just there for the money and Kawhi just can't get out of his own way enough to play when it matters
In his mind is the money he signed up for. Who wants to walk away from that? Owner is a foolish businessman who signed on hope and yet the Kawhi brand is not the same as it was during 2018-2020. The fans miss out the most and this should be a good example to learn from.
Imagine if Zaza never put his foot in Kawhi landing spot. That series could’ve been 6-7 game series if Kawhi was healthy. Not saying spurs would’ve won but they had a shot
I don't believe it's about health. He doesn't care about anyone except himself. He doesn't care about his legacy. He doesn't care about his teammates. He get's the money, and does as little as possible to get it.
Believing that Kawhi is going to be healthy is like believing Ben Simmons is going to come in confident and shooting the three well; both are evidence of drug abuse.
He's just planning on skipping a bunch of games early in the season to try to be healthy when it counts. That way they don't get criticized for load management complaints.
I'm a big Lakers fan as well I hope they can succeed frfr whole time congrats reaction 100K subscribers that's a blessing I definitely watch your show frfr whole time keep doing your thing
I’ve grew up watching all of the now older stars in the nba. Harden, George, Westbrook, Lebron, Durant, Leonard, etc. Now that I’m older it’s sad seeing the decline. I remember how dominant they all were. I think the reason they’re still putting up the numbers they are is because the rookies and younger players aren’t on the level the older stars were when they came into the league. Most of the one and done college players aren’t ready for the nba and it’s showing.
7:14 "They didn't have their draft pick this year" That's a bit of an understatement, Clips don't have a pick until 2030! Ballmer needs to double-down on scouting and development. Drop the concept of big names and get 2nd tier players for the next few years. Harden(signed through 2026) knows he's not going anywhere, he also knows he's not winning there. He's okay being the big fish in a small lake, same role he played in Houston. Meanwhile, Kawhi's signed through 2027 and he's just going to play Simmons' role and collect that money - Owners always tell the players "It's a business", turnabout's fair play IMO
When he left Toronto I said he wasn't going to have a good season until his contract year because he doesn't care about basketball and the clippers paid him instead of at least getting one good season out of him.
I said during the 2021-22 season that Kawhi should retire, not out of malice but out of not wanting to see a man getting crippled at 40 from his craft. Bro doesn’t need to prove anything to anyone anymore, but he’s getting paid so much that I bet he feels obligated to keep killing himself each and every season that he plays…
he did these things when he was in spurs. its like hes saving his body for longevity until he gets traded again to a more contending team like toronto back then
It makes sense to get what money is available to you. But at this point, it's just short of strong on robbery of a mentally disabled person, lol. You'd think that the clippers would have blew this team up by now. Update him benefited doubt for years and don't fully judge him for his injuries, but I been stopped being a fan since he been with the Clips.
I gotta say, people were saying jazz were stupid for trading their stars Because we wouldn’t get a player like Mitchell or a defensive player like gobert Danny got us Isaiah collier, keynote George, Cody Williams (okc Williams little brother) Kyle, Taylor Hendricks, Brice, and Walker Kessler (best defensive player in his rookie year) but look it up if I’m lying Clippers messed up letting pg and Westbrook go 😭 They should’ve gone younger 4 years ago Yall would’ve been tough rn
Its easy to say incompetence when the player is already injured.. but Kawhi signed that extension when he was still healthy playing back to backs, everything looked great.. Then after signing his knee suddenly got injured.. So i say i cant blame them.. And its not incompetence
Kawhi doesn't have a competitive appetite like Lebron, Steph & KD. Got lucky with the ring in Toronto and haven't dont shit since. He just wants to get paid and live in LA. And the Clippers dumb AF for not taking the GSW package. They would've added some pieces for trades while getting picks lmfao. Poverty franchise for a poverty player
NBA contract offers should include availability over the last 5 seasons...if healthy is Kawhi a max player?! Yeah you can for sure make the argument! Did he miss 50% of the games he was scheduled to play? YES, he did! Therefore: max deal/2 = 25 mil $, factor in his previous accolades and add 5-10 mil. The max offer should have been: 30-35 mil a year - 100 mil for 3 years. The worst part about Kawhi getting injured is not him getting hurt in the first place. Irreversibly damaged knee and bad luck, can't blame the guy for that. BUT his recovery time AND ALWAYS UNCLEAR TIMELINE OF RETURN make him a headache for anyone involved. How is he getting away with that for a decade now?! Why is his recovery process ALWAYS different to players with similar injuries? Why is him being day to day something between actual day to day and MONTHS being off the coart? It is NEVER CLEAR what Kawhi's health status actually is and HE FAILS HIS TEAMS miserably at being trasparent- which by the way he is contractually obligated to do!
@@ReyDonovan-kv4jd I don’t like it but you’re right about it being the worst trade in Clippers history. SGA was our future from jump but it was going to take time. I bought into that philosophy since we did it with Blake and DJ. I blame KL for demanding PG or else. I was cool riding with Tobias and Danilo.
Don’t put that on the clippers. It’s him. Spurs correctly diagnosed him with quadriceps tendinopathy. A degenerative disease. It’s not an injury. It’s going to be with him the rest of his life. They suggested load managing and no back to backs the rest of his career. Him and his uncle didn’t like that and went through doctors like Tinder until they found one they liked, threw the spurs under the bus and forced their way out. He probably played too much in Toronto and made it worse but got a championship and here are the results.
@@coachtimmeh6826 Facts. Its a Kawhi issue compounded by the Clips organization enabling him for years. They deserve what they get but the fans pay the price
Hes not hurt. He wants out of clippers because they blocked him from Olympics so he's protesting. clippers released this story to control headlines. Listen to what the coaches said
When ballmer bought the team, he should've taken the opportunity to move it. Even if he didn't want to say, take them all the way to seattle and stay in So Cal, he could've gone to Anaheim, or Long beach. Long Beach Clippers--that actually has a really good ring to it. Build the intuit dome in Downtown Long Beach. And just by having the name, LONG BEACH Clippers, they'd no longer be in the shadow of the Los Angeles Lakers. Its the same thing the Nets did, by going to "Brooklyn" instead of "New York." Now, they will always be the sideshow to the Lakers, even when the Lakers are a clown show (like they are now)
As a long time harden hater cuz of his foul baiting play in the past, I am kinda rooting for him now. He seems like he has a better attitude and wants to be a good teammate. Getting humbled can change your ways and help you improve. On the other end of the spectrum you have draymond who doesn’t learn or grow after he messes up and becomes a stubborn ass who everyone hates. I hope he retires this year or gets traded because he is ruining curry’s career at this point. No free agent wants to play with him after how he has treated his teammates in the past. Laurie markanan would rather sign with the tanking jazz than play with draymond ffs. He has been a net negative for the warriors his entire career. If you replaced him with an average player the warriors would have at least two more titles.
As a clipper fan.. trade him! If he doesn't want to retire at this point he's just stealing money from the clippers (just like Ben Simmons) i had high hope for this team in 2019 and what a sh*t show. Trading both James and Kawhi will get them picks to rebuild again.
They wanted to avoid the second apron. Why? They wouldn't be in worse shape if they were in the second apron. They can't build a team now, how is it worse?
Let’s just say it… Kawhi is overrated and sucks. Period. People have been hanging on to that lucky bounce for 6 years now. Time to let it go and be real. Kawhi is ASINO--All Star In Name Only.
Correction, by paul george own mouth he want same contract as leonard, not a pay cut, he want auper start money and he was offer like 5 million dollar lees per year.
How is Kawhi the top dog, when it was PG13 that led them to the WCF? Clippers are just scared of losing Kawhi because he might get suddenly healthy for 1 year, then go on a championship run to get another contract and play a total of 5 games.
What’s hilarious is that SGA is arguably the best in the world, and JDub is clearly better than Harden, and arguably as good as PG. The Clippers could be a championship team today if they never traded for PG and signed Kawhi.
Imagine if the clippers just kept those picks and SGA lol, always buy low and sell high, don’t be the dummy franchise that goes all in and gets nothing out of it.
Team kawhi knows how to scam the richest owner in professional sports. He will always be on the Clippers payroll until the end of the franchise. He has learned something from Bobby Bonilla Day.

It makes sense now why he told PG to get his bag 😂
Kawhi doing low-key Markelle Fulz and Ben Simmons things.
Kawhi should have played on the Olympics. We could have at least seen him in action this year.
They wanted to avoid the second apron. Why? They wouldn't be in worse shape if they were in the second apron. They can't build a team now, how is it worse?
Spurs fan here. We are still expecting an apology from all NBA fans. And a huge basket of Churros sent to Charles Barkley. Why? For emotional damages.
Clippers in their new arena has made Ballmer the Jerry Jones of the NBA.
Spurs and Thunder are the future. They should be in separate conferences.
wont be called tel aviv for much longer. soon it will be back to having its OG name of Jaffa!
Let’s just say it… Kawhi is overrated and sucks. Period. People have been hanging on to that lucky bounce for 6 years now. Time to let it go and be real. Kawhi is ASINO--All Star In Name Only.
Leonard done plain and simple he’s just gonna collect his cash and call it a career
KaWheelChair Leonard spent the off season planning out his injuries for the season 😮
Seems like they simply just want to have a star name on their roster apart from truly wanting the team to get better.
Kawhi leonard, Ben Simmons, Zion. Injuries's, weight 's cycle
They let him do everything when he is healthy so yea I'm kinda glad he is not playing
Correction, by paul george own mouth he want same contract as leonard, not a pay cut, he want auper start money and he was offer like 5 million dollar lees per year.
How is Kawhi the top dog, when it was PG13 that led them to the WCF? Clippers are just scared of losing Kawhi because he might get suddenly healthy for 1 year, then go on a championship run to get another contract and play a total of 5 games.
Clippers doing Clippers things. Though, it really feels like he's taking them for a ride.
Seems like these are all GM mismanagement. Trent should've prioritize Paul George first of Kawhi.
What’s hilarious is that SGA is arguably the best in the world, and JDub is clearly better than Harden, and arguably as good as PG. The Clippers could be a championship team today if they never traded for PG and signed Kawhi.
The OKC trade (Shai+/PG) keeps getting better.
As a Spurs fan I feel for the Clippers fans but I have no sympathy for him.
Still mad about 2018 huh?
@@Gamergoat-f1tqt lol, a little salty
@@donovangrading lul
feeling so bad for kawhi :( hes a nice guy, so talented but also so unlucky
Forget PG and Kawhi,,,
Never trust em both,,,,
But Clippers Did a good job by adding Kai Jones and Giving Minutes to Bones Hyland this time bro,,,,
There saving him for the playoffs..he is not hurt..
Kawhi gonna leave all that money on the table? lmaooooo yeah sure
Imagine if the clippers just kept those picks and SGA lol, always buy low and sell high, don’t be the dummy franchise that goes all in and gets nothing out of it.
I just remember the hype of this team to become the next championship contender the downfall possibly a playin team or not
Kawhi is fine .... hundreds of millions in the bank, a couple of rings ..... Clippers are NOT fine .... 😱
The LA Clippers curse is real. 😂❤
Leonard should retire. He's just abusing the Clippers' stupidity at this point.
Why would he stop, he’s just milking em. No one would turn down that money because they might get injured
Team kawhi knows how to scam the richest owner in professional sports. He will always be on the Clippers payroll until the end of the franchise. He has learned something from Bobby Bonilla Day.
