The Clippers have not offered Paul George the max contract he’s looking for. Many media people think they should blow the team up but is that what they’re trying to do? This is a look at LA’s confusion offseason and why the plan makes no sense. - กีฬา

“One acre of LED lights” right above the court is actually insane
Corny
Distracting from what really matters. The action on the floor.
I'll take our banners over their lights.
It’s 43,560 square feet but “an acre” sounds so much bigger, the one is sofi stadium is over 70,000 sq ft
Alright I’m sold this clippers arena is the best arena of all time.
too bad their team is the most cursed one of all time
@@jerrychacko2661 not true
Did you missed the part where everyone is under surveillance that comes with forced participation under threat of being banned due to not cheering enough.
This some North Korea rules: Forced to cry and cheer for the Great Leader or suffer the consequences.
@@blue-phoenix115 thats for the "Wall" where you cant cheer for the other team and get loud for the home team to give a soccer stadium vibe 🤦♂️ you are not gonna get banned for not cheering enough its seats for clippers super fans. Where the hell are you hearing this crap from and comparing it to North Korea?? Its a sports stadium not the government
No phonix suns and Brooklyn nets have worse luck even pistons have no hope.
'the wall' sounds like something out of Robocop. "Lack of enthusiasm detected. You have 10 seconds to comply"
Yea, creepy af.
@@mattbphotograph8973 u scared of a basketball arena
@@mattbphotograph8973the wall already weeding out the weak nba fans lol
@@manz7860I’ll be damned if I pay for those expensive ass tickets just to be kicked out because I hit legs in morning.
You know your team sucks when you have to threaten your fans into cheering
Being obligated to cheer on threat of being kicked out sounds like a spectacularly bad decision. Not being allowed to wear the opposing team’s jersey also sounds like a bad decision. Imagine showing up with a Paul George Pacers jersey and being kicked out lol
Very big brotherish with the chips in the seats
North KoreArena basically
@@mekacrab Nah it makes sense bro you don't go support the clippers wearing a suns jersey that makes total sense nobody forces you to buy the tickets.
It makes sense also who cares if you don't like it don't buy the tickets in that area of the arena.
@@emilfrederiksen.1622 That is okay, but forcing you to stand up and shit... I mean I guess you can just sit elsewhere, but it's kinda weird. They go to lengths just to control the crowd, not a fan.
part of the problem with the NBA is that all these teams are TOO LAZY to build a good team. They rather go out and BUY players who ain't accomplished s**t. Props to all the teams that draft and develop.
100% agree. None of the moves seem to make sense. It feels like they don’t take complimentary players into proper consideration anymore. These players help win championships and evolve teams.
It's more the owners that want immediate results and are not patient enough
Buy players that ain’t accomplished shit!? What did Kawhi do the season before he joined the clippers?
@@BigPlasticPlantaccomplished shit for other teams but not for the clippers, unless you consider always injured being something😂
I think it's a little harsh to say lazy in the Clippers case
In 2019, they chose to compete with the pieces they had instead of tank. People praised them for anti tank culture. And their reward was attracting free agents like Kawhi.
I get they can be better at player development, but it's not like the Clippers method was super lazy and disrespectful. It's a gamble you take as a business
Did everyone miss the part where you are forced to stand up and cheer under surveillance, or get banned for lack of participation.
Just like North Korea: Better cry and cheer for The Great Leader or face the consequences
Yeah that's exactly what I was thinking. North KoreArena
If you go to an arena and are a fan and then don't cheer the team up you shouldn't be there lol why are you so butt hurt over something that actually makes sense.
yeah the only difference is Clippers fans are willingly paying money to attend these games and North Koreans are stuck there against their will 💀 nigga really said North Korea
@@emilfrederiksen.1622that guy who made the original comment is a bot
@@emilfrederiksen.1622An arena doesn’t dictate how you should cheer. Peak stupidity right there. That’s like a grocery store telling you how you should shop.
Kawhi's decision to go to the Clippers as the reigning finals MVP in a weak conference made no sense in the first place.
It made all the sense. He fucking HATED being in Canada (from the taxes, to the nightlife, to the weather) and wanted to go home (he's from LA). He's already won his rings and secured his legacy. He wasn't playing for that shit no more.
He and his uncle were trying to force their way to LA from the Spurs. The Spurs correctly diagnosed that he had a degenerative knee, and it would never truly get better. But Kawhi got his own doctor to lie about it, because he wanted to get that bag in LA.
Spurs traded him to a contending team outside of their conference, and he won a chip. But he was never going to stay anywhere he went. Then he completed his master plan of getting to LA. Too bad he ain't won shit since, but that wasn't part of the plan. Getting a bag in LA was always the plan. And he has gotten the bag, and the injury karma for such a scheme.
I can explain They soothed he and his greedy hustler uncle egos so kawhi can be lazy and not stay healthy spurs fans are owed an apology for how they’ve been called out for warning us about kawhi Leonard
Canada kinda sucks
@@Cooe. Did you seriously just tell me Kawhi cares about the nightlife? 😅
I’m from LA and a Clippers fan and ur right about our fan base. We do have a “decent fanbase” since LA has a large population but it’s like 10 Laker fans for every Clipper fan.
Only reason I choose Clips over Lakers is cuz i grew up watching the Lob city days. But that new arena should’ve been built in San Diego, in a city where the team would actually be appreciated.
But fs I think PG gotta go.
SD does not care about sports like that. But PG got to
Go. It’s time. Abysmal.
Let PG walk and let Norm cook
Who made all of that happen? LAWRENCE FRANK, the GM, needs to be fired.
this guy takes any sketchy ad jesus
Yeah. I love this dudes content, but he clearly doesn’t vet his sponsors and he (like the majority) never lets people know all of his gambling “wins” are with house money that the apps give him to bet. Same with FlightMike. He always posts his wins but has never admitted he doesn’t lose when he lose.
BUT FIRST!
Not at all. You should see some of the stuff I turn down. This sponsor is a banking app just like Chime. There’s no shame in getting your paycheck a few days early if that’s what you need to do.
I’ve used the app a while back to borrow money it’s actually not sketchy 😂 better then promoting gambling like the rest
@AMHoops that is not reality. These apps make their money off of targeting vulnerable people. This is shameful.
Clippers owner should just bring some full time basketball fans from Serbia and Greece and pay them to attend the games.
Get 1.000 of those and ask them to make an atmosphere.
Have you seen the Euroleauge games of the Greek and Serbian teams ?? The fans are insane and they never stop singing and cheering.
And it would be a lot cheaper than this Wall thing he is installing lmao
You also called the Gobert trade the worse deal in NBA history
My theory is that Kawaii wanted Clippers to give up all their draft picks to basically make rebuilding impossible, and bascially force the clippers to pay him well into his 30s and avoid ever have to settle for a vet minimum contract. James Harden is also now part of that action. Pretty sure Clippers are gonna give big contract to James Harden soon cause they have been back to a corner that is the only option.
Kawhi is an undercover Laker who’s sole purpose rn is to torment and bankrupt the Clippers💀
Atp they don't have any choice either. They signed kawhi to an extension. Harden is a free agent. PG has a player option he can either opt in to and clippers can trade that, it's not gonna get them a whole lot tho but it's 1 year so that might interest some team willing to clear cap space next year. Or PG might decline and maybe they resign him. Westbrook is for sure gonna be declining his player option. So do you resign 1 of them and maybe get under the tax. Or sign them to run it back again and risk going into luxury tax, which is gonna penalize them even more as time goes on they're on there.
Again they don't have a choice unless they blow it up and decide to trade kawhi and in turn PG might just decline the option as he doesn't want to rebuild. At that point tho you're gonna go to your new stadium with a bunch of nobodies trying to tank.
Hilarious theory but definitely possible 😂
He bullied them into taking Paul George they lost a player that could’ve been the greatest clipper of all time shai gilgeous Alexander kawhi Leonard James harden Westbrook Kevin Durant Ben Simmons and kyrie Irving have ruined player empowerment for everyone
Kawhi is a great player but i dont think he gives 2 shits about winning anymore, if he does great if not he's still making bank and has the team by the balls
Him signing there was a semi retirement plan for him and uncle Dennis all the choke jobs And injured postseason in the world wont change his mind on that
The fact that we saw a healthy Kawhi and PG in the playoffs year one and the blew a 3-1 lead should’ve been enough to know this team would never be able to get it done. These guys aren’t getting younger, Kawhi will regress in terms of production with these injuries. The few games the Clippers won were without Kawhi. I’m glad he didn’t re-sign in Toronto now tbh. Great player in his peak but needs a deep roster to support him.
Nowadays he's the most injury prone athlete ever, to your point and if you're a Raptors fan, you're to be glad he didn't resign, and if you're a Clippers fan (like me) be miserable and angry with the front office
@@ShadowKnight1980 Yeah as a Raptors fan i'm glad he didn't re-sign. I doubt they'd be in a place to draft Scottie if he was still on the team. Clippers have always been a cursed franchise. Great owner but they've greatly capped the amount of moves they can make with basically no young prospects with all star potential. They may as well blow it up this off season, the draft class after this coming one is supposed to be pretty good.
You can't demand the fans to cheer for specific team. You gotta be so good that they can't help but cheer for you. I don't see the Clippers turning around this decade...
It makes they wanna a create a hard home atmosphere kinda like MSG.
@@emilfrederiksen.1622 Artificially? Kinda weak that they have to fake it to make up for it.
@idiotrun1997 One thing's for certain. Ballmer better learn his lesson from the Kawhi and PG experiment and not repeat it in the next 6 years.
If Ballmer isn't committed to a rebuild, I can see him selling the team after Clippers host All-Star Weekend in their new arena
@@emilfrederiksen.1622 That large screen ain't it.
What was the interior designer thinking? 🤦
they'd be better off banning people who cheer for the other team & not allowing people to sit in such a designated area if they can't get excited when the team is playing well.
This feels like an ad for the new clippers arena lol
But besides kawhi not being able to stay healthy. I knew this season was done for the clippers when Harden tried to block kawhis shot in a game. He doesn't even close that hard against opponents. Blow it up!
Imagine if they just kept SGA. They probably will be better than this Kawhi/PG era
Not probably, for sure, because they'd had kept also all these picks. But now they are doomed 😢
There was no way for anyone to know that SGA would turn out to be the player he is. He hadn't done anything in the league yet.
He took the warriors with Kevin Durant to 6 games with Lou Williams and Danilo Gallinari as his next best players. 2018-2019 was a magical season.
He had no signs of stardom when they traded him. He had potential but he was looking like he'd be a good roleplayer. PG was top 3 in MVP voting, All-NBA first team, and an established star.
Paul George put his all into every team he was on. I’d be really sad if it all ended with him never getting a chip
He dont show up in big games. He'll never win unless he the 3rd option on a team.
Dude is one of the most inconsistent players in nba history. What is there to be sad about? The man has been selling us on what exactly? Look at this years playoff line. His own podcast he admits he shoulda coulda woulda. He’s Tobias Harris in a tougher conference.
@tydenerrek05 Paul George lost to a rookie in the 2018 playoffs, who he (& Chris Paul) recommended to not play another year in college and declare for the Draft...
You CAN'T MAKE THIS SH* UP🤣🤣🤣
@@cl91 Tobias wouldn't have taken the Heat to 6 or 7 games, but I HEAR you 😂😂😂
i'd honestly forgotten just how truly unreliable kawhi has been until you pointed out he's only played in 4 playoff games. that really put it into perspective
3:53 Nice little symbols from James. Evil people.
Yo, the fact he bought the forum cash for 400 million, just to spend 2 billion, is some Bruce Wayne type spending
Bald gorilla has all that Microsoft money from morons for past 4 decades.
So many teams are regretting giving up their draft picks and young players for stars.. Had LA kept SGA and developed their young guys they’d be setup for success in a new arena. Instead they’re about to lose their “stars” for nothing and pay the others millions for them to sit on the bench or under perform when they’re needed most.
Big love for you man
you are forgetting the 4% philly city tax to it is 7.5% state and local taxes
He also didn't account for Jock Taxes. That's going to cut into those percentages a bit too when every California game will cost him 13.3%. Not saying the cheaper market doesn't save you $, it's just not as much as the straight tax % of your state.
I'm not maxing either one of these dudes
hi
They're all old and washed, any team that signed them is going to regret it
It sounds crazy to some, but trading Kawhi would get you back valuable assets rather than just paying him to sit for vital parts of your post season.
They should F around and trade him to New Orleans. They never get stars in free agency anyway 😅
Assets? So you're counting on idiots that haven't paid attention to NBA the last 5 yrs to offer valuable assets for an aging player with chronic injuries that have kept him from playing?
Chances are minuscule that someone is so stupid but I guess you can believe in miracles.
Seats with chips that force you to stand and cheer BUT also makes the seats super comfortable to sit in?
No wonder the Clippers don't win with management like this.
I haven’t even finished the vid and I already know this is gonna be another masterpiece from you 😆
can you make a comment that sounds more like a bot please ?
@@mekacrab
This video is so epic for real lolololololol 🤯! Time to dig into some cold melon and toenail soup!
Hi Casey, what happened to the pod? Your pod was great!
love the vids
This team needs to be blown up. I’ve said this since 2022. People underestimate how easy it could be. Zubac/Mann/Powell/Bones could get you picks. Then you have tons of cap space next summer. Maybe Warriors take Kawhi for a pick and salary.
Kawhi looks stoned out his mind in that thumbnail
Maybe he's related to Brandon Ingram...
Laughs in San Antonio Spurs
The new arena is going to be a great selling point for new players.
If Kawhi had an 18 year old son, I wonder if the Clippers would draft him.
They need to sell tickets to their new arena 😂😂
SGA IS 25 turning 26
Dave>Underdog🙏🙏
Now look I would fully understand if the Clippers were asking him to take some kind of massive pay cut, but if they're offering him the same deal that Kawhi got? At some point, you do just look greedy when either contract would set your family up for generations AND you've already MADE enough to set your family up for generations. The only thing PG13 should be aiming at is a ring and his legacy at this point. The Clippers have the talent, but need a top-shelf big to compete in the Western Conference playoffs. Freeing up a little cash from the contracts of PG13, Kawhi, and Harden to do that should be something worth having a conversation around.
Sign and trade PG to the Knicks
The disrespect towards Luka and the Mavs, who actually beat the Clippers, is kinda ridiculous. You mention Edwards, Jokic and SGA as young superstars leading strong teams in the Western Conference and not him? Btw.: SGA is not 24, but 25 soon turning 26 and older than Doncic.
Who cares about this joke of a team from Texas
Who cares about the Mavs 😂
@@ShadowKnight1980 Maybe not you, but obviously a lot of people do. Who are you rooting for?
@@antifaschi7869 I root for a miserable, unpopular team, that everyone hates. Media, referees, TH-cam ppl (like Bill Simmons, or Casey Keirnan, etc) Can you guess?
It is easy I suppose
@@ShadowKnight1980 Just tell me. Fans of almost every team would claim that they are hated by media, refs etc., I guess. xD Btw....I never watched Bill Simmons and had to look him up. I am from Germany and started to follow the NBA again during the season Milwaukee won the chip after a very long abstinence. I am not that familiar with all these media guys you have. Who cries currently the most about refs and is indeed a miserable, unpopular team? Maybe the Sixers with their flopping playoff-choker Embiid? xD
I just saw the channels you follow. So nevermind. Poor guy. :P
The GOAT of sports arenas and it's not even close. But the team is very flawed and damaged so the fans can spend their whole time on their iphones/androids instead of the games. 🤦🏼
0:40 had me dying
😂😂😂
Steve Ballmer is a mad man, i love it
Dolan: "No, you can't make it here."
Balmer: *Drops 4 million*
Dolan: "I'm out."
Jesus loves you
Ballmer should have moved the team to Vegas.
I agree. But they are gonna make new teams soon.
You can't just relocate Clippers to a whole 'nother state. It's not in the NBA's best interest.
The only exception is if a team's first (state or country - Canada) city doesn't generate enough revenue and ends up broke, like Seattle and moving to OKC
Regarding Westbrook's statement. The first part was defensive enough: sounds like Russ wrote that or dictated that to a writer. But the overall writing style doesn't sound like how he talks, nor what he talks about. Someone else wrote that statement, then Russ gave it his imprimatur.
Banger of a video
🤖
Diabolical. Wouldn't catch me in that place.
Blow it up completely and move the franchise to Seattle. Makes no sense why LA has two NBA teams.
God I love you. Thanks for doing these vids.
Honestly A for effort it's nice seeing an owner put so much into the team. But some of those things are stupid af. Clippers sales are mainly Lakers fans who can't afford laker tickets. I went to a clipper playoff game for a good deal. Going to a laker playoff game is like two weeks of groceries.
Why do people call that the PG trade bad? That trade was for two players not one because if they didn’t get PG they wouldn’t get Kawhi so essentially they traded SGA, Galinari and all those picks for “Kawhi & PG”.
Big facts
They call it bad because it was bad.
@@xander0901 it’s bad in hindsight. It wasn’t bad when they made it🤷🏿♂️…just as a personal opinion I don’t think the Clippers were gonna get SGA to the level he’s at now in OKC. I don’t trust the Clippers to draft as well as OKC and I don’t trust them to develop a young star: I mean look at Blake, just entertaining but nowhere near a competitive force like the OKC have done with SGA.
What about people who want to watch the game? Or if they're idk.....DISABLED? Having to stand up constantly is absurd. Can you not just clap?
Should've stayed with the raptors huh kawhi 💀
Living in San Diego next to the ocean or an urban sh*thole like Toronto. Hmmm...
But yeah, playing in weak east does have advantages...
@vlada damn why u so mad all I said is kawhi should've stayed with the raptors he probably would win another ring I never said anything about the city of Toronto or LA calling Toronto s*ithole tells me alot about what type of fan u is
Why do people pretend like what the Clippers did was so outer worldly? There isn’t a team in the league that would have done a thing differently. Getting the FMVP to paid with a guy who was 3rd in mvp voting and the role players are a Friday team that made it to the playoffs without a all star player. C’mon man. I don’t blame Steve or Jerry for that. Look what LA gave up for AD, Clippers didn’t make all that trade for PG, they made it to get Kawhi & PG.
They’re not going to be able to maintain all those features in the stadium for long.
Cool arena 👍
As a clipper fan
It has been a disappointment but you can’t just blow it up, at least not now, the Clippers don’t have there draft pick until two more years, so you keep running it back until Kawhi’s deal is up and if they can’t win, blow it up after, when they will have there own pick
If they decide to blow it up now, The Thunder will be an even bigger winner from that PG13 trade because they will have even higher picks at there hands
If you wait for Kawhi's deal to end then you get nothing back from his departure.
Bro didn’t even need to drop this we all know this no disrespect
The issue is ... Kawahi out here getting 150 mil for 3 years.... And he is barely able to make it thru the regular season healthy. Any of the other starters, pg, harden , zub would be thinkin.... 'this fool gettin 150 mil for nothin , why am I expected to perform at a high level ?'.😏
6:34 that math is wrong, nba players pay state taxes for each game in the state the game was played in so half of the games pay would be taxed at the 12.5% then the other games pay would be taxed at the state tax rate that they are playing in. Example: play the magic in Orlando and you pay ZERO state tax..play a game in Sacramento you’d pay the California state tax rate.
The math is complex but you misrepresented it as if it was super simple
I went on vacation to LA in November 2019 and caught one of PG-13’s first games as a Clipper (I think Kawhi was injured at the time)… anyway I went to Staples Center and saw PG-13 set the Clippers single game record for most 3PM in a game. It’s been all downhill since for them it seems.
The GM that made that trade should have nightmares every night that OKC plays...
Why's everyone surprised abt Kawhi? He strung Spurs for years and he's gotten 2 rings and getting paid. He doesn't care one lick.
@AMHoops Why do you lie about James Harden beeing 0/6 from three when he actually was 1/7 from three. I know it doesnt change the narrative much but still you did it intentionally. Maybe so you could paint him in a bad light even more?
Many superstars don't understand the meaning of teamwork, trust and unity because they are selfish and egomaniac. That's problematic for the Clippers.
It would be so awkward for the clippers if none of the 4 washed up superstars stayed. Then they would have young guys and rookies play in this massive arena which is so pressuring for them
3:53 and the Sparks lol
You a beast at this bro 💯
💯🤖
It's completely understandable as to why they'd keep this foolish dream alive. Unless the Clippers want to have the new arena filled with opposing fans, which would mean a lot of kick-outs.
Casey i love ur vids and appreiciate the 4 vids a week. Could u do a vid about SAC soon and any trades they could make?
I feel PG for this. He's always available for his team every night to play ball. but that guy Kawhi Leonard. No where to be found. Street Clothes Kawhi..
California state taxes is insane 😮
They don’t have to let Harden walk because there’s really not much cap space out there now. A sign and trade is very likely. They could get picks and an expiring deal. They can trade PG and Kawhi for at least 5-6 first rounders. Then maybe trade Powell for a first. Harden then can net you a first. I’d rather do this than continue to hover around mid.
4:53 is that actually a rule? Because that’s some bs. I’d never go there
Shai is 25. But I loved the video! Keep it up
Paul George, Kawhi, james Harden and Russell Westbrook are from LA. They will all take less money to stay
Russ is such a beautiful soul, that's all I can say
PG max contract is wild, whoever will give him that contract regret it.
None of those PG stats matter if he’s not mentally tough when it counts
If Boston don't win it all this year, after all the conference finals and ×1 Finals appearances they have, I'm gonna start treating Tatum like George Paul
"oh a million other teams would love to be us" really?? there are only 30 NBA teams... 60 if you count the G league teams
PG doesn’t really fix Philly’s issues which are mainly 3 pointers and perimeter defense

Thanks for acknowledging how crappy it’s been with these crappy game times in Staples/Crypto !! Three years ago in the playoffs, the Clippers had to play every other day for 2 weeks straight. 😖
All the teams that are doing well in the nba have the same thing in common. They built teams with young talent they developed over time. Lakers/Clippers keep trading for names to build around very old talent which has never been a successful strategy in the basketball.
The new era of players are dominating
State taxes aren’t that simple but I get your point
Im sure if it is just 10M more he wont leave he loves his hometown
I would’ve moved the team to Seattle immediately after realising the Clippers need their own arena.
Makes perfect sense if your a Thunder fan 👌👌💪
Cmon let's be real here, none of the first-round exit star teams is blowing it all up, and especially not the Clips!
Could you please do a video about the possibility of all the older superstars teaming up for a season
So you want a modern day 2014 Spurs-Team USA type of squad...
Like Kenan always says, WHY???
Expensive and giant scoreboard to remind the home team and fans how much they trail the visiting team.
I wouldnt extent Kawhi
Imagine this, San Antonio signs PG, they trade their 2 top 8 picks for Trae Young. How scary would a big 3 of Trae Young, PG, and Wemby would be?!
