Kawhi has zero business playing in the Olympics this summer and I expect him to drop out
Exactly! And USAB should give Kawhi spot to Kyrie Irving! But since my man Kyrie was big time against COVID-19 protocol garbage, USAB will black-ball him! Sad, just sad!
Absolutely .. Banchero should replace Kawhi
He’ll just play a couple minutes, then sit like he usually does
ya he might get a mild calf strain or a sore foot then miss half of the next nba season
I expect him to be the 12th player and not play at all
4 out of 19 playoff game attendance stat is actual insane ☠️
I thought he was exaggerating but it’s actually true😭
😳😳😳
Bam Son
That’s very alarming 🚨
After Toronto Kawhi decided to move back home to LA to work part-time and ease into retirement
That was nasty,but you are right.
19-20 he really tried too and wanted to win in that bubble. But blew 3-1 lead to Denver
Kawhi keep finessing 😂😂
Finess heeemmmmmm man what yo lost his passion for the game
Bossman dlow Aka Kawhi Leonard
True AF
Fk it😂
Biggest thief😂
Remember when everyone was saying clippers was going to be contenders ?😂
If 100% healthy. Don’t forget that part. We just can never see ‘em 100% healthy
Its year after year, media guys is whatever, but sports books had them 3-4th if u bet for championship like every year, its insane, in my eyes they had like max 10% chance to move on against Dallas, but betting sites had them high, i guess alot of people still believe in them year after year anyway. The only one team they could have beaten in west in these playoffs were Pelicans, and with Zion it would still have been 50/50.
They say that Shidd every year
Last time they were healthy was 2020
@@DamonFoster97when are they healthy, so the answer is no chance
To be frank
Kawhi is a part time player. Plays in regular season and goes on vacation in post season. Paul George has a cap limit to how much he actually cares about winning a championship and competing. And Harden creates so much drama and adds so much dysfunction, it's hard to find any players that mesh well with him.
Best Big 3 James Harden was apart it was in OKC along with KD and Westbrook and still would have been relevant today if they would of stood together.
Why blame harden ???? Yeah i get the past but harden was the one carrying in those first games against the mavs shooting crazy. Now hes the one to blame instead of pg and kawhi who the team is built around??? What dysfunction has harden created ? They play best when hes playing. In the post season on his last teams he wasent ever problem. He wasent the problem in okc or houston or even bkn and nothing in philly till it was over. He created problems at the start of seasons to be traded okay but when hes playing in the post season what dysfunction?
@@davidmartin5543Nah you not gonna win a championship with Westbrick as your starting point guard
@davidmartin5543 you can't say that LMAO that's theory
@@Tunechi65 think about it tho they made it to the finals together in OKC and was on the rise of the peak of their careers..
How can one player be injured for 10 years! CRAZY!!!
Kawhi is an insurance scam artist. 🤕 ♿️ 💰
he was pretty healthy in Toronto lol but he'll probably never admit that's where he was the happiest in his entire career
should just stayed🤷♂
Kawhi has degenerative knees
He already played his way into the hall of fame, and unlike Harden and some recent inductees - he actually earned it!
Yea especially the playoffs
Opening a new arena with a rebuilding team is kinda wild lol. They do need their own building though
I personally think that they should still room with The Lakers until they actually accomplish something. The Clippers NEED to rebuild. They can compete with some teams, but not against the ones that they will need to compete against. They may have to go young, to at least match the energy of MN and OKC.
I mean the Warriors did with chase center
@@fassman11yeah cause they had a dynasty squad that helped them get their finances up 100x
@@fassman11 but they were already champions
"You ain't gonna be intuit but so much with Kawhi Leonard" 🤣
That trade of SGA for PG and picks is a killer for the Clippers
Get a life
@@jenolez1143 I’m good… 👍🏽
@@kevind6965 I doubt it
@@jenolez1143 👌🏽 ok
One of the worst trades in Clippy history.
Anyone else remember when Kawhi had that whole thing with the crown commercial coming to LA lol
Yup. He picked the wrong L.A. team.
And everybody joked and laughed the clippers are the kings of la and Denver put them out the bubble,the look of confusion and excuses was hilarious
😂 that season was too funny especially after they lost in the playoffs. That first take segment was too funny with Max
First things first when they were laughing at brou
HE NEVER ARRIVED!!!!!😂
How is Leonard playing for Team USA? Can’t even play for the team that pays him
I didn't realize clippers gave all that for Paul George. Crazy. Lol
Right man I just said the same thing seeing how that turned out today is insane the clippers got fleeced 😂😂
4 of 19 playoff games is insane
That's what losers do
Steve Balmer is a great owner but it’s kinda clear he doesn’t know much about actual basketball.
he admits it early in his ownership.....he really doesn't know much about basketball....
True! Balmer should have hired someone to teach him how to run an organization. Balmer should have hired Jim Buss as an advisor. Jim would have taken the job happily since he has been out of the league for a few years!
@nikolaivista920 that's why he has a GM. Balmer doesn't put the team together. He just pays for it.
Didn't he have Jerry West as an advisor? Didn't West advise him to draft Alexander? And, to this day I do not understand trading young and upcoming talent for overhyped over the hill guys like PG.
So doesn't most owners, baller a businessman who has clearly always been invested in the growth of tech, that's his known hobby 😂😂😂
Playoff P turned into Podcast P 😂
Yo 😂😂😂
😅😅😅
I'm a Kawhi fan, but the only way i can see him getting back to another championship is if he gets himself a prosthetic leg 💀
💀💀💀
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😭😭😭💀💀
SaS is 1000% Correct..total rebuild
This roster(or any past roster)is not productive in post season
No he not
Testify! The Clippers need to buy out those Contracts, release those player, head into THe Lottery and completely rebuild the team from top to bottom.
@@JuliusC1973 Do y’all understand they don’t have any picks for the next 5 years
Clean house dawg.
fans just be talking if a team gave up all that for one player why would they rebuild.. better question how can they rebuild.. even if they did and were to tank/lose games they wouldn't own their pick it would go to OKC so their best option is to pay PG and be competitive hoping the injury bug doesn't bite again
@@hooligan5381Sign & trades. Get as much value as you can.
They’re the 2013 Nets at this point
@@BagmanSports pretty much man even still they most likely wont get as back they really screwed up not keeping Shai especially seeing he’s a superstar now
No, they don’t have draft picks for like 5 years. They should not clean house, they need butts in the new arena
@@hooligan5381 Agreed. But you’ve got to make that trade for Kawhi. Worked for the Raptors.
Something is better than nothing though. Rather have a trash team with a plan for the future moving into a new building than running this crew back to get swept by the Wolves next year.
Coming from a guy who said Kyrie Irving should retire.
I thought he said that about kawhi
At the time he said that, Kyrie was trippin.... and he didn't say he should retire for basketball reasons, it was the extra stuff he was doing.
@@eternalyfefulyes he did
Be happy, not because everything is good, but because you can see the good side of everything
If im PG im out...headed to Orlando. Just as much if not more sunshine, beaches, good food, and NO state tax at all. Not to mention you would have an all star teammate on a team that just made the playoffs...PG head to Orlando!
He ain't leaving because he was born n raised in California 😂😂😂😂. He loves the West Coast
Why would he head to Orlando just to lose in the 1st round again? There's good food everywhere
@@abrowne153 with PG and a decent piece they can make the ECF easily
Just imagine come to Orlando maybe 4 years after he choked the lead with clippers and hit the side of the backboard
@@abrowne153 If I'm PG I will take my chances with Paolo instead of Kawhi or Joel Embid. Neither one ain't healthy in playoffs over and over again. I'm out!
I bet they would love to send PG back for SGA now
Crazy how sga way better now 😂
They should have listened to doc rivers warning them not to trade SGA for Pandemic P and to be patient...😅
This has aged well we can all agree !
Bruh, seeing that trade now and all they gave up just for Paul George especially seeing how sga turned is insane that’s up there with the Celtics fleecing the nets
@@Sauce7.62especially considering Paul at that time is just a star player he’s not a superstar he’s a very great scorer but. If KD or lebron or anything like that blame kawhi I say for wanting him that bad they gave up there whole future
@@NBAsportsworldshai is young & just become good it’s not crazy considering pg is in his mid 30s tf
0:05 Unc mouthing *"No"* at the jump was fkn hysterical 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thunder fleeced da Clippers
Gotta love Stephen A. He may be over the top sometimes to a lot of ppl, but I love how he passionate he is about sports, especially basketball. He speaking nothing but facts about kawhi too. That dude is a beast when he’s healthy, but he can never stay healthy when his team needs him the most. And that’s a big part of why the clippers are in trouble. They need to move all of their core pieces, get some good assets back, and prepare themselves for their new arena soon.
Remember people saying Kawhi was better than Lebron 😂😂
Yet there both sitting home
@@RFSpartan yet one is better than the other
Let’s not forget clippers had shai gilgeous 😆
They should never traded him to okc for Paul George
As a clipper fan for 11-12 years I’m done man, it’s one thing to try ya best and lose but ever since the lob city days we ALWAYS beat ourselves and I’ve been dealing with your since I was 12 man 😂
Paul gorge and Trae young to San Antonio while victor is on his rookie contract would be something to watch
These young teams don’t need these old players slowing down their offense.
Harden hasnt thrown a lob in 162 days
🤔
He was just lobbing up Westbrook against the Mavs
@@chrism8843 to another point guard.. doesnt count
He threw one to plumlee and zu in that series
@@maliikwright1666 the point im making is that he is in the wrong place. Get him to the bucks
Should definitely get rid of Kawhi. Can't believe they paid him that new contract...smh
How badly will the Kawhi trade be remembered? He took the owner for quite a ride - thought they'd finally unlocked something with Russ and James ...
*Just change the Clippers Stadium name from "Intuit Dome" to "Sometimes Intuit Dome". Done.* 😅
They took two days to get the clippers. If the lakers lose, it’s the first story on Monday morning 💀
Clips not a championship or bust organization
@@Cahluvca Neither is any team finishing the season as the 8th seed
You answered your own question. It’s the clippers. The lakers are the marquee franchise of the NBA.
we all need to remember that the Clippers sold SGA (among several other assets) to have a bunch of old guys struggle to make it out the first round
Molly be so quick to interrupt 😒
better than malika lol she's constantly talking over people
If I were pg 13, I would leave
They should “try” to rebuild. But personally if I’m another team I don’t want any of them. One is always injured and the other two don’t show up.
Paul George won’t help with defense, his man usually scores as many points as he does.
Kawhi, PG, harden, Westbrook and you’re wondering why they can’t win ?
Kawhi is one of my favorite plays to watch but in sports there is on ability above all others that is availability without that all your skills mean nothing. I personally think he just need to retire.
Clean the house and bleach the walls.
😂😂😂
And get who? 😂
@@seaniveroni5579damn,that's for the clippers to brain storm on who knows.
@@edwinhargrave679 exactly nothing out there really unless u want a bunch of nothing lol
@@seaniveroni5579
Clean house means to start over. They've been trash they're whole existence, so a few more years of rebuilding won't hurt.
that SGA tweet was wild lol
Yeah I totally agree, they need to do a COMPLETE rebuild. Keep Ty Lue at all cost. Even if you won’t sell tickets, still break them up. It’s OVER
Even if they don’t sell tickets tf lmao then how are they going to make money 😂
@@sickvick83 Steve balmer is worth over a 100 BILLION DOLLARS!!! I’m sure he can take the risk for a good 5 years
@@Alex-kq1el😂? that still would be a huge loss after opening a new arena no matter how much money he has
Banking on Embiid is no different than gambling on Kawhi. We have seen both players hurt full seasons, half seasons and into the playoffs. At some point you have to say, “Let’s package as many players and picks as possible, unload this guy and rebuild”. Your team will struggle the next couple of seasons, but this is better than believing either one will bring you the title.
Embiid has played more. 🔴🔵🔴🔵🔴🔵
But no ring. The 76ers don't need to trade Embiid, they just need to build around Maxey while Embiid adjusts.
The Clippers need to blow it up.
Funny how they was all on the Clippers bandwagon at first and making fun of the Lakers for not getting PG and Kawhi
Keep them together. This is what they wanted. Let them keep getting wacked in the 1st round.
Kawhi will never admit that life in Toronto was better
@@mattcarberry368he was in Toronto less than a year. His family is in Southern California. He cares about his life off the court more
@Ktaurus26 I would have to agree with this. Kawhi doesn't care about winning. He cares about his money. He won a chip and got thrown into the perfect situation for him to win one but all in all he doesn't give a f*ck. He wants his comforts
From a business perspective, you still need to put out a winning product, you still gotta sell them tickets, having them together gives you that, a competitive team during the regular season that inevitably loses in the playoffs. I’d rather have that in the new arena then blowing it up and not being able to compete in the west.
Imagine a world where Ballmer owned the Lakers instead of the Clippers, my oh my!!!
Ben Simmons been getting flack for all his bs he’s doing. Kawhi should be in jail for what he’s been doing the past 5-6 years.
Remember when Shannon called him ' Government Check Kahwi?"😄😄😄😄😄
Why is NBA culture to immediately call a team a failure and dismantle the team after one season due to not winning a championship. Give teams time to develop.
SAS: I’ve known Lawrence Frank for a long time. In fact, we are, undeniably, best friends forever!
Intuit Dome? “You ain’t go be into it so much with Kawhi Leonard” 😂😂😂
Stephen A. Smith is a Savage
If only LAC had draft picks to help rebuild if they blow it up..... I wonder what they will do
Amd here i was as a lakers fan being told this core could win it all every single year for the last 5 years. Get picked to win a title every year and every year they disappoint. Everyone talks about AD staying healthy but seem to ignore kawhis health issues every time we predict title contenders.
Stephen A is funny asl 😂 🤣
Here's the problem, who would want to trade FOR them😂
Kawhi town!!!😂😂😂
The king of L.A.
they need to put incentives in Khwai contract
Clippers need a new system no James Harden, literally 😂
Harden taking a bench role makes the most sense now. His court vision is still fantastic, but he's no longer a consistent scorer able to break a defense down at will every game.
I actually wouldn't mind seeing him coming off the Rockets bench. Not for the money he wants though.
Rockets are still a couple years away from really contending; Harden will definitely be at the right age for it by then, and can retire a Rocket.
Lmao😅😅I'm with y'all when ya right
State Tax doesn't matter for NBA and NFL players, MLB etc 😂. Professional Athletes are taxed in every state they Play in !
Yea but half of those games wouldn’t be taxed
Remember when Clippers fans said this is Kawhi's town?
I remember bozos were saying Kawhi was better than Lebron and the new king of LA 😂 They also said Kawhi would win a title for the Clippers before Lebron would win a championship for the Lakers
"Ka'Why Lennid" 😆
Kawhi said f the establishment
Shannon is 100% correct. At this point, its more about drawing people into the new stadium with star power than it is for regular season and postseason success.
I and everyone should be done with Kawhi. You can’t rely on him to be healthy, simple as that. Not an opinion anymore, it’s a fact. And if PG leaves in free agency, you trade Kawhi and get as much back as you can for him.
Personally, I still think PG is capable and his game seems to age well. They should try to keep him if possible.
Simple as that
I already started in 2k 😂 Day 1 I traded Harden, Westbrook, Powell & PJ. I got back Vassell & Bassey from SA, Mann & Grant from Charlotte, Jovic from Miami & Monte Morris from MIN.
Not big moves but solid. Waiting for the offseason to get better deals for PG & Kawhi.
I think they should get rid of ethier harden or pg13 or potentially both. Then build the best team possible around kawhi and russ.
Don’t forget they also ended up with Jalen Williams with that first pick💀
I've been waiting for SAS and Unc Shay talk about the flippers
"The System, is Down..".
- Strongbad
Didn't PG say "mark my words I'm on my bully sh*t " lol
I finally agree on Stephen A's Take 😂
The whole intuit comment 😂
0:54 😭😭😭
Danm I didn't remember the Clippers gave up that much until I see this clip loll
Come up North PG13, the Bay welcomes you!!
PG is still capable, just can’t play with Harden, he wants to playmake
Pg is inconsistent and not a solid playmaker. Harden gave them the playmaking they lacked. Pg is a number 3 option.
@@blackcrow9231 Yeah but he is an entire system. Give harden players like Dillon brooks and Mikal bridges. PG aint the first ball handler but he not lost out there. He is like LeBron. Bron dont need Luka to get it dont
@@iguesss Lebron is the greatest all around player ever. He’s a very good playmaker, a great scorer thanks to his conditioning, physique and size, a bit worse on the shooting end but you still have to respect his shot.
Pg is not that.
I’d compare him more to kd, an offensive player you can slot into a lot of teams primarily to get you buckets and prevent the other team from doubling as they now have another scoring threat to watch. Pg is just less consistent than kd and has to work more for his shot as he doesn’t have the size advantage kd does.
@@blackcrow9231 Harden sucks in the new NBA, the speed of the game has passed his slow pick-in-roll offense.
@@trust4honor335 that’s a fair analysis. I think he can still adjust, but the nba speed is certainly ahead of him
He's not lying
There is something wrong with Kahwis running mechanics
Was the instagram story thing not a fake post by NbaCentel 😂?
ESPN should clean house too starting with you
Wow, that trade.
I live Stephen😂😂😂
There's sunshine in Miami too George should go there for Jimmy Butler
I've noticed all the Westbrook fans have been awfully quiet since elimination.
Because he only play 16min/game in 3 min spans; he can't be the reason.
Keep Kawhi, try to sign and trade PG(to the Knicks), probably let Harden walk... then try to get some good culture guys(like Steven Adams)
He's right there's no point in this anymore. It's over!
Sas is the reason I don’t watch ESPN.
Stephen is a part of the team.💯💯💯
They’ll move forward with harden n kawhi like sharpe said pg outta there
“Iv known -Insert important name here- for a long time”
The team that lost is talked about more than the team that won. 😂
Despite his billionaire status, Steve Ballmer has no clue what's going on with his basketball team.
1 His GM traded away SGA for Podcast P ..... Lawrence Frank is so lucky to have a super rich boss, who has 0 knowledge on the basketball operation, that's why he still got the job.
2 Kawhi's body has betrayed him, he is probably going to be injured through out his 3 years contract. I wonder who made the decision to keep Kawhi? That guy should be fired.
3 Run it back with this old and injured roster is not going to get this team no where. Imagine 2024 at the New stadium with Kawhi on street clothes sitting right next to Xavier Moon pretty much all the time, Paul George who always shows up big time on his podcast yet very inconsistent on the court, and old James Harden and Westbrook. What an excitement to expect for the clippers fans ...
How is S. Balmer supposed to sell season tickets for the new Arena, if LAC opts to rebuild now??
