The Clippers are in a desperate situation that not enough people are talking about. James Harden might be their next point guard but they have an outside chance at Damian Lillard.
@bigjohncena6986 It's hard to say someone is due when what's keeping them out is a series of related, lower-body injuries and he's only getting older.
Stop listing Klay or even Draymond among free agents as options for mock trades/sign in. The warriors would NEVER let them go and I doubt other teams would want them anyway.
Actually if the Lakers fall apart again and the Clippers with all that cap space if they don’t resign Kawhi and PG, Lebron might consider signing there and attract other star players and role players since it’s still in La and he won’t have to move, he would probably sign a contract that will make him a free agent the year Bronny enters the league, so it’s a possibility but yea I can see what you’re saying
Half this video was straight opinion lol russ went crazy for them in the playoffs & end of the year. He also didn’t even mention how harden doesn’t need to be great to be effective with them since he’d be the 3rd option
This guy just exaggerates and dramatizes everything. Don't take his channel seriously for opinions. Just leave your brain on the side and watch you'll like the channel.
I love these videos, it keeps my activity as an nba fan high and Casey you are the reason I’m a huge fan today. Thx for making more videos to spark my curiosity
My dad has been saying Kawhi had severe knee issues since that game Zaza stepped on his leg. He believes he has deteriorative arthritis in either one/both of his legs. I believe Kawhi has at most another 2-3 seasons in him especially after hearing he’s had a clean-up surgery. If he starts having bone-bone friction it’s all over for Kawhi which I hope is not the case. His game is immaculate and he’s been sorely missed. Also fuck Harden keep him out
Exactly most people forget about this... especially media ... I am pretty sure GSW got bad karma cuz of that and it was a reason for Klay and KD injury, no one ever apologizes while knowing it was part of the game plan to an extend
Just really disappointing that you have two of the best players in the league then for some reason when you needed them the most they just aren't available because of injuries... Balmer just cannot figure this out after all this time around.
😑 Recency Bias He averaged like 22ppg and led the league in 3PM. U just remember the last couple of games of that laker series where he wasn’t that efficient.
@@oreonba Not really. Points don't mean anything. The three players I named all have a higher PER and win share than Klay. This goes with Tyrese Maxey as well. Klay should move down in the chart is all im saying.
@AMHoops Hey Casey, I’m curious what your thoughts are on the kings signing Sasha Vezenkov. Do you think this is a notable addition? Anything to keep an eye on?
The issue wasn’t the player/pick package, the Knicks were comfortable giving up RJ, Fournier, and 3 firsts and that would’ve made sense. It’s the fact that the trade would have, reportedly, required the Knicks to give PG a max 4 year extension, which no way in hell am I guaranteeing so much money for him through his age 39 season with his injury history.
I have a feeling that unprotected 2026 Clipper pick will be a top 5 pick because the roster they have built will have aged or injured out of contention unless they make a miracle trade or signing of a top player or 2 their current big 2 may be retired then. OKC have hit and a few picks and if they can bring it together they are a clear team of the future. Imagine them being one of the best teams right on the cusps of a championship and having the #1 pick. It could happen.
They’re absolutely loaded in top young players and picks. If they fumble a championship in the future it’s bad, they can pretty much do anything they want and trade for anyone they want. They’ll have to do it soon though before they all start getting on to their second contracts.
If Harden somehow would end up going to the Clippers w/ Russ, Kawhi & PG. This would be a great matchup for Warriors. Cuz you got 2 great playmakers on both sides Harden & CP3, both surrounded by great scorers.
It's actually insane on a level that I can't even comprehend, that the Blazers management could never bring any legit talent to come play with Dame. All those years. It's borderline a 30 for 30 story.
I'm going to laugh my ass off if Dame goes to Miami because he refused any other team and they don't make the finals again with him😂. I don't know why he thinks they're such a lock for the finals in the East.
If I trade Kawhi, I'm getting rid of PG as well. No one, and I mean no one is going to watch PG carry a team. I'd be trading PG or both. No way in hell am I keeping PG over Kawhi. Considering that PG has only played 28 more regular season games than Kawhi, it's a definite no for me.
Why does Harden keep getting all the hate for his performance while he literally carried the Sixers to game 7 while not even being their go-to player? Why does Embiid seem to be out of the spotlight when people start pointing fingers?
It’s Harden man. He will always get hate unless he manages to get a ring. It’s really sad because he’s had so many unfortunate moments that have happened in the playoffs and goin to war with the juggernaut warriors, and yet get ps the most hate in the league. I just hopes he wins so he can shut these idiots up.
@@johny8241 the harden Hate is insane. I would know I love harden and from Philadelphia. It is so disgusting. Hope he stays but the fans are so misinformed. There's 2 dudes who hate on harden all day on TH-cam. They made a channel out of it. Harden is incredible fuck the hater.
If a team could get harden and just use him as a playmaker first (although I do understand that he still has to be a scoring threat, I mean just not have him iso-ball for 50 percent of the game) and have him maintain a 20 ppg and 10 apg statline, he’d be a phenomenal piece. I feel like he can keep those averages in the playoffs too. Could be a catch and shoot menace.
Recovery timeline for Kawhi was reportedly 8 weeks. Had the procedure done in the middle of June So when training camp rolls around, we'll see if he's out there.
"Dame is much better" what exactly has dame done??? everyone likes to say harden is a choker but not act like dame got swept by the warriors when harden to them to 7 and 6 games lmao
If the Sixers wouldn’t trade Simmons without getting Harden, they’re not trading Harden without getting a PG or Kawhi. And unfortunately they signed Mo Bamba and Montrez Harold, so they are not trading for somebody for Norman Powell.
Russ was great for the Clips, he’s been All Star caliber in his time with them. The Clips woulda easily beat Phoenix if Kawhi & PG were healthy and had a solid chance to win the chip this year
This the shit tht concern me with my knicks. If this trade went thru I swear to God I would've officially retired my New York Knickerbocker fan card for good. 🤦🏽♂️
It's good that somebody loves his game. Why is he whining and wants out of Philly now????? There's the problem. Not a 76ers fan but Harden is on a good team with a superstar center. (I'm a Denver fan and prefer Jokic but Joel is still one of the best players in the league.) And yet he's bitching again after demanding out of Brooklyn .....
The narrative that Dame is better than Harden needs to be reconsidered my man. Harden destroyed Dame year in and year out in the regular and post season throughout Dames prime. Hardens Rockets took out the Blazers, Jazz, nuggets and pelicans year after year (Dame, Donovan, Murray/Jokic, AD)
Why would any team trade a first team all-nba player, a guy who just finished 2nd for roty, and multiple picks for an injured player on the back end of his prime? 😂 OKC would need to be the stupidest team in the history of basketball to pull a stunt like that!

literally tho Imagine trading away Kawhi For Harden, and then Kawhi actually doesn't "load manage" and leading philly to their first chip since 1983
I could see that happening lol
I was actually hoping that Kawhi joins Luka. Those 2 would be unstoppable. Kawhi just needs to wear a knee brace when he gets back on the court.
Leonard in Philly will definitely win a 🏆, only reason he hurt his knee is because PG was out and he came back way too aggressive
