Clippers don't know what they wanna do over there.... they are like choosing Brooklyn over the Knicks. That might be appealing to some so I can't knock it. California is a dope place to live especially when you are rich.... that's all they have going for them. They don't have a clear focus or culture in place. They are throwing **** to the wall hoping it sticks.

At first I was thinking WTF are they thinking. But Tobias who is a FA is gonna want around max money. If they dont value him at that price range then its not a bad move to get Shamet and 2 future first and 2nd for him.

Philly is probably planning on losing Butler in FA and wants to make a run now. Tobias is a better fit.

This pushes Kyrie one step closer out the door if Miluakee or Philly keep them from reaching ECC.

Toronto will probably lock in a Gasol and Conley trade to compete.

Maybe Butler and Kawhi end up on the Clips- I'm sure there were rumours about him and another star going to the Clips back when he was with the Twolves.

Nah.. I am sure Mills/Dolan vetted this.

Only thing that makes sense is that Philly wanted help for the second half. KP would not be able to oblige.

This is not great news for the Knicks. Clippers are far from second class at the moment. The Lakers if they don't get AD are in a very tough position. The Lebron culture is pretty toxic at all times and there is always tremendous drama. The Clips have Balmer running the team and Jerry West making the decisions. If you're a free agent the logo is far more persuasive then the Knicks team they are brining to the table.

If I am the Sixers, they are going to have to give Harris 25MM a year, I think I might have rather had Hardaway Jr. and held onto my draft picks and have a guy locked in at 6MM cheaper.

this is about Kawhi for sure. I can't see him wanting to carry Lebron's bags with the Lakers, and if all those rumors about LA are to be believed Clips are making room for (at least) him

A mediocre prospect isn't a big difference. And to be honest...if I'm looking at it from a perspective of who's going to be better on a winning team, I actually like the player they got back in Landry Shamet more than DSJ. My hope with DSJ is he'll get a lot of usage and we can deal him this summer, he might have a little more value from that end.

I really don't know how people think DSJ, who was upset about not being the focal point of the Mavs offense even though he was the inferior player to Doncic...is going to be totally fine with his role if we do land 2 max's, pick in the top 3, and still have Knox. Dude would be the 4th or 5th option at best.

It's why I say he's a classic losing team player. He's not good enough to warrant the role he wants on a good team.

For the Clips to get what I think is a better compensation package for a lesser talent is a pretty good job by West. The biggest thing we got out of our trade was the salary dump.
