12 million people have probably made this observation, but it is pretty funny how on the biggest NFL trade day it’s a big deal when a second-round pick gets moved and James Harden got dealt on a random Tuesday in the NBA – 4:19 PM

So, to recap:
Kawhi forced the Clippers to trade for Paul George, which then forced OKC to trade Russ to Houston, but Harden and/or Russ forced Russ to D.C., and then Harden forced his way to BK and Philly and now LA, where he’ll play with Russ and PG and Kawhi.
Makes sense. – 2:45 PM

Happy Halloween. The LA Clippers did what they usually do — make the damn trade. In doing so, they consolidated all of their veteran power forwards and got the NBA’s 2023 assist champ in James Harden.
It’s early. They’re not finished.
