@bballtalkerz: Do the Clippers get overly criticized for the PG/Shai trade; if you consider the level PG was playing at 🤔? [2019] He was one of 8 players in this century to be a finalist (top 3) for MVP and DPOY, first team all nba, and first team all defense in the same season. Averages: 28.0 points, 8.2 rebounds, 4.1 assists, and a league-best 2.2 steals per game across 77 regular-season games. Shooting Splits: 44% from the field, 39% from three-point range, and 84% from the free-throw line. #paulgeorge #clippers

People don’t realize the clippers would have a ring if kawhi wasn’t getting injured so much

Not a fan of this take as a clippers fan. The trade wasn’t Shai for PG, it was Shai who was drafted 11th overall and 5 first round picks back to back to back for PG. idc who it is, 5 first round picks is ridiculous and it’s ridiculous to say that anybody would have done that and that there lying if they say they wouldn’t. Definitely a great situation for Shai tho. Ty Lu has zero respect from this clippers team

That was a horrible trade...trades like this doesn't work. If it the PG before injury yeah but I wouldn't want kawhi at all. Kawhi is so overrated

Can’t blame the Clips for making the trade. You just can’t pass on two great two way players in their prime. The only issue was they just couldn’t stay healthy.

Nah. You don’t give up THAT much to pair very similar players/roles/positions with recent health/durability concerns. Left them with very little margin for error.

facts trade only looks bad in hindsight. kawhi looked like the best player in the world during the playoffs while winning the chip + finals mvp and pg was top 3 in mvp and dpoy voting that year. trade even worked out in SGAs favor tbh for him to reach his full potential

the trade is horrible in hindsight. But at the time it wasn't too bad. Probably too much draft capital though.

def at the time, it made sense. they wanted a win now team, so they made moves accordingly. most people thought that duo was legit enough to carry any squad.

Making a trade for pg wasn’t bad, mortgaging your future for pg was, at the time it was seen as if this goes well sure it’ll be worth it but if not then their screwed
