Shai's clutch stats are unworldly.

Brunson owns the Magic, dog walked them today.

Still feel Bane has been a terrible pickup. Just lazy with a poor work ethic and mentality

Bane was okay today but defensively the Magic were up against it today. Didn’t help their cause Banchero was throwing elite bricks all day.

Nah, he's OK. Dropped 37 on the Heat the other day. Whether he's worth the price they paid is another conversation entirely.

They haven't had their main four guys healthy and together all season though. You need at least 50-60 games from them building chemistry before you can start to form a considered opinion.

Has Kawhi destroyed any sense of legacy he could have had at the LA Clippers?

I dont really consider him much of anything right now. Not even in the top 50 players right now and single handidly destroyed a franchise moreso then any player in our lives.

Its a very understated part of the NBA in recent times.

Come on. If you want to blame someone, blame George. Went from a Top 3 MVP guy to a guy they gave away for nothing.

Either way they've been pretty relevant since he's been there and probably make the Finals if they have some luck with injury.

Kawhi on court is usually value for money, defensive mindset notwithstanding.

The off court stuff is the problem. Leaving aside leaving two championship teams, the alleged stuff with Uncles and stipulations can't be healthy for any team, that stuff bleeds from the top down. The consistent injuries probably don't help the perception either, fairly or unfairly.

It only hit me that OKC has the rights to swap its 1st rounders for the 4-8 LA Clippers..... If they dont make the finals then wow

Could end up with a top 3 pick and the Utah Jazz pick too
