Peanuts might be worth more than Dinwiddie, Dorian Finnie Smith, 2 future FRP, and 4 second rounders :lol:

Clippers cut 24 to 13 very easily.

Are you serious? Dort is a better defender than anyone on the Clippers.

Really wish the Clips could be fully healthy. Would have been a sick series

I mean this is the case of hindsight being 20/20, but if you get an NBA Finals MVP and have a chance to get Paul George in his prime you take it. I'm sure the Lakers don't regret giving up what they gave up for Anthony Davis.

Last I checked...none of Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, Julius Randle and Josh Hart are considered for the MVP award...lol

The advantages of buying someone when their value is low. Everyone was wrapping on Kyrie about a year ago.

DFS+Dinwiddie+1st for Kyrie has to be up there with the best value for a star trade in the history of the game.

ESPN gave it a D rating

Clippers trying to save face and make this a respectable loss.

I knew that response was coming, I'm talking about how they guarded him as a team. The physicality. They tried to beat up Luka like they did the other two series.

It was always with the belief Kawhi would be playoff kawhi. Dude looked great for 80% of the regular season and then disappeared.

At the time of the trades, I was getting flack for saying Shai was better than the young Lakers and was told Hart was better

I think a healthy Clippers team have a chance to win the title. They have enough talent to do so. It's not really that ridiculous.

But Dort plays even more physical than the Clippers. I mean, he isn't going to be easier for Luka at all.
