I'm really sorry for you Raps fans. I hoped he'd return to Toronto too (mainly because of the East/West balance and because I hate superteams), but hey, that trade for him was more than worth it and I think you'll be fine with guys like Siakam and Anunoby.

I'm just glad he didn't end up with the Lakers. A) I've always disliked them (I was a huge NBA fan in the early 00s and they dominated ... and they destroyed my hope of an Iverson championship) and B) I just hate those thunderbuddy superteams. Happy for the Clippers, it's about time they have some success and be the #1 in LA. I take Leonard/George over Lebron/AD in a heartbeat, especially defensively ... add Beverley and that's a nightmare for the oppositions offense. Then you got Williams, Harrell, Shamet, Zubac, Harkless ... that's a really solid group of role players. Losing Gilgeous-Alexander surely stings, but it's worth it. Clippers are going to do a lot of damage next season.
