Sucks that he's gone but it definitely didn't sound like Toronto was in the running at all.

Clip city chip city! Raptors probably won't even make the playoffs next year. Gasol.... gross. Oh well watching less Raptor games next year will be a good thing.

Well considering Paul George wasn't traded until 30 mins ago..

Holy cow! what a trade!

The Los Angeles Clippers have reportedly acquired Paul George from the Oklahoma City Thunder in exchange for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Danilo Gallinari, four unprotected first-round picks, one protected first-round pick and two pick swaps, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

and the Clippers could have gotten him for free if he didnt' stupidly extend with OKC.

According to The Athletic‘s Shams Charania, George’s departure comes on the heels of reported discontent between George and his co-star in Oklahoma City, Russell Westbrook.

Kinda cruel that he basically dragged this on and left the Raps with no options free agency wise. They're definitely in that possibility of going from Champions to out of the playoff next year.


I would expect that all of the love for him will turn into anger at him by game 20 of next year if the Raps get off to a rough spot.


I doubt that he was ever seriously looking at resigning with the Raps.

I thought the whole point of Green waiting was signing with Kawhi

How was it cruel? It was not a given OKC would trade George. and judging by that return they didn't really want to trade him.

Well Van Vleet better have 10 kids next year. For all those who watched Lowry over the years, he is not the answer. After thinking about it yhey'll still make the playoffs because the East is terrible. OG is a huge wildcard though. I like him!

I wonder if there will be some tampering accusations on the George trade.

It's too bad the Raps couldn't do a sign and trade with the Clips. Alexander back to Toronto would have been awesome!

Kawhi was a free agent. I assume he can talk to anyone.

Yeah I'm ok with it being the Clips.. really sucks, but I get it, can't fault a dude with wanting to go home. Lakers would've been unforgiveable.. thanks for the memories and the title Kawhi

EDIT: And I will forever wonder if the city of Toronto's creepy obsessive tracking of him during this UFA process helped cause this (but could've happened anyway). Insecure stalking is a turn-off, man..

Maybe it was just to not sign with the Raptors if Kawhi is leaving.

Personally I'm just as invested in next season.

Team is going to have a chip on their shoulder and will be out there with something to prove.

People forget the Raps get OG back next season. I could see.him having a breakout season.

NBA Finals of Toronto vs. Clippers please. It would be so juicy.

Also I stole this from Twitter:


The Thunder have had Kevin Durant, James Harden, Paul George and Russell Westbrook. They have less championships than the Toronto Raptors.
