  • Kawhi only signed with the Clippers because of PG, so its only a small/moderate loss for them, mostly due to injuries. If they had stayed healthy it would be an okay trade for them. That’s also assuming SGA develops the same, which is far from guaranteed as a clear #2/#3 on a team trying to contend instead of a development-focused team like OKC has been the last few years.

    For OKC, this was obviously a huge win. We got an all star player who will be hitting his prime right as we are ready to start contending, plus a bunch if picks to help surround him with talent. Just SGA and Jdub is a win, even if none of the other picks pan out.

    TLDR: The trade was a win-win, with the Thunder getting a huge win and the Clippers getting a small win that didn’t quite pay out due to injury.
