No worries, LeBron has tricked a large portion of the Laker fanbase. I'm happy to discuss if you are civil...

Agreed. Right now, I feel sorry for Whi. But I'm curious, how did you feel for Whi when Russ joined the Clippers? 99% of 'experts' said Russ was washed but he looked stellar alongside Leonard and I even read someplace both he and PG were getting the best looks of their career. They are going to have to stagger Russ & Harden for this bogus trade to look halfway decent.

Harden's an expiring making 35M. PJ is pretty much washed and still making over 10M the next two years. How much was Harden getting this past offseason on a 1 year deal? I don't think he would have gotten even 40M.
They take on 30M of "dead money" for two first rounders and a pick swap. RoCo and KJ are decent rotation players, specially for the money.
I think this also puts them in a prime position to trade Tobi and some of those picks for a better player.

You are forgetting Batum, both he and RoCo are sorely missed already in Clipperland. KM Jr is a project, he has limitations but if you can utilize his strengths he has something. Youth and athleticism is very useful for the reg season grind! I'm on PJ bucket watch, I'll take the under on 1.5 field goals per game. I think PJ has some utility against bigger, slower Centers/Forwards but they are a dime a dozen in the modern NBA. He gets blown by when he presses up and his 'famous' corner 3 has left the building. If he can snare 3 offensive boards a game its a win at this point LoL

Personally, I think Harden and his iso-ball are much more likely to hurt the Clippers offense than help it....
