The Paul George trade keeps paying dividends, this time, it could be catastrophic for the entire league
In the summer of 2019, the LA Clippers found themselves backed into a corner. Kawhi Leonard, fresh off a championship run, reportedly made it clear that he wanted to join the Clippers only if they acquired Paul George as his co-star. With the franchise on the brink of landing a generational talent, LA felt compelled to meet his demands.
That pressure led them to strike a blockbuster deal with the Oklahoma City Thunder.
