Summer of KL signing. Clips had 2 max contracts and lots of draft picks.

In an alternative timeline, KL signs with Clips and they bring on another max player. Clips get to see SGA blossom into an allstar next to KL. They build a young core around the 2 max and star rook.

Instead, 5 picks and SGA for PG and no GM would say trade SGA for PG straight up now. Then this Harden fiasco on top of it.

Clips have a 1-2 season window, then it’s a decade of wasteland.

Horrible decisions to chase aging all stars. I blame KL. He gutted the team and destroyed its future with his demands.
