And also it goes back to the point and I mentioned this a couple times
of
What the start of this whole kawhi leonard clippers era has caused the clippers, right?
They have lost 10 first round picks because of kawhi leonard wanting to trade for paul george and come to the clippers, right?
10 first
They never made a finals
They went to one western conference finals and he wasn't in that series because he tore his acl
And since that series
They didn't win a series. They've been in the playoffs multiple times
But they have never won a series since that 2021 run. So even with kawhi leonard on the floor, they weren't
Getting deep into the playoffs
They weren't making these deep playoff runs
He didn't get to a finals the reason he came to a lot to los angeles
The reason they acquired kawhi leonard at the peak of his powers with paul george was to bring a title to la
And so now he's leaving
Basically taking 10 first round picks if you include the okc trade
They never made the finals. They are basically screwed for the next five years, I would say
And he's not even on the team anymore
And like so if you look back at this kawhi leonard era, it is an absolute disaster
It is one of the biggest
Would you not say that?
Yeah, I don't know. Yeah epic failure. Okay. Yeah, it's one of the biggest because
basically
I think it's one of the biggest disasters in history let alone the clippers. Yes, like if we go back. Yeah grossly agreeing with you
It's making sure
um
So yeah, listen it his era here and when he returns to the clippers, right?
He when he returns to play for the raptors against the clippers on november 2nd

I'm calling calci right now. I'm calling whoever polymarket playing
Buddy, hell no koala today playing that game against the clippers. He might not make the trip
You think they they delay it until after that and so?
It's november 2nd, it's not like it's it's you know middle of january. It's like the third game of the season
Oh, all right, you don't think he's playing buddy
Buddy, let's just say okay if kawhi leonard is playing
He is going to get the likes of booze that we probably haven't seen since lebron returned to cleveland
But he's gonna be booing my memory

You're gonna be doing that jersey you holding up because you ain't gonna be booing me in person you crazy
What not even he's not trying to make the trip at all
Bro, kawhi leonard don't need this in his life, bro
They only play twice a year
And we already know only once into a dome
Right fans ain't gonna come up to you with that smoke the players ain't got no problem with you
It's just the fans on the internet in the stadium. Okay, so why don't play why don't play then?
Because I don't need to I don't need that from them. I y'all finna boo me. Nah, bruh. You finna boo the raptors
Oh, man
They probably will even if kawhi leonard's not in that lineup, they'll still boo they'll still
And it won't you won't know you just think they booing the opposing team kawhi leonard ain't playing. Are you crazy, man?
Theatrics, he doesn't want to get you. No get back
Okay, have you not met this you met kawhi? Yeah. Yeah you what makes you think because he loves basketball
I know if he's healthy like this dude wants to play
He 1000% loves basketball, I would guarantee you he 1000% loves the organization
What he's not gonna do is subject himself to the type of uh screams
And disrespect that will come his way running out of that tunnel. So he ain't doing that. I'm calling it right now
