Via The Athletic:
“Sam, I began to hear in the days leading up to Kawhi’s commitment in the early morning hours of July 6 that he informed the Clippers that he would sign with them — if they were able to acquire a second star. Russell Westbrook and Paul George became early targets, I was told, but Leonard identified George as the player to get. And once the Clippers received word that Leonard was choosing them, they did whatever they could to ensure his commitment stuck.”
The Thunder must have made it known that they were going to move the two stars. They successfully did so and turned over a new chapter in OKC.
A chapter that’s going to start out by watching the Rockets and Clippers far exceed anything going on with the Thunder next season.
