Kawhi's GM Skills certainly are taking a hit right now.

He forced the Clippers to take Paul George to "win".  For this series alone was Paul George really that more valuable then SGA / Gallinari?  No. Then you add in the future value of SGA + five first rounders + 2 swaps that could well be lottery pick swaps.   The Clippers would have been much better staying with their current team to start the year, and then make moves with the first rounders to finish their roster as the deadline came.

Kawhi the GM would have butchered the Raptors even more.  [/B]  If people remember he had told Masai to trade for George and Westbrook.   I know a key feature of the Raptors / Thunder trade would have been Siakam, but since the Raptors were over the cap they would have needed to add about $60M in salaries going the other way -- it was speculated that Lowry would have been one of the other pieces going the other way to match salaries.

Thankfully Masai did not fully trust that Kawhi would have stayed even with the trade being completed and did not want to move Siakam (even though he floundered this year).
