In the summer of 2019, the Los Angeles Clippers made a high-stakes gamble by acquiring Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, resulting in a cost of 10 first-round picks, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and a $30 million fine due to salary-cap violations. The team’s aspirations led to only one Western Conference Finals appearance, with Leonard’s tenure marred by injuries and George’s eventual departure without a championship. This decision, once seen as transformative, now reflects a painful reckoning for the franchise. Ultimately, the Clippers are left to confront the consequences of their all-in strategy without any Finals appearances to show for it.
