Was Kawhi Leonard the worst thing to ever happen to the Los Angeles Clippers franchise? 
Kawhi Leonard’s legacy with the Los Angeles Clippers:
Demanded the front office trade for Paul George, forcing them to part with nearly every asset they had, including a young SGA
Missed 243 games in 7 seasons, equivalent to nearly 3 full seasons
2019–20: Blew a 3–1 lead in the Western Conference Semifinals
2020–21: Clippers reached the Western Conference Finals without him
2021–22: Missed the playoffs
2022–23: Eliminated in the first round and didn’t finish the series
2023–24: Eliminated in the first round
2024–25: Eliminated in the first round
2025–26: Missed the playoffs and got locked up by Draymond Green with the season on the line
Played just 35 playoff games
No championships
No personal Conference Finals appearances
Pushed the front office to continue retooling around him, eventually leading to the James Harden trade and even more draft capital being moved
Collected nearly $350 million in salary
Circumvented the salary cap
Cost the Clippers a further 5 first-round picks
Inflicted a $30 million fine on the franchise
Inflicted unpaid suspensions on ownership and front-office personnel
Personally fined $700,000
Had his uncle Dennis banned for life
Possibly the worst free-agent signing in NBA history.

I just read the statement Kawhi made in response to all of this. What a complete and utter Fing joke.
