Montrezl Harrell was at his house playing video games when got an alert from ESPN which said the Los Angeles Clippers landed both Kawhi Leonard and Paul George.
After he read the alert, Harrell said “it's over.”
The Clippers won 48 games last season without having an All-Star on the roster. Now, LAC has two of the best players in the world. So you can imagine just how lethal the Clippers are going to be on both sides of the ball with Leonard and George in the mix.
“I was just like, ‘It's over.' We got a great team,” Harrell said on ESPN's The Jump. “I think the time that we're gonna spend in training camp over in Hawaii, it gets us time to gel and just be around one another.”
For the first time in franchise history, the Clippers are legitimate title contenders with Kawhi Leonard and Paul George leading the charge. Both superstars are from California.
The Clippers have good depth, but they will ultimately go as far as Leonard and George can guide them. Leonard averaged 26.6 points, 7.3 rebounds and 3.3 assists for the Toronto Raptors last season. He shot 49.6 percent from the field, 37.1 percent from beyond the arc and 85.4 percent from the free-throw line.
George, meanwhile, put up 28.0 points, 8.2 rebounds and 4.1 assists in 2018-19 on the Oklahoma City Thunder while shooting 43.8 percent from the floor, 38.6 percent from the 3-point line and 83.9 percent from the charity stripe.
As they did last season, Montrezl Harrell and Lou Williams will anchor the Clippers' bench. It's going to be a lot of fun watching LAC play next season.
