In July 2019 the Los Angeles Clippers traded Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, along with five first-round picks, two first-round pick swaps, and forward Danilo Gallinari, to the Oklahoma City Thunder for superstar Paul George. Several days earlier the Clippers had signed free-agent forward Kawhi Leonard. Reportedly, Leonard had made his signing with Los Angeles contingent on the team trading for George. In retrospect, the trade is seen as a huge win for the Thunder and a major blunder for the Clippers.
