If you went to be at a resonance hour last night you missed the league undergoing a monumental shift (I’m writing this now because I slept through it too, so don’t worry, you’re not alone). Kawhi Leonard chose the Los Angeles Clippers, AND the Clippers traded for Paul George. The Thunder got back a massive haul.
Free agent forward Kawhi Leonard will sign with the Los Angeles Clippers, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.

The Clippers are sending the Thunder four unprotected first-round picks, one protected first-round pick and two pick swaps, league sources tell ESPN. Those picks go to OKC with Gallinari and SGA.

In the end, Kawhi Leonard didn't want to construct a Super Team with the Lakers. He wanted a co-star across the Staples corridor with the Clippers, and made it clear to Steve Ballmer and Lawrence Frank: Get PG, and I'm coming.

In the aftermath, Danny Green, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and JaVale McGee signed with the Lakers.
It’s unclear if OKC will now shop Russell Westbrook, but some are guessing they will.
