June 25th, recently, former NBA player Matt Barnes talked about the Thunder's championship in the "All The Smoke".

Barnes said: "This all comes from the George deal. I love George, but I remember Doug Rivers didn't want to send Alexander away and paid tribute to Doug because he expected Alexander to become a superstar. But we all know that Kawhi said that if George was not brought in, he might join the Lakers, and the Clippers didn't want this to happen."

In 2019, the Clippers sent Alexander + Gallinari + 4 unprotected first-round picks + 1 protected first-round pick + 2 first-round swaps, and 9 for 1 trade got George.
