12 Funniest Tweets After the Clippers Shook the NBA and Brought in Kawhi Leonard and Paul George
By Thomas Carannante

Many NBA fans are still trying to recover from the trauma of waking up on Saturday morning to discover the Los Angeles Clippers signed Kawhi Leonard and pulled off a blockbuster trade to acquire Paul George from the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The news dropped overnight when Twitter didn't have its top material, so after a few hours, here's how the internet managed to find the humor in all the NBA madness.
Kawhi going to the Clippers is such a slap in the face to the Lakers, who were the supposed frontrunners for him. What in the world is LeBron James thinking?

Luckily the Lakers rebounded and made some nice moves as they were clearly prepared for this moment, which now makes the below statement a bit more debatable...though still true.

But the front office was definitely shocked for at least a moment.

As for the Thunder, well, it's just Russell Westbrook now. Paul George is done after two years.

Don't expect this to go down well between Westbrook and the front office. Another trade could be coming soon after Russ loses it.

George reportedly requested the trade to make this all happen after he was recruited by Leonard, and Russ looks to be officially done on Instagram.
