I agree that they also have a lot to lose, which is why I don't imagine they'd go too hard after it, but you ahve to understand that while yes, they're screwed if we completely revoke the AD trade, they're also kinda screwed if Kawhi doesn't make his decision today. Cause they lose their max slot if he doesn't, and there's no way they're getting him to take a pay cut, and with so few players left on the market what choice do they have? We've been talking about how they're questionable as a playoff team with AD/Lebron/Kawhi + G Leaguers, what are they going to do with just Lebron/AD + G Leaguers, with Kawhi in a Clippers uniform?
Again, I don't think it will actually end up making a difference. I'm pretty sure that if Pelinka picks up the phone to ask Griff to delay the trade, Griff just says no and hangs up, and any attempt for Pelinka to change that will not help him further. But I just wouldn't be surprised if we got a leak in a week or two saying that Pelinka did make that call, or at least seriously contemplate it.
