Kawhi is MDJ's kind of player: old, experienced, in the brink of retirement, but still productive (e.g. Al Horford, Chris Paul, Draymond). Difference is, Kawhi is still on another level. They could use his talents to somehow improve this roster and restrutcture it. Jimmy is 36 with an ACL injury, it's highly possible he won't come back as the same player he was before.

• As for the Clippers, this would only happen if Kawhi requested a trade. Don't expect much from his value as an old, injury prone (ik he played 65 plus games this year but that doesn't negate the fact he is still one), possibly regressing franchise player. They get picks and a fresh start Podz who could blossom for them given the fact that Clippers have a knack on developing young players
