And it wouldn’t be unreasonable to believe that the Clippers would be closer to a championship than they are now had they been patient and simply kept SGA and the draft picks that they gave up for Paul George.

I think that's right, but the thing about the Clippers is they weren't making that decision independently. Kawhi had a say in that, just like LeBron had a say in every move the Lakers made (hi and bye, Russell Westbrook) and the Bucks probably wouldn't have gone for Dame if they weren't worried about Giannis wanting out. This happens a lot. Patience runs up against impatience and the impatience wins. It's tough out there!
