‘They pay Luke Kennard not you!’: Lakers center Montrezl Harrell reacts to Clippers signing shooter to 4-year, $64 million deal

Former Clippers center Montrezl Harrell made a passive-aggressive tweet reacting to the news of Luke Kennard’s Clippers extension.

The Clippers and Montrezl Harrell did not have the best endings to their time together. When the Clippers’ season ended in such a tragic fashion, Harrell was seen pointing fingers at Paul George and others. When the time came, the Clippers did not offer a viable contract to Trez and the Lakers managed to scoop him up.

As it turns out, Harrell is still keeping a close watch on things happening within the Clippers organization. When Woj reported about the Clippers offering a 4-year, $64 million extension to guard Luke Kennard, Trez had something to say about it.

The deal includes $56 million in guaranteed money, with a majority of the additional $8 million in incentives considered reachable, Mintz and Spahn say.

Montrezl Harrell reacts to news of Luke Kennard’s extension with laughing emojis

The Clippers signed their backup guard Luke Kennard a 4-year extension. The Clippers acquired Kennard on a draft-night trade. It is unusual for a team giving a role player a contract extension without the player even having played a single game for the team. It speaks to the Clippers’ fear of losing assets for nothing.

Montrezl Harrell reacted to the same thing with laughing emojis.

😂😂😂😂 OK!
