    Kawahi such an albatross, Clips completely hamstrung with his contract eating up enormous space when he can’t be counted on to be healthy. Ever. They were fools for letting George go over Kawahi.

    2-year deal is smart for clips with Harden; he showed some tread still left on his tires last season but in another 2 years he might finally agree to 6th man money and give clips flexibility to move on a new marquee player.

      I mean, PG isn’t doing much better. last season he averaged 16.2 ppg through 41 games, his lowest scoring avg since 2012 (30+ games played threshold)

      last season kawhi played 37 games and averaged 21.7. in the prior season Kawhi played 68 games

      it was a hard choice to make but I don’t see how PG would be much better in place of Kawhi
