    Drastic difference in athleticism and execution between the 2.

    Harden is much more crisp, quicker and using a much more "game situational" technique with how he backpedals..

    Whereas isojoe is just dragging it to the best of his ability and seems less purposeful.

    Solid basketball-centric situational workout tho. I like it.

    So why hasn't Clutchfans started rooting for Kawhi to Houston 2019?

    It’s almost like one is in his late 30s and one is in his late 20s.

    While we'd love to have him, we're pretty sure he's going to want more than MLE.

    1. Ryno will be expiring after next offseason, letting go of him and Gordon plus a cap jump would be plenty

    2. Why can't it happen? There's rumors he wants to have a superteam. We fit that bill.

    Even if we dump Gordon and Ryan for expirings, we will still owe 110 for the remaining. I don't think you realize how much we're paying on new contracts. We're paying over 100MM just on Paul, Harden, Capela and Tucker. Plus you still have to reserve money slots to field a team.

    You'd have to trade Paul or Harden for a much smaller contracts and expirings to get max money available in 2019. So...that's why we are not discussing it.

    SnT? Pretty sure that’s how it would go down, or any move of significance for that matter.

    Trade Ryan and Ego and a slew of picks for Kawhi? I'm not sure why the Raptors would do that.

    There is talk Luol Deng might get stretched and waived and he lands here according to some NBA twitter guy. I don’t see why besides the fact that he’s a small forward. Dude hasn’t played in 2 years but who knows.

    EDIT: nevermind. Dude was hypothesizing Rockets

    What are we gonna do with Luol Deng? That's just gonna work out as well as Joe Johnson did!

    He hasn't been playing for them. I don't know what I'm supposed to do with him?
