    We went "all in" this year.

    Harden went "all in" at the buffet.

    Sad

    Seems like Harden's success kind of comes at the expense of other perimeter players (especially pg) and it kind of hamstrings the team when we are forced to have to start a guy like Beverley all because he fits better. I don't think Lawson's horrible year is just coincidence.

    Yup, Kahwi would not thrive here though. JB would find a way to mess up his talent.

    im in the trade harden camp, but i realize kawhi cant carry a team. all of last season's wins were cuz of harden. every. single. one. of them!

    kawhi would struggle in a straight-from-hell-abomination system like the rockets have
    and jb might give more minutes to brewer

    Kawhi is a great player, but whenever I hear him talk I cringe. The guy is boring as hell, and really I feel there is something a little off with him. Just from a personality stand point he can never be the face of the NBA.

    Not sure any super star can thrive on the system we got


    Kwahi would't be any better than Ariza

    Curry would turn to be Troy Daniel 2.0

    Durant would be Robert Covington 1.1

    D.Green would be injured or scared . .

    Somehow ,The only player who can sustain some success is Harden..

    Absolutely Yes. Elite defender. Elite offensive player. And the attitude...

    I was shock to see Kawhi leading the NBA in 3P% this year. Dude have one off season (if you call that off).

    Year___FG%__3P%
    2011-12 49% 38%
    2012-13 49% 37%
    2013-14 52% 38%
    2014-15 48% 35%
    2015-16 51% 49%​

    No thanks. I'd rather have a PF that plays with no power.

    Kawhi is more of a team player than Harden. That is all.

    I still do not understand why he has gotten fat but one thing for sure he was not hungry enough for the title this year!

    If we had a gym who was a good drafter, we could have had Kawhi alongside Harden

    Instead the fat geek who is a mediocre drafter took Mook
