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
Philly was miserable last year, so PGs numbers reflected that: PG had his most complete season ever 2 years ago and finally showed he was ready to carry and be the man in the playoffs. If embiid hadn't fallen apart a long with apparently all their team chemistry, they should have been playing and probably beating NY in this year's conference finals. As it was, they missed that mark by miles.
Anyway, Kawahi has been status quo for as long as he's been in LA, if he happens to be playing in a given year it's a surprise. Take PG over that any day, Kawahi hasn't added much except years to his game.
