    So I live in Tualatin now. I've driven by the practice facility so many times. I've thought something similar, but really I'd just get thrown out or arrested.

    Interesting. I assumed OG Anunoby was our only hope... (because it sounds like Obi-wan Kenobi. Get it? Yeah, I'll see myself out...)

    I guess it depends on what you think is too much.

    I think a lottery pick, or an established player is too much value for someone that very well might just go to LA after next season.

    The proof will eventually be in the pudding, but you have to admit KP is doing a damn good job of at least drumming up interest for PG.

    With all the signs that he's moving to LA, the fact that he's getting all this trade discussion/these offers means he's doing something right.

    That was 7 years ago as a lanky 20-year old coming off the bench. He had never been a starting SG and has filled out and bulked up since then. I don't think he has the handle or the quickness to plays SG at this point in his career. SF is definitely his strongest position, by far, followed by stretch 4 - which he hates playing.

    Of the two, I think Kawhi is much better suited to playing the 2, but again it's not his BEST position.

    I don't think there'd be much difference for Leonard playing the 2 as opposed to the 3. Both can be combined into a "wing" position, with essentially 100% overlap in the skillset. George can continue defending small forwards and Leonard has no problem with any type of perimeter player.

    Thanks for correcting me. My typing skills and spelling aren't the greatest.
