If the Clippers take him in exchange, which I have my doubts on, you run and not walk to get that deal done.
He's still better than THJ and it's frankly not close IMO.
THJ is also bad on defense and always has been. At least KP has been good there before last year.
THJ is a better shooter but KP is an overall better scorer.
Again take the contract value out of it. Now the injury concern is valid. But I still take the better player. If we are concerned about injuries, we probably aren't trying to sign Kawhi.
