Building a team, Kawhi Leonard or James Harden?

[TheMilkyBarKid]

I just remembered games 3 and 4 of the 2012 Finals where OKC only lost to Miami by 6 points and in both games James Harden shot 2-10 from the field.

Yet OKC fans have to continually watch clowns like Bill Simmons try to shit on OKC for trading Harden away.

It's no coincidence that in the 2012 Finals, the one game that Harden took less than 10 shots (only 6, actually), OKC won. The same shit we see in Houston in the playoffs with him struggling to shoot 40% from the field, chucking up too many 3s, playing for the whistle too much, and playing shit D, we all got to see that in OKC as well.

Cry me a river bitch.

Kawhi for me. I can't have a team where Sefolosha is dropping 28 on me.

[SHABBA]

Kawhi.

Harden's a fanchise player. Leonard's a role player that had a great Finals series.

Kawhi already has 2 finals series better than Hardens

LOL @ Hardon being a franchise player hes at best a mediocre 2nd option

Durant looked like a beta 2nd option in this year's playoffs. Shut down by Tony Allen. Pretty obvious that Westbrook was the best Thunder player.

Durant putting up 30/9/4/2/1 on 57% TS is him getting shut down and playing like a beta? That's some GOAT-caliber shit right there.

Outplayed by his sidekick throughout the playoffs.

I don't get it...

Durant IS the sidekick.

All that means is that Westbrook is a monster. The way you're describing it you'd think Durant had a series putting up 18ppg while Westbrook put up 27ppg.

Kawhi..but when tim and manu retire, the stats of kawhi will increase ( plus elite defense ) and this will not even be a question. Plus t

[Anaximandro1]

Kawhi

He already has elite defensive and rebounding skills.

Most importantly, he is a sponge, absorbs everything and works extremely hard. He never shows emotion and handles pressure very well.

Both are ideally 3rd options but Kawhi has a higher ceiling and plays on both ends
give me kawhi

"Ideally 3rd option". First team all-NBA.

Harden can carry a lottery team into the playoffs but is useless once he gets there.

Kawhi can turn a good playoff team into a champion.

[Lebronxrings]

believe it or not, I would choose harden. Kawhi is a product of the spurs system.
