Inside a gym hosting some of Southern California's top teenagers, George had a chance to introduce himself. Instead, he left remembering someone else: a junior from Artesia High.
I just—I'd never seen something like that. He was so explosive and bouncy... I paid attention to who James Harden was.
[Harden] just asked me questions about the team, about the guys, about what they like, what they don't, you know, just all the different things a natural point [guard] would definitely ask.
Harden was never going to make the Clippers perfect. They made the trade anyway because, after four years of searching for the ideal complementary point guard next to George and Kawhi Leonard, the Clippers thought he could give them their best shot at a title in the George-Leonard era.
