“Honestly, I don’t know if James Harden fits anywhere — like any team,” Scout No. 3 said via phone. “And I don’t know how this fit is going to be. Maybe it’ll work out when the Clippers are injured and they have him playing instead of Kawhi. But for me, in the last couple of years watching James, I don’t think he has the same finishing ability.

But All-Star guard Zach LaVine says it wasn’t some team meeting, not in the sense of how he defines it. “A team meeting is when guys collectively call themselves in and talk about things,” LaVine told Yahoo Sports recently. “We didn’t have a team meeting, I think it’s a basketball conversation.”
