Call in an army, too much snow here

Where? Not in the GTA....maybe north of the city.
In the last day I have been in Hamilton, Burlington, Oakville, Mississauga, Etobicoke, Milton, by the airport, 410, 400, 401 over to the Allen....very little snow anywhere but cold and blowing. Just took the dog for a walk and remembered what the beginning of frost bite feels like

Random @SecondSpectrum discovery - Kawhi Leonard has averaged more FTA per 100 touches (13.3) than James Harden (13.0).

I used to get pissed off when the plow came by and put a new 2 feet of snow in front of the drive. Now I just crank up the heavy duty snow blower and get to work.

That's per touch. Harden is on ball basically every play considering the play making he does, while Kawhi is largely a finisher who often (too often) doesn't touch the ball at all on some possessions.

Harden's FTr is a hair under 0.5 while Kawhi's is 0.4.

If I'm being honest I dont think Kawhi needs the ball a ton more at this stage of his career..to me he IS a finisher, not a creator or quarterback

Was gonna say.... a James Harden touch lasts at least 20 seconds. Even longer when he's out at the clubs after the games.

This is kind of cool: the ringer did an article tracing back each teams transaction logs to find the longest one still active on each team. Once a guy leaves without an asset coming back, his tree is "dead"

Without cheating, any guess to our longest active transaction tree?

Here's the longest one as an example, dating back to 1977

1. Seattle SuperSonics/Oklahoma City Thunder: June 10, 1977

Draft: Jack Sikma → Alton Lister → Gary Payton (as future pick) → Ray Allen → Jeff Green → Kendrick Perkins → Enes Kanter → Carmelo Anthony → Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot + Dennis Schröder

I would guess its something from the colangelo era.. maybe marco bellinelli or jermanie o-neal trade

Hmm..I have no idea, but the Chris bosh sign and trade turned into JV. Is that it?

[Ebonhawke]

*almost* able to tie Danny Green back to Damon Stoudamire

[Rudy Bargnani]

I’ll try again—-Calderon—Rudy gay—Vasquez—-OG/Powell

Nope, had it the first time:

T-22. Toronto Raptors: June 26, 2003
Draft: Chris Bosh → Jonas Valanciunas (as future pick)

This is a clean and uncluttered tree: one great big for a good-but-not-great big. More broadly, the current Raptors team owes much to its mid-2000s predecessors: Bosh begat Valanciunas, 2005 free-agent signee Jose Calderon begat OG Anunoby and Norman Powell (through a few intermittent links), and 2006 no. 1 pick Andrea Bargnani begat Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green (via Jakob Poeltl).

Colangelo looks at that write up and grins "see! Ujiri riding my coattails"

He would have done exactly the same thing. Find a new slant.
