I thought this thread was going to be about the article where RJ said kawhi wasn't doing much more than he was when he played for SA and was wondering why he got traded.

Leonard was an easy sell, Engelland said. The Spurs acquired him in June 2011, and Engelland already knew from scouting him that his release point could use some refinement. Leonard had a tendency to bring the ball too far behind his head, and it reminded Engelland of the way Richard Jefferson shot the ball when he came to the Spurs in 2009. After working with Engelland for a season, and reconfiguring his release point, Jefferson shot a career-best 44 percent from 3-point range during the 2010-11 season.
Jefferson became the template for Leonard. Engelland started their collaboration by showing Leonard a series of photographs: some of Jefferson, some of Leonard. The similarities were striking. Jefferson had made the necessary adjustments to improve. It took little to convince Leonard that he could do the same.

Jefferson.
I read that bolded part as a diss on RJ, as in "if RJ could do that then it can't be that hard."
Wut ?
that ninja tbh
Credit that for being terrible enough to force the Spurs to replace him tbh.
