I think OKC is targeting Donovan, but remember what happened the last time he was hired by an NBA team. He has obviously has more talent to work with in OKC than Orlando, so maybe that will be the deciding factor.
Other than PPG, what category is most impressive to lead the NBA? Rebounds is a big one. Blocks also has the hidden effect of altering shots. Assists is the other category most would consider and generally has more of a positive effect than only the actual assists. Another angle to the question is "If you could pick the league leader in any non-PPG category to start a team, which would it be?"

CP3 just can't get a big shot to fall in these playoffs. End of regulation, hit the fucking shot and go to SA 2-0. End of story. Blake Griffin is just not that player either. Lose the ball without getting off a shot in a most critical juncture of the game? Yikes. I feel for Clipper fans. I really do.
Griffin had a triple double but got tired in ot. It was 80 year old Tim Duncan who played 43 minutes.
its something about his game, i just dont like, but i dont know what it is. Like he doesnt have command in big moments, like a Parker or Rose.
at this point in his career, it's definitely got to be in his head that he simply can't get it done in crunch time he's a great player for the first 46 minutes, no doubt
I hope you're right. I heard that if Donovan leaves Florida is going to hire Anthony Grant. Gives LSU a better shot at beating the Gaytors.
