I dunno, it's a great question.
Several factors:
1. How big are the actual fan-bases worldwide? Denver has some international appeal with Eastern European Jokic
2. You're spot-on with sub-city action
3. Ultimately I think the prize for the NBA is LeBron, and LeBron likely would MUCH rather play Denver than Kawhi
4. Denver has been badly in need of some love & attention, Clippers not so much.
then from just a pure basketball standpoint:
1. Clippers deserve whatever happens to them simply bc Marcus Morris??? Seems like obvious dead-weight, and a move they should pay the price (once again).
2. Return of Gary Harris
3. Denver is sneaky-cool with Porter Junior, nice move by their GM.
But I guess this has been decided, Denver. I didn't get to see it, but who was playing D on Kawhi & George. WOW! Guessing Harris and Jeremi? What a job!
