They aren’t winning anything with Durant, Fat Harden, and Joe Harris. Best case scenario is probably that Kyrie comes back, the stars show they can gel on the court, and they build some momentum for next year, and round out the rotation with a couple of vets who want a chance at a title (especially a big).
Totally agree. Who cares about the future, chance is to win now. No chance any of those future draft picks end up being half as good as Durant or Harden alone.
It is a good deal for the Nets regardless. They still are a deep team. This is their shot.
I'm not at all a Pacers fan, but also intrigued by this move. LeVert still has some upside.jvdesigns2002 said:
Cleveland pick is by way of Bucks, probably better off with early 2nd than a very late first due to guaranteed contracts
Yep. Gotta take a chance at this when you can. Otherwise what the heck are you doing?Kiddnets said:
Rockets didn't get Cleveland's 2022 #1. They got Bucks 2022 #1. Cleveland owned it due to a prior trade where Cavs traded George Hill for Bucks 2022 #1.
I understand the me-first labels for Kyrie and Harden, but KD? Guy seems like a stand up fella to me.
Take your lap. You beat me to it. Was coming to give you props! Fortunately, I picked up a few NAW RCs on the market on the cheap in the last couple weeks.jvdesigns2002 said:
Of course, no Zion (Covid list) last night (or Bledsoe, or Lonzo). SO damn frustrating! 
Harden is definitely going to be like the ex-wife that gets in fantastic shape after the divorce.
LOL at Durant putting his faith in Kyrie in the first place. "Who could have seen this coming?"Leeroy Jenkins said:
Huh? They lost their #3-5 guys for the season in Dinwiddie, LeVert and Allen. Dinwiddie and Allen were starters and LeVert had a chance to be a Lou Williams type player off the bench. They are definitely shallow now, especially in the post. They will need to sign or trade for some depth to be a legit title contender.Leeroy Jenkins said:
I don't see him that way on the court, just off of it. He has left his current situations twice to try and find greener pastures elsewhere plus had several instances of being thin skinned on twitter. I really think he is just immature. Dude came into the league at like 20 years old and has been a top 10 player his whole career. He has basically lived his entire adult life in a different world than the rest of us mere mortals.I understand the me-first labels for Kyrie and Harden, but KD?

Well, I'd rather not have to kill someone to pick up Beal.wikkidpissah said:
Yep, this Laker fan is not loving it. It's even a bigger hit to the Bucks, the Cs, the Heat as they'll have to deal with this monstrosity earlier in the playoffs.
I had read that it was a partial tear and sometimes that some players have elected to not have surgery for a partial tear and return sooner. Looks like he had the surgery since then though, so I'm guessing he's done.
yeah he definitely had the surgery. i had initially heard that even with just a partial tear, the recovery timetable from surgery is the same as a full tear anyway.
nope - they're probably the only completely healthy team in hoops and are 25mil over the cap in presenting that stellar squad. and anteaternintendo's supermax contract aint kicked in yet
Was wondering if the trade was still on, but it sounds like pacers get another 2nd and some cash added to the deal to keep everything on.
Somebody up thread said I act like he’s a D-leaguer and it’s not that, it’s just that he’s so obviously talented and it doesn’t seem like he’s working to get better. Something like that shot from an NBA player is embarrassing, period.
It would be amazing to have a FBG contest, on national TV, and see what % of FBGs could beat Ben Simmons in a 3-pt contest.
Wow.
Is there anybody else in the NBA who gets more critiqued then Ben when he shoots a jumper? Do people not realize air balls happen all the time?
Exactly. Capella can't handle himself when Ben does something bad.... when he has a good game it's "well... well... he still can't do this"
