Bulls are meh. I like Sacramento’s and the Knicks

Karl Anthony Towns has lost 7 people in his family to covid 19 including his mom. Holy moly if I was him and someone made a dumb covid statement I’d prolly beat them to death

[wdoupis]

He is probably a great puncher but something tells me he won't be good defending

[shel311]

Pelicans got more national TV games than the Bucks, Nets, Clippers, and Heat.


NBA clearly didn't learn from last seasons Pelicans debacle.

I also like that Kyrie doesn’t like it as if he wouldn’t be immediately shipped out if it meant being replaced by a better player in Harden

see ya Kyrie (if its gonna happen).

[shel311]

I think KD wants to play with Kyrie, and I imagine he has enough pull in the org to call that one off.


Also, why in the world would Houston want Kyrie?

Heat being brought up in the Harden discussions.

Shut that down Riles, shut that down.

[DRiccio21]

There aren’t many options for the Heat to get it done salary wise

A deal that includes Iggy, Kelly O along w Nunn, Duncan Robinson, Kz and Silva gets it done

If Houston is crazy enough to deal Harden for that return I’m all in. If they need to include Herro and Duncan I’m probably still interested but it’s not a slam dunk for me.

If Butler thinks he can work w Harden I don’t think it fucks up the squad as bad as a lot of people think it will.

For all his perceived deficiencies, Harden is an all timer offensive player in his prime, if he’s an option you can’t pass on it IMO

[Cnasty]

Harden isn’t a “Heat guy” if you will.

Asking for failure.

But if we are only giving up that first package I’m willing to risk it.

[shel311]

I'd guess Houston doesn't start conversations if Bam isn't the first piece. Same with Philly and Simmons.

Harden in Miami would be the ultimate train wreck. I hope it happens.

[nick]

So my buddy msgd a bunch of fantasy ball sites about info converting players last year to financial value cause our draft will be auction and lost keepers / picks that’s how we’re deciding the amount each person gets.

Point of this story is Harden is worth $100 and the closest person is I think AD at $70. He’s unreal.

[shel311]

Harden and AD, 2 dudes who will never lead a team to a title.

AD has proven he can be an epic #2. Harden can put up monster numbers but you're not winning with him as your best player. The evidence on him in 4th quarters of big playoff games, I've seen enough to feel comfortable in saying he just ain't that dude

[DRiccio21]

I legit don’t think Harden would be a trainwreck in miami.

I also don’t think we’re gonna find out. There is certainly no shot in hell they are dealing Bam

[wdoupis]

Yeah, no chance Houston would do it without Bam when it is pretty known they can get Simmons.

[nick]

If Miami can get Harden for Herro, you’ll have a new Hero in town

[shel311]

Luka got that quarantine look going:

[ReignOnU]

...and he'll still drop triple doubles and highlight film passes.

Marc Spears saying all the wrong things today when he says he believes Toronto was top destination if he didn’t resign
