and people think theyre trash csuse they didnt win
Just like chris paul or vince or tracy
Wouldnt go as far as saying trash

I get u have to win man , trust me i do

But why join a 73-9 core tho! Thats the problem

I woulda absolutely loved it if he went to like the celtics and competed to try to beat lebron. Thats not a short cut, that would be a true challenge. Now , its a cakewalk

i see absolutely nothing wrong with guys wanting to team up, and definitely nothing wrong with guys asking their team to go out and get help. getting more help or joining an already good team just allows you to last longer. nothing wrong with wanting to win as much as you can, and sticking around at a high level as much as you can.

Teamming up with other guys from scratch , i could live with

Going to a core that just went 73-9 without you and won a ring a year before , i cant accept that being ok in anyway looking at it from a basketball and competitors perspective

Why are you mad at what GS and MIA did, but not the Celtics? We did the same thing, but guys in the tail end of their primes instead of entering it.

Hell, the 04 Lakers did it too with GP and Malone, just they were old as shit at that point

but Miami wasn't the first team to do this
Boston traded for Allen and Garnett. It's not the same

Winning matters , thats all thst matters but depends HOW you win

In a way you guys are saying hypothetically, lebron going to the warriors would be okay , bc they would just win the next 10 rings and he will be judged as a winner. Where my point is that, he wouldnt be bc of HOW he went about it. Do u guys seen my point? Fuck

Harden was definitely a huge problem last year, but let's not be absurd. He's one of the best players in the NBA. Those don't grow on trees.
No they don't but his style of play is not conducive to championship contention. I don't care how great he is--his faults will always derail the team somehow.

His "faults" are not the problem. What the problem is, is that his best teammate might be Clint Capela

Mozgov is overpaid but he's ok

Luol deng is so cooked
Remember, after bazemore said no the lakers upped their offer to luol

Awful signing. And finally out of the starting lineup for ingram

Is the Thunder's roster really that much worse than the Rockets'?
 
Kind of a push to me

The best way to put it is, the players that the rockets have fit tremendously in the system they run.
Shooters like ariza eric gordon ryan anderson etc are living in a dream right now with this system and playing very well

Thunder run more of an inside out offense and play thru adams kanter or kick it out to shooters , but the problem is that andre robertson cant shoot for his life and oladipo isnt consistent enough yet. Thunder also have the youngest team in the league and who they have coming off the bench right now with kanter out is quite laughable if u look

Abrines
Lauvernge
semaj christon
Cameron Payne
Anthony morrow

Thats pretty gross, having waiters would be a blessing, he didnt get appreciated enough even tho he had a nice stint in okc

Kyrie is prolly the only acception , and some would still argue that those drafts were rigged and scripted for his return, especially that second time yall got the 1st overall when there was only like a 3% chance

Klove for wiggins was all lebron
Mozgov jr smith shump was lebron
"acception"
 
Also, only morons would argue that
