You won't see that money SDV. Or he'll make you play 1 on 1 (seeing Pinata play basketball ) and make some usual bogus claim

Don't forget Beverley as well. Three solid guard defenders that will have Harden crying all game

What does it matter? Same old formula: Harden gets his monster numbers in the regular season, then just shut down everyone else during the playoffs because he cant win a series by himself.

Also, Harden probably will have to defend either PG or Kawhi, and that won't help his gas tank.


Where did you come up this stupid statement? Our best defenders would defend their best player when they have the ball.

If PG has the ball Tucker will defend, if the ball switches to Kawhi then Tucker will switch and defend him.

Rockets have been perfecting the switch defense for a few years now.

clips are gonna have a hell of a time scoring against that CC defense with the lack of playmaking and ballhandling that they have. CC d is gonna shut them down relatively easily.

Here is how Windhorst explains it: First, Durant initially balked at being traded for Russell straight up, multiple sources said. He didn't think it was a fair deal, and in this case, the Warriors had to not just satisfy the Nets, but also Durant. Leverage was applied by the player, and Golden State had to include a first-round pick before Durant would agree to sign off. The Warriors begrudgingly gave it up and did so with a heavy condition: If the pick falls within the top 20 next year, they don't have to send it, and instead will only give Brooklyn a second-round pick ... in six years. It's one of the most unusual pick protections the NBA has seen recently.

I read that. What a bizarre situation. KD was concerned about the vanity but we all know about it anyways.

Yea, it seems like he didn't want others to think he was only worth a DLo

Even though it's not really a full on trade per se either

The Warriors getting Russell in a sign and trade is a big haul in itself

What if they both touch the ball on the same possession? Does PJ defend all 5 guys at once?

If Tucker starts a possession on PG, the Clips can give the ball to Kawhi.

Easy, then he just switches to Kawhi.

Speaking of the Rockets...

Morey is trying to trade for Westbrook.


Where, exactly, they find a sucker to take CP3 is another matter.

Westbrook and Harden together? The Rox 3rd scorer would average maybe 5 shots per game.

I have strong doubts CP3 is involved in the trade.
