Because I feel like they just got a, and we can debate on what level, somewhat coveted player here for a guy who was a COMPLETE dead end.

Nobody is winning with Chris and his contract.

Harden and this system is outright filthy. Move Russ into it and see what ya got this year and then move him if you have to. It’s better than trying to work with Chris and his compounding contract moving

indeed. Win now.

Kd is out.
Klay is out half the year.

Can boogie deal with harden in the pick and roll?

This is akin to some obscure Pac 12 team that is undeservedly ranked 3rd losing to Utah at 2AM and changing the entire landscape of the CFB landscape.

This type of shite can only happen in the NBA and CFB.

NFL fans screaming how awesome the NFL is is SO tragic.

PSA: We've already surpassed last years offseason thread by nearly 100 pages and we're less than 2 weeks into free agency.

I wish TD had the feature that you could see user post counts in a specific thread.

I think I have at least 450 in this thread.

You ever do the fantasy draft in 2k? That's like what we get next season. Almost the entire landscape is new pairings of stars unseen before on new teams. It's like a league reset next season. Never seen it to this level anywhere before in my life

I'd give that about 5 or 6 replies until it morphed into a full on boom call out thread and no discussion about teams not located in Houston.

Chris Broussard: “I have been told that Kawhi Leonard is leaning HEAVILY towards the Los Angeles Lakers. I’ve talked to some people close to the situation who have said Kawhi has talked to the Clippers on a call, they didn’t even get a meeting, and told them that they are out. It’s down to the Lakers and Toronto Raptors to what I’m being told. I don’t see him going back to Toronto.”
