    I'd take Paul and Dennis, Trade D'Angelo for a 5 and a 3, and draft a PG.

    Via Heavy Sports:

    “They could make a push for Donte DiVincenzo from the Warriors, depending on what they do with him,” the GM told Heavy Sports NBA insider Sean Deveney. “He might command more than the tax MLE on the market, but he would be the right kind of guy, a shooter and ball-handler off the bench.”

    how many times is everyone going to try and team up Harden and Durant till the remember it didn’t work last time.

    which is a shame. That OKC team should have won a title at least once.

    I'm not sure we can say Harden and Durant together "didn't work"; the part that didn't work was Kyrie not wanting to take the vaccine and the Nets not letting him play the away games. That's what pissed off Harden and made him want out. On the court, Harden and KD have always been a great fit.

    Harden should honestly go back to Houston. It's abundantly clear that he'll never be the best player on a championship team or likely even the second best. He seemed to genuinely like living in Houston, so why not just go back there for one last big contract. He's like the 20th to 25th best player in the league and probably doesn't have all that much time left in the league (he's 33 now and not someone I see playing until he's 38). He should just enjoy himself.

    the nets probably win it all in 2021 if KD's foot is half an inch smaller

    Durant carrying the Nets in that series is his most impressive postseason performance to me, much more so than the FMVPs against those undermanned Cavs teams. I firmly believe that us, the Nets and the Nuggets were all better teams than that Bucks team if not for the injuries.

    yeah, bucks got extremely lucky that kyrie got hurt (and that KD's foot isn't a half inch smaller) or else there's zero chance they win that series. and that suns team probably had the easiest path to the finals in recent history considering every single one of the opponents they faced was dealing with injuries to star players

    but hey, that's sports. injuries are part of the game and it's up to the next man up to help his team win

    An expansion team in Vegas is definitely happening in the not so distant future. Adding Vegas and Seattle and then sending Minnesota or New Orleans to the East seems like a no-brainer. If we have 32 teams though I wonder if they just let one of the divisions have 6 teams instead of 5 or if they go to 4 divisions of 4.
