    Good news then on the Eagle. Must be someone he has been in proximity to.

    Harden had Covid back in June before he got to the bubble. It’s very unlikely he would get infected again.

    This is always scary. Is this a Jones Fracture? That's the fracture that had Durant out a few seasons back for a loooong time. It's tricky since there is very little blood flow to that spot. I had it. I still have a screw. It still hurts.

    Westbrook never wanted out of his team's. He's a hustler

    yeah, westbrook wanted out of houston because it was a crappy organization, not because they weren't winning.

    hard to tell because reporters obviously fed info from all sides, but it seems that both harden and westbrook wanted out, and my guess is it was mostly about the owner (but partly about how much they'd let harden's persona basically dominate all operations). harden knows he needs to win a title to wash off the stink, and westbrook just has an idea about how he wants to play and doesn't really care about results (which are largely out of his control).

    we'll never know the full story, but my sense is that the two each decided to get out at the same time.

    Very short sample size but this is why I said DeMar would have been a very good option for the Lakers. He's become a very good playmaker and is still one of the best SG's in the game. His three point shot looks very improved although I believe he will average out around 37%. We got Schroder but this version of DeRozan is a beast. He's one of the best at getting to the FT line and doesn't turn the ball over many times. Averaging 8 assists per game with 1.5 turnovers.

    For Danny Green and Kuz heck yeah I wanted DeRozan! Too bad the Spurs weren’t interested. But DeRozan sure seemed to be. Who knows, maybe in the summer we can see? DeRozan becomes a FA right?

    yeah, he's a FA. i don't know if we'll be super interested (will depend on several factors), but i could see a S&T possibility there.

    I think Russ would have stayed if Harden left first. It seems, if in fact, he wanted out it was due to Harden.

    It wouldn't be fair if we got DeRozan next year ahah
