    I have always liked some aspects of his game, but overall yeah, he's a bust if I've ever seen one. I just don't want him on this team, would not give up any of the rotation players to get him.

    lonzo basically hasn't improved since he entered the league. i'm very glad we don't have to decide on his contract. guys get overpaid coming off rookie deals, even if they don't look like they'll be stars. probably just due to sunk cost effects (we drafted him #2 overall! we traded AD for him!).

    similar to how we had to pay kuz about 30% more than he's worth--the fear of not being able to replace.

    Lonzo is terrible , I wouldn't trade Kuz for him and I'm not the biggest Kuz supporter out there

    We'll need Kuz once we trade Harrell, KCP and THT for Beal. ;)

    honestly, if we got beal for that, you'd see silver pull a stern/cp3 on us. which, just like the first time, would probably just force washington to trade him for even less to another big market team, completely defeating the purpose of the veto.

    HAVE I MENTIONED HOW STUPID THAT WAS AND HOW MAD IT STILL MAKES ME?

    aside from not wanting cp3 to go to the lakers after cuban and other owners cried about it, it's pretty obvious stern made sure NO took a lesser deal so that the hornets would have a better chance of getting the #1 pick. he wanted to make the franchise more attractive to potential buyers

    His brother looks like he's better, already. But I want no part of that family and pops can keep his a** 500 miles away from Staples.

    Based on lack of improvements and where he was taken, Zo has been a huge bust. Only players I'd give up for him is Kostas and McKinnie.

    Nope. Cook is phenomenal for chemistry purposes. Bron and AD love him. The Balls often rub people the wrong way :ADeyeshift:

    Rockets are 7-3 since the Harden trade and have won 6 in a row. Looks like Oladipo/Wall might work out after all

    part of me feels like it's a honeymoon that will wear off, but for those who said harden had nobody to play with, maybe he just didn't let anyone else play.

    If they do well for the rest of the season, it will certainly put a ton of blame on Harden. It will have to make him look long and hard at his career and question his methods.

    he'll never do that. the guy people should be questioning most is morey, tbh. he committed full bore to hardenball and the glorification thereof, imo, in an attempt to boost his own profile (GENIUS!). instead, he may have gotten a whole less than the sum of its parts and basically tore an organization down from within. then he walked to a ready-made contender.

    Didn’t Kobe say that Harden’s style was great for regular season wins and seeding, but would never work in the playoffs?

    You’re welcome.

    he'll get into the top 10 for sure but i can't see him getting into the top 5 unless he manages to play at a high level into his late 30s

    Denver looks a little weaker without Torrey Craig and Jerami Grant in there. They may not be the 2nd best West team. Is it LAC ? UTA?
