you socialists have no idea how truly difficult it is to live on 40 million a year!!!

 

were you worrying about his groin, or just thinking about it??

 

So you’re saying there’s a chance...

 

I just realized that Harden has a 15% trade kicker. It would make zero sense for them to trade him unless they are getting an insane amount of young talent back.

 

This is epically sad for him with apparently his body not responding as hoped with the continuous 2 years of rehab now from the 3 injuries. Rockets seeing same thing as Lakers.

 

Wow, this speaks volumes. Really happy to see this.

 

with AD's new deal, does that mean giannis is off the table?

 

Kinda wrong he's been hooping.alot looks good his 3 pt.shhot

 

I thought Rockets won this trade. Westbrook would never work with Harden and Wall, despite going through crazy injuries, is still younger and a better fit than Westbrook. Harden apparently wanted Wall over Westbrook so you make that kind of trade just to keep him happy. I think Rockets are going to be a top four team in the West, still. If Cousins and Wall play anywhere close to All-Star level, they are going to be a tough team to beat. Christian Woods is an absolute animal as well.

 

Davis deal finalized. 5 years, 190 Million

 

Cousins tweeted this when the Wall trade broke:



And there was some buzz around Westbrook for Wall before the draft, so I feel like this has been in the works for a while (was also seeing on Twitter yesterday morning before the trade broke some reports of Westbrook being seen in DC).

Cousins and Wall were college teammates and apparently still good friends, so this may have been a big factor in why Cousins went to Houston.

So if I was Houston and stuck with Wall now, no reason to stir the pot and get rid of Cousins, especially when I don’t think Houston will end up playing for all that much. I would be very surprised if he ends up becoming available again. Seems more like a Dwight type deal than a typical non-guaranteed training camp contract.

 

Wall's game evolved around having a sixth gear in a gear filled with people with five gears. His game relied on speed as much as Usain's Bolts running race's did (and I feel this is only a mild exaggeration).

Look at Westbrook who has had at least two (I count three) significant injuries. I see the high motor but I don't see the blistering speed that Westbrook used to have, which is why we saw Westbrook getting frustrated, which is why we relaxed or cheered when Westbrook got the ball and would chuck a three or do a janky turnaround.

I feel Wall and Harden will be disappointing and feel for giving a way a draft pick and filling up cap space I would have kept a disgruntled Westbrook and rode the lightning. Wall and Harden are winner in 2k Gming of course where you can return from the attrition of an Achilles tear and not lose a step (or gear).

 

yeah, i'll be shocked if wall is as good westbrook. and adding another guy who cares as much about partying as winning can't be a great thing. i thought maybe after morey left, the franchise would stop kowtowing to harden's whims, but they're digging further in. guys: people don't like playing with him for a reason. and setting the organization up as his fiefdom is part of it.
