NBA Season is Returning This Year!!!!!!!

Amick: Harden has "struggled to mix with other stars," wouldn't work with Nets
The Athletic’s Sam Amick does not think James Harden would have success in Brooklyn, but there’s another franchise that could make sense for the former MVP

It remains to be seen whether the Brooklyn Nets will acquire James Harden, but The Athletic’s Sam Amick has serious doubts about whether a Big Three of Harden, Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving would be successful.
“I could be on the wrong side of history on this one . . . but I’m cynical,” Amick said on Reiter Than You. “It’s one ball. I’ve watched Harden play the way he has the last couple years. I know how much he wants to play that way.”
Harden, 31, was NBA MVP in 2018. An eight-time All-Star, he led the league in scoring three seasons in a row, averaging between 30.4 and 36.1 points per game during that stretch. The Rockets, however, haven’t had much to show for it in terms of playoff success, advancing past the conference semifinals just once in Harden’s eight seasons in Houston.
“I don’t care who you want to blame, and we all know [Chris Paul’s] personality, but Chris didn’t want to play with you anymore,” Amick said. “And then honestly, I know Russ has denied this, but the noise and the vibe about the Russ-James thing, just from a basketball standpoint, Russ had one year of this and by all accounts wants to kind of go back to playing how he played before Houston. That is a track record. And if you go back to Dwight Harden before then, you’ve struggled to mix with other stars. I know these guys are your buddies, but I don’t know. Russell Westbrook was your buddy, too, and it didn’t work.”

If Harden does not reunite with Durant, Amick would at least like to see Harden reunite with the franchise that drafted him third overall in 2009.
“I decided last night I want [Thunder GM] Sam Presti to take all those picks and go get James Harden back and have an Oklahoma City reunion,” Amick said. “I think that’s what should happen.”

13M per year is great for KCP. It's just the years. I wish they could have done a 2 year, 2nd year team option, first year $15-$18M to still have cap room for next year but we couldn't afford to lose him. He might be even better trade bait. Klutch got him paid so who cares what team he's on. I can see a bigger deal happening with KCP and Kuzma.

I know that Lakers were trying to keep cap space open for next year to sign a max guy but you can't hope for next year when the season starts in 1 month. If Bogdan is as good as some say he is, winning multiple chips overseas, maybe he's the third guy we need. KCP & Kuzma for Bogdan and each year Mitch gotta be on his grind and find role players to fill the gaps.
 
Impressive how you typed all that while cupping Rob Pelinkas balls you honkified bitch you. Bron shoulda left you niggas in the gutter where he found you.
Man

when u told that old bastid to eat a dick I almost fuccing lost it
I think his old timers kicked in and he forgot I don't troll KT anymore or not give Bron his props.

Once the Lakers dump Kuz for the euro cac he will be happy.
 
Pacers Interested In Sign-And-Trade For Bogdan Bogdanovic
NOV 21, 2020 10:31 PM

The Indiana Pacers have shown interest in Bogdan Bogdanovic, who remains a restricted free agent after a proposed deal with the Milwaukee Bucks has fallen through.
The Sacramento Kings are interested in facilitating a sign-and-trade involving Bogdanovic. The Pacers previously pursued a sign-and-trade for Gordon Hayward before he signed with the Charlotte Hornets.
The Pacers offered Myles Turner as part of a sign-and-trade for Hayward, but it is not clear if they would offer a similar package to the Kings for Bogdanovic.
The Atlanta Hawks can sign Bogdanovic outright and are willing to match his four-year, $72 million asking price, but it is not clear if the Kings would match.
 


4 million a year for 5 points a game?

They really must not know that I’m out year ready to shoot the J!
