Guess he'd rather golf and produce more Holey Moley episodes.

Much smarter coming off a season with injuries though

Also still young enough too that he'll be able to play the Bird/Kobe/Melo role in Paris during 2024 if he wants

Need 4 more players from the following pool:

Jarrett Allen (Cleveland Cavaliers); Eric Gordon (Houston Rockets); Jerami Grant (Detroit Pistons); Blake Griffin (Brooklyn Nets); Jrue Holiday (Milwaukee Bucks); DeAndre Jordan (Brooklyn Nets); Zach LaVine (Chicago Bulls); Julius Randle (New York Knicks); Duncan Robinson (Miami Heat); Mitchell Robinson (New York Knicks); Fred VanVleet (Toronto Raptors); John Wall (Houston Rockets); Zion Williamson (New Orleans Pelicans); Christian Wood (Houston Rockets); Trae Young (Atlanta Hawks);

Harrison Barnes (Sacramento Kings); Malcolm Brogdon (Indiana Pacers); Jaylen Brown (Boston Celtics); Jimmy Butler (Miami Heat); Mike Conley (Utah Jazz); DeMar DeRozan (San Antonio Spurs); Andre Drummond (Cleveland Cavaliers); Paul George (LA Clippers); Montrezl Harrell (Los Angeles Lakers); Joe Harris (Brooklyn Nets); Tobias Harris (Philadelphia 76ers); Gordon Hayward (Charlotte Hornets); Dwight Howard (Philadelphia 76ers); Brandon Ingram (New Orleans Pelicans); Kyle Kuzma (Los Angeles Lakers); Kawhi Leonard (LA Clippers); Brook Lopez (Milwaukee Bucks); Kevin Love (Cleveland Cavaliers); Kyle Lowry (Toronto Raptors); JaVale McGee (Cleveland Cavaliers); Khris Middleton (Milwaukee Bucks); Donovan Mitchell (Utah Jazz); Victor Oladipo (Houston Rockets); Chris Paul (Phoenix Suns); Mason Plumlee (Detroit Pistons); Myles Turner (Indiana Pacers); Kemba Walker (Boston Celtics); Russell Westbrook (Washington Wizards); and Derrick White (San Antonio Spurs).

I’d take Trae, LaVine, Ingram and Zion.
Turner, Mitchell and Leonard are hurt.
Jrue and Cp3 probably too tired. CP probably not playing now that harden is on the team.

I'll go Trae, Zion are the stewards for 2024, Joe Harris to be the shooting specialist and Plumlee to be the 12th guy on the team.

I like that. Would take Allen over Plumlee though.




He’s not coming now that Harden committed.

 

[SneakerProSr.]

Harden and KD out there recruiting

Jarrett Allen is a free agent, so I figured he opt-out for precaution.

Might be good for Harden. Doesn’t have to play much. With training team the whole time. Zero partying.

 

[picasso swerve]

Starter predictions?

Dame
Harden
KD
Dray
Bam


Thats an NBA championship 5 right there.

Who has the pic of Harden in the Nike USA crewneck from 2012?

Jim Harden keeps showing us why he is MY FAVORITE PLAYER.

Dame/Booker/Tatum/KD/Bam although that might be weak defensively.

Harden gets to be 6th man off the bench and take it easier than required.

If they want more defense in the starting lineup;
Dame/Booker/Kd/Dray/Bam

 

[Peep Game]

I really don’t get it man. Are you hurt or not? What kinda goofy **** is that?

I get loving to hoop but weren’t you hurt and playing on 1 leg? If he injures his hammy again he might miss extended time next year and I’d be really mad at that possibility if I was with the nets.

He’s extremely stubborn. He got accustomed to pretty much being an iron man, hardly every missing games and such. It also doesn’t help that a lot of his previous rosters were so Harden-centric that as soon as he’d sit, they’d terribly give up leads. Combine that with The Enabler (MDA), you have a guy that simply never wants to be off the court unless he 100% has to. That’s why going forward, the Nets should be concerned with him actually missing games, since he hardly ever has, along with Kyrie’s general psyche. Unless there’s some major changes, I don’t see this Nets team being like that first year Heatles team after missing out on the title, especially since I think all 3 of them were older than Bron/Bosh/Wade at that same point.

Random question, could Ben Simmons make a successful transition to a power forward, or is this just it right here?

First one aint too bad length wise. Basically 3 long 6’9 players. Might have trouble with bigger backcourts though. 2nd one seems better, though if Hardens gonna take it easy I woudnt have him off the bench, what kinda spark could he give. Booker makes more sense if you need quick off the bench firepower.
