[AEA18]

Rockets guard James Harden has apparently had his jersey lifted to the rafters of a Houston strip club because of his lavish tipping,according to “Mal,” a friend of rapper Joe Budden, and co-host of the Joe Budden Podcast. Watch hosts Budden, Mal, and “Rory” discuss the visit to an unnamed gentlemen’s club with the All-NBA superstar, starting at the 21:14 mark of the podcast.

Wolves already regretting signing Teague lol?

Teague gotta be like I'll sit on this bag on the bench, sure why not

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

We still got NTers who still think he's a 6th man after averaging 29 on the second best team in the East.

They got like salt in their heart and flowing in their veins. I pray for them

 

[ill steelo]

@nelson999 couldn't wait to get rid of him. Said he's a 6th man at best. Meanwhile Cousins continued to lead them to 30 win seasons.

i vividly recall.

and like addict4sneakers said, some dudes STILL want him off the bench

 

[Maximus Meridius]

james jones as VP of basketball operations in phx right now is just wild

He must the best person of all time. Lebron gave the hook up from Miami to Cleveland now this.

His contract isnt terrible so im sure they wouldnt have a hard time trading him if push comes to shove.

Height bias man. Came around awhile ago. No way can Jimmy or BGH be first options but Zeke be a sixth man

 

[hardens beard]

I still say IT is best suited as a 6th man

I still say IT is best suited as a 6th man

if thats the case so does kyrie. they are the same player..one was drafted first...one was drafted last. you get the same productivity from both though so if u think IT is a sixth man u also have to consider kyrie one as well but u wont because you been brainwashed by the media that kyrie is the "new thing".

I need reasons, B

 

[nick.]

There's not a single backup PG in the league better than Kyle Lowry

Edit: I saw that edit miggy

 

[100027]

I have a reason... His defense.

 

[noblekane]

clipeers and spurs have absolutely **** to trade for kyrie and the wolves not wanting to move wiggins in a trade can kick rocks

i really dont think jackson bledsoe chandler is too much to trade for kyrie. chandler is on his last legs.

then again a kyrie booker backcourt makes no sense

lol actually there is.

Bro you gotta chill fam breathe

 

[Maximus Meridius]

In todays NBA IT is just fine where he's at. If this was 2002 when you could be physical and knock dudes around he would be better as a 6th man but today? He good.

 

[hardens beard]

I have a reason... His defense.

Out of the 86 results for DRPM (Defensive Real Plus Minus) among point guards on ESPN, Thomas is ranked 86th. That means he has virtually no impact on team defensive performance. That is unbelievable. He has a -4.42 for DRPM.


While playing next to Bradley, Crowder and Horford.

 

[miggyme1]

Bro you gotta chill fam breathe

nah mane God sent me here to let u ninjas know the real. U cant call IT a sixth man and not kyrie. its like saying a green apple isnt an apple because it not red.

 

[noblekane]

miggy gon mig

 

[addict4sneakers]

I have a reason... His defense.

His poor defense didn't hold the team back from attainable success. No one from Washington exceeded their season averages against Boston. Rondo wasn't beating IT with straight line drives, he was playing well doing Rondo things.

I'll continue to say, defense from a PG is the least important position in today's PNR. And even still, only CP3 and Beverly can be difference makers. Still minuscule in the grand scheme of things.

Thank you! u can tell this guy has league pass. he studies the game. Thank you bruh.

Then Kyrie and Dame have to be judged exactly the same. Both should be 6th men.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

That's deep right there.

 

[Bert.]

actually agree

he's way too small, I wanna be a fan of his and he had a great season although he won't replicate it. wish dude was 3-4 inches bigger

 

[JD617]

29 a game on crazy high efficiency. How many better scorers are there in the league?

Look at his volume x efficiency combo.

Kyrie & Lillard are poor defenders too, should they be 6th men?
