**OFFICIAL 2019 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD**

[Nipsey3000]

Houston is making a mistake in making everyone available anyway. New pieces playing the same dumb basketball isn't gonna work either. Dantoni needs to go.

I mean, when is the last time you saw harden perform any offensive action without the basketball?

"Let's get some new pieces to stand around and watch harden dribble."

I'll PayPal 10 bucks to the first person to show harden come off a pin down screen, set a meaningful screen, cut to the basket or do anything worth a nickel on offense WITHOUT THE BALL during this playoff run

On another note that Mikey williams kid looks nice af right now. His body structure looks like hes much older than he really is i’d be shocked if he ends up being tall.

Kid is absolutely the goods. He's already well-known but he's about to blow up crazy the minute he starts high school later this year. SD already buzzin'.

Wow

**** can change so quick

Wow

What I dont understand is, teams would be lining up to trade for James Harden. So why is the possibility limited? If anything, I would say trading Capela or Paul would be more limited because there would be exponentially less suitors, who would pay exponentially less for their services.

I get that Houston probably has Harden as untouchable as anyone in th league, but the possibilities are there.

+1

I said it pages ago that the rockets should explore dealing harden if anyone at all

 

[frshstunna]

Capela on the Hawks actually works since Collins is more of a 4 and Capela can protect the rim

Hawks plan is to build thru the draft or save their money for a star if one ever wants to go there...doubt they would be interested in Capela with his contract, and they'll probly draft a C with one of their top 10 picks anyway

The fans down here want Klay cuz he cool with the GM

 

[HOU$TON]

Trading harden would literally be the dumbest move the rockets could make. Y’all gotta be joking

 

[Lizakers]

Can’t believe there’s actually a market for CP3

 

[frshstunna]

Glad its new management in Orlando...them old cats woulda had a CP deal done like yesterday

 

[dman14]

gordon hayward for cp0
trade a bad contract for another

Do you know how much Clint makes?

His contract wouldn't be stopping them from signing anyone.

I'm firing MDA then calling Phoenix for Booker and Ayton or Boston for Tatum and Brown. They might as well start completely over. Thinking a Harden lead team can win a chip was BS.

 

[frshstunna]

Never said it would...just that their in the business of cheap one year deals or big money to a star that wants it...Clint is neither of those

Harden for Lebby.

Nobody says no.

Neither is Kent Bazemore and he's on the team.

 

[Nipsey3000]

Harden for Lebby.

Nobody says no.

Agreed. Harden for lbj and Ingram or #4

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Harden for Lebby.

Nobody says no.

I am.

 

[frshstunna]

Bazemore, who was signed before current management and BEEN on the trading block? ....look up the Hawks moves since 2017 and get back to me if you think Capella fits with anything that they been doing (He doesnt)

Hawks had the opportunity to dump Bazemore multiple times and kept him on the roster. They are about to pay him 19Ms next year and they could have got off that money during the Trae Young deal.

The NBA salary floor is 91 million and even with Bazemore on the books the Hawks are 34 million short of the floor.

The Hawks are 3 years away from having to extend John Collins and by then the cap might be 130Ms and Capela will be an expiring.

Houston might ask for too much but there is nothing financial that is going to stop Hawks from getting him. His next 4 years are going to better than what they could get on the market and they literally have to spend the money.

Once again I never said acquiring Capela is messing up the Hawks finances or preventing the team from making moves...I said that he isnt the type of deal that they are looking for right now according to everything they say down here and how management been moving since they got in charge...It seems like u arguing a whole other point..so ima just say ok

 

[BIG FISH]

Hawks could’ve got off of Bazemore’s contract and got the extra pick from Dallas? I highly doubt that
