**OFFICIAL 2019 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD**

[P C H]

In thinking about it now, the Rockets approach to basketball doesn't take into account the human element of people into it. Despite it's efficiency and effectiveness and PPP it generates, it matters little if people aren't happy / empowered while playing that style of play.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

nah. But for real. James Harden and Cp3 having disputes...based on the way they play isn’t a big issue to me.

Cp3 about to turn 35, that contract and being asked to carry the weight he does is more of an issue with the rockets than whatever perceived “chemistry” or “cancer” issues that they try to push.

Read the article bro . They don't like each other

 

[amitt5504]

Can the sixers do some kinda sign and trade when Tobias walks and jimmy forces his way out? All they need is a playmaker like cp3

Keep that negativity to your own squad

Philly could really use cp3.

He gets bad flack for playing with harden. Everytime he ran the offense when harden was out it was and looked good

Nope no we dont. We good

 

[vood99]

No one likes CP0. From Blake, DJ to now Harden.

Any teammate ever said anything good about him?

David West maybe? He played for several years with a much younger CP3 though.

A young CP3 probably feared that David West would smack fire out of him so he acted respectfully

Steve tried to told u.

 

[g-time]

Hold up. What AR say?

He said something along the lines of never being around a team where the system wasn’t designed to get other players involved. And how the way they play is for him (Harden) to do the things he does and that that’s a very hard thing to do in the playoffs. It’s was kind of a shot at Harden and D’Antoni. They said players went to the coaching staff asking to change it up and get more players involved and it was implied D’Antoni didn’t want to because he didn’t want to upset James. D’Antoni didn’t want to become the next McHale and get fired because he wasn’t happy.

 

[Bend_The_Knee]

$44 million when he turns 36!?






Whoever trades for him better have Houston take a good chunk of that.

 

[P C H]

Like no matter how much PPP Harden ISO's and step backs generate, if you're a First Ballot HoF'er it gets tough being relegated to watching that, especially if it hasn't paid off.

Houston didn't account for this, and instead of controlling this and modifying the offense, they went in the other direction and bent the entire org to Harden and you literally saw this manifest when CP3 walked out of the postgame presser.

Combine this w/CP3's natural grading attitude and disposition, and boom.

 

[MVP]

He wasn't lying

You hit the nail on the head on all 3 issues. His contract is by far the worst of all though.

Andrew Wiggins for Chris Paul

Who says no, Ryen?

Andrew Wiggins for Chris Paul

Chris Paul for all of his ******** is still a productive player.

Wiggins is the worst full time starter in the NBA and he doesn’t like basketball

 

[vood99]

Salaries work and it would be interesting to see if a change of scenery could rejuvenate Wiggins' career. You'll think he can handle D'Antoni's high MPG though and will he really be motivated?

Don’t no nba player in his right mind that is a legit player wanna be in that ****. That system is pure foolishness on all accounts.

 

[MVP]

NBA goin dummy right now

 

[vood99]

Agreed.

 

[alchemist iq]

Andrew Wiggins is as useless as Wesley snipes helping someone file taxes.

I think he might be closer to 38 when he undoubtedly takes his PO.

 

[ill steelo]

Would rather roll the dice on two of Sekou/Cam/Hayes than trade up for Culver.

 

[kingjay718]

I know it’s just smoke but God no.

 

[geno90221]

Andrew Wiggins is just a dark skinned Gerald Green

 

[casper90403]

this thread is flying. For every page i read, 3 more pop up!

1. Ryan Hollins makes my blood boil. He made it boil when he played, and he continues as an "analyst." Dude is poo trash. Hated that he would work the pre and post game for the Clippers this season to fill in

2. Funny to see @buc em call people out and say someone is wrong. Come on bro. You're batting like .127 with NBA and NFL predictions. You finally came to your senses with the Bucs and for once, you criticized them this off season. Come on man.

3. I love you Celtics fans, but you guys are looking kind of funny. You couldnt envision where the C's are currently at a couple of seasons ago. A couple of seasons ago, you guys were looking like the future! I was on board. And then Ainge held on to too many assets and you guys are falling. I know as a fan, its hard to admit. But bro chachos, its panic time for the C's. You guys had the top 2 locked up in the East for years but now, grasping to get home court. Facts fellas. Better hope Ainge doesnt panic and give Rozier too big of a bag. Should have got rid of Jaylen's overrated *** when you had the chance. Never thought highly of him.

4. As a Clipper fan, we never get too excited when people start talking about so and so coming to us. I actually thought Kawhi was ours, and then game 7 against Philly happen. And then the Bucks choked a 2-0 lead. Then it got bleak. I'm just happy to be involved with names. Love our current roster, and if thats what i have to ride with, so be it. It beats having CP3 and Blake's contracts for the next 4 years. No thanks.

5. Go ahead and cook MVP . Its been a rough, what, 7 years? Talk your ****. I'm hoping you guys do something dumb and sign Kemba or Jimmy Buckets instead of going the route of building solid guys around the big 2. I will stay being on Lebron's train. F the Lakers if you didnt have him though

6. Harrison Barnes is 27?!?!?! Got damn.

I'm ready for the rumors to fly and signing period to get here.
