The Official NBA Season Thread: SFA Prevails

[Maximus Meridius]

I honestly don’t quite understand what his was vision now at this point Honestly, feels like he wanted to go to Houston this summer because he loves the city but it was also going to be the biggest long term bag.

When that didn’t pan out, he said “Ok, let me take the biggest short term bag” which was opting in. He realizes that to secure his next last “big” deal he PROBABLY needs to win a title, get to the Finals or at least have a strong playoff run.

I am guessing he thought there was more probability of that in LA and quite honestly, that city might fit his lifestyle more

Him opting in and requesting a trade to the Clippers has more to do with money and his financial future to me. And hey man, maximize the chance to make as much as possible at the end of your career

Ain't no vision. He never took winning serious so now he washed up just collecting and living the lifestyle.

Having Russ and Harden at this stage is hilarious.

Biggest winner with the harden trade :
Kawhi’s load management legacy

 

[HOU$TON]

Clippers would’ve been foolish to not give that up for an all-nba caliber guard.

Top 4 seed on the way

Cam Thomas is better than Jordan Poole.

 

[ill steelo]

Harden, the 2 stars, Mann & Zu is a really really good 5.

Retained Powell to keep some punch off the bench, keep russ out of the starting & closing lineups.

I like it a lot.

 

[Coupé It]

The Clippers are really Southern California’s team.

1st team all looter

If I'm a Sixers fan I'm just happy Harden is no longer linked to the team whatsoever.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Said it a few weeks ago, but he obviously wants to try to replicate that role given the team he wanted to go to.

He coulda stayed in Philly with the league MVP and did that. He wanted Houston but they passed.

OKC has their own pick, Clippers and Rockets' picks in 2026.

Cam Thomas is better than Jordan Poole.

Cam Thomas > Ant

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Presti is hilarious bruv and they have yet another pick swap with the clippers

Dawg

Not having to close with Russ is the big win.

Team has enough firepower now to battle through their inevitable injury issues too.

 

[finessence]

Philly won that

hopefully Westbrook accepts this role

He’s been fine so far and hasn’t been trying too hard surprisingly

Same way the clippers fans feel about Marcus Morris

 

[Coupé It]

Covington really went full circle. I think he’s still on that contract Philly gave him years ago.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Covington, batum, Morris and tucker all seem to be on their last legs

but tucker was their starter and at least went through camp with nurse and the team

If they’re all washed I’d rather keep tucker

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Kawhi - Riverside
PG - Palmdale
Westbrick - Lawndale/Long Beach
Harden - Artesia

They really tryna win one for L.A. county and the Inland Empire

[Cashflow]

I’m amazed at how y’all still talk yourselves up into believing in James Harden at this point.

He is who he is.

I get what you saying but all those guys are on expiring this year. Tucker still had 2 years now he off the books

This is all a plan for either a bigger move this season or next

Tucker was good on defense but it was literally 4v5 with him on offense

Only thing well miss from him is hustle rebounds and guarding jokic/giannis at times

sixers finally have the most depth they ever had in embiids tenure
