The Official Off-Season NBA Thread

Embiid and harden aint Shaq and Kobe. It's MVP Shaq and post prime, lazy, Phoenix Suns Shaq/Dennis rodman 'I need a few days to go party in Vegas real quick'

Normally EYE would throw in a lakers joke but you already in debt

 

[VARNELL HILL]

I've seen a lot of "Harden is going to be in a different role" or "Simmons just has to pass & defend".

When has either player shown a willingness to alter their play style?

I can't wait until people figure out that Ben Simmons is in fact....NOT Draymond Green

Good luck w/ him being some "defensive anchor" without a 7'2 beast protecting his basket.

Completely locked down by a Trae-Bogdan-Huerter perimeter trio.

One of the worst contracts in the league, and he’s got another one coming

Listen I’m probably the biggest Tobi guy but I can’t deny his shortcomings

Eye feel like with Harden he’s gonna be doing less creating and basically set up to score off C&S and cuts. If he’s able to get up 7+ 3s a game shooting over 38%, things MIGHT look different

Never ceases to amaze me the amount of people in here who don’t really know the sport, just running their mouths.

Again…it’s hard to not see the Suns winning it all this season.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Actually this is what you said…

Stirring the pot

Then you had lil Nicky co-signing

addict4sneakers was riding hard for his boy too. Crazy how times have changed.

This is definitely better than a guy with 5 rings. A lot of people repped that nonsense too.

Gotta remember winning is overrated around here

James St Pierre might actually be the perfect comparison for TMAC. Who said that? I can already hear someone saying “people forget Harden was the best player in the league for 3 years” in 2036.

 

[akajae]

Where does that say he is better?? WHERE??? Yall tried this the last time SMH.

I guess I missed the part about building a team for the modern NBA in that quote too lol you clarified after “unleashing” that hot take, I’ll give you that. But you started this Harden > Kobe, Kobe>Harden debate on niketalk lol directly or indirectly.

All this Harden slander
People forget Officer Jim used to be a bucket

 

[amitt5504]

This Jim slander coming from a certain collective you tryna deflect from this having Russell Westbrook as an option

 

[getback]

2nd half of the season gonna be interesting with all these takes. Receipts and back peddling should be fun.

I remember that time, if we dig some more it might get worse that same lil group wanted to believe Harden was better.

Ya'll got Russ 2.0 in Jim.

You'll also find people wanting to trade Lebron for Harden so Harden could lead Kuz, Lonzo and BI.

Lots of hidden treasures the deeper you dig.

I mean the squad that beat them hasn't gone anywhere

They definitely look like the prohibitive fav out West though

 

[datznasty]

I need him and Josh Giddey to go AT each other.

Oh I don't think its gonna work at all. But I can see the intent. People think Ben Simmons is good at basketball when he isn't. Ben Simmons sucks.

 

[VARNELL HILL]

A bit surprised he just openly admitted NYC's mandate only applying to home teams doesn't make any sense

Good. I've been saying this since day 1. Irving should always have been allowed to play

WCF: Suns/ Dubs
ECF: Bucks/ ???

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Good Morning.

Just checking in to see where we stand on the

A. Lukas > Greek The Freak
B. Lukas Best in the League

Claims.

@3god
@geno90221

You hold on to stuff quite a bit lol

You still hold on as hard to your take that the best of 2016 draft class is still only between Ingram and Simmons, and ignore Brown, Pascal etc.
