Knowing what we know now, would you still make the Russ trade?

Yep. All players have their strengths and weaknesses.

 

Yes and twice on a Sunday. Russ was our best player when James was batting multiple injuries during the stretch when the small ball was in full effect.

 

I was glad when we made the deal, and I still am.

 

Seriously, what is your point?

Of course no player is perfect. Stating the obvious adds nothing to the discussion.

 

That its okay to talk about their weaknesses. No need to be afraid or upset.

 

Is there a tweet you can't repost!?!?!? Mad skillz bro.

 

I guess you contribute so much more to CF.

You willing to put it to a vote?

 

.... I can't match your posting skillz.

 

Even Dwight Howard of all people got 3 years. such a shame. it will always be a dumb move. the rockets are stuck with what they are unfortunately

 

Point proven, thank you.

 

Have to admit without Brodie the LA game turned into a snooze fest.

The explosiveness just went down a notch.

 

Well this isn’t a full season so he might make it through healthy.

 

I wouldn't bet on it

 

Butler, CP3, and AD are not. Clearly. AD is fine at #2 behind LeBron.

Embiid and Simmons the jury is still out.

Giannis and Luka are in their mid and early 20s. Too early to tell.

And Dame? Lol.

 

How completely subjective.

So no one is championship caliber unless they have won a championship or under age of 30?

Skills, production and contention have no place in your world.

 

Russ is flawed as Fck but I’ll never question his motor. And when Harden lays a stinker in the playoffs Russ will be dunking on fools. Unlike fat CP3 who became a ghost.

 

I would have traded for Russ just for the simple fact that idk if Harden and Chris’ relationship would have improved. Seemed like they got tired of each other real quick. Or maybe Harden felt he had no help.

we already know what happened with Howard and Harden. I feel like bringing Melo was the start of the relationship going sour. Maybe Harden felt Chris wanted Melo at all cost and then the whole Melo thing happened.

we don’t really know exactly what happened. We can just speculate. But it’s clear since then they didn’t have the best of times. The whole team was so broken and didn’t play with energy and with any effort.

now adding that Chris didn’t play well at all. He was slow and his regular 2s weren’t going in.

we gotta add everything. I’m sure it was either Harden or Chris. Either we got Chris or Harden might have asked to be traded.

I would have liked having the three but they all get paid too much to have them all. Since I remember Chris liking a post about us getting Russ.
And I would have liked to have kept Chris. He was a great complementary player to Harden. And he is a great player. I liked him a lot when he was here. And I couldn’t believed it when we traded him

 

Man CP3 disappeared in the Warriors series last year until game 6.

 

I guess people will start realizing how horrific this trade was every offseason and trade deadline over the next three years, when we can make zero meaningful moves, due to a lack of picks and tradable contracts.
