well realistically, do you think AD goes to LA without Bron there having this better owner/better market? sole reason he's there is Bron, as is half their roster
Imagine the assets we would have if we didn’t cheap out at every turn. We could have had Oubre,Dillon Brooks, and other 1st round pick assets that we traded to avoid the luxury tax.
if refs are to give him harden treatment he wouldn't be half the player he is remember nba changing rules 2-3 years in a row to stop harden?
Harden’s led the league in FTA’s 6 years in a row and 7 out of the the last 8. This year he has 135 more attempts than 2nd place Giannis. Harden has 705 attempts (1st place) this year compared to Lebron’s 338 (20th place).
LeBron wouldn't do **** with our small ball either. He got AD as a pick n roll partner. If you give Harden AD the Rockets would have the same record as the Lakers. Not that I'm discrediting Brodie cuz he a baller but you need a big in the lineup man!
And LeBron fell into their lap, they did nothing to deserve him. And they still sucked before LBJ tampered AD to get there.
LeBron is a much more athletic rim finisher than Harden where he doesn't need the lob threat to have defenders not fully commit to him to get clean looks. LeBron is like Westbrook where pure athleticism allows him to score in the paint.
