    I mean they could be a deadly team health depending. Keeping Mann is crazy. Does Zubiac play D? Seems like a terrible fit at C with JH because he's slow and can't jump.

    At the end of the day, Daryl Morey being able to get back anything in return for James Harden is probably creating something out of nothing. Prior to Ime Udoka coming on board with the Rockets, the Sixers were probably looking at losing Harden for NOTHING, or at best looking to leverage a sign-and-trade.

    I think that the draft compensation seems pretty reasonable if you're under the assumption that neither side wants to continue playing. Just look at what the Rockets got back for Russell Westbrook, and it's hard to think that Morey played this situation that poorly; they dealt with all the noise, the public war of words, and didn't get panicked into moving fast.

    Tucker is shorter than Harden. He must be 6'3 without shoes. :D

    Yeah, but he’s never without shoes.

    If this team has their big 3 healthy in the playoffs, they should be competitive. A lot of people assume Harden is a chemistry issue, but he has to know this is kind of it for his career if he doesn't do everything possible to make it work. This past playoffs he was maybe 1 more good game away from saving the team.

    Just way too much talent for the Clippers. Kawhi and PG being healthy on their own are a contending team. I almost feel sorry for a lot of the big names on the Clippers that have not won yet. I will be rooting for the Suns (KD needs one without Step), Clippers, or some of these vets to get a ring. As much as I despise the Warriors, CP3 deserves to get one.

    PG and Leonard go down in April, Harden takes them to the second round, wins a couple of games they shouldn't to establish expectations, then crashes and burns late in the series.

    Watch this thread turn into talking about Dwight's sexual preference. ;)

    Welp the Clippers just screwed themselves out of a championship. Hardheads are hard.

    I know bro is simple and down to Earth, but Kawhi rocking the exact same ****ing haircut for like 20 years is nuts. I'm not black, so I'm not even gonna pretend to know how difficult or easy his style is, but come on bro....ain't you at least a LITTLE curious to see yourself in another way?? You're a multimillionaire that could fix your **** in half a minute if it went sideways. That is actually wild to me that he's probably been running around with that hair since he was like 8 lol.

    The real question is how much can you keep the team afloat while Kawhi sits out for more than half the season.
