If Harden was still any good, he wouldn't have been a good fit for us due to his style of play.
Lillard is Lowry 2.0. Would be a good asset but not for what he's being paid. At this stage of his career, he should be making no more than 20M/yr
Damn boi yall are ruthless. Yall expecting these guys to be plug and play.
Right, I do remember a time where Miami added LeBron and Bosh and it took them a while to figure it out. I think those 3 started out somewhere around 9-8?
Yep just pointed this same thing out in the around the nba thread. A lot of knee jerk reactions on 5 game sample sizes for guys like Harden Dame and Beal, it takes time.
Dame for example, if he were here he would be running the entire show offensively basically. We would be spamming 2 man actions with him and Bam while Jimmy is slashing like Wade used to and spotting up as he’s clearly worked on his 3. We would at minimum have like 2 more wins and Dame would be in the MVP race.
Like you said too, you can’t make judgements on guys 5 games in and you also can’t compare what guys are doing with a certain coach and make assumptions Spo wouldn’t make them better.
Honestly think Dame is depressed, he does not look happy at all in Milwaukee. I think it’s several things, he saw his years of loyalty meant literally nothing to the Blazers as they wouldn’t listen to his requests. Then the Blazers were about to send him to Toronto so he panicked and accepted a deal to the Bucks when he was adamant on only wanting Miami. He’s not being used right in Milwaukee and he’s more of a decoy.
On top of all this he’s also going through a divorce, these guys are human too.
