He's looking like he never left. That is a potential NBA championship team.

It's good to have Durant back. Makes the league much more fun.
"A while back,'' Cardinal said, "I took a picture of the standings and texted it to Love, just to bust his chops,'' Cardinal said. "He sent me a picture back of a snowdrift.''

If I'm Nets manager I wouldn't make a trade for Harden tbh. Their team is set to fight for everything.

Love what Wiseman is doing so far. He needs to slow down thought.

Dude can defend multiple positions.
He has the mobility...

Warriors game thread is absolute gold. Majority of their fans have turned on Wiggins. Many of them are the same ones that said things at the trade deadline like "Wiggins will play much better for the Warriors because of our superior culture and coaching". Very satisfying to be right.

Seeing Wiseman mobility to defend multiple positions and that stretch of him knocking down a three and then long two's made me think about the non sense coming from him about not wanting to play with KAT. And we with so many problems in the frountcourt.

PS: Still love the Edwards pick and i believe in him.

Some of their fans needed a dose of reality.

mercgold3,

Your thoughts on Wiggins?

If I recall, you said you'd rather kept him than make the deal Rosas did.

My opinion about Wiggins didn't change lol
He sucks badly. I liked the idea of getting rid of him but not for the return we got.

And i believe that we could have done much better. Especially after seeing a few teams go for a tanking route this off-season (OKC, Pistons)

Wiggins will look better but yea, I have given up on him. Maybe he would be solid in a the perfect system but there is no "unlocking". Again people were drolling over his off-season workout videos and it's the same thing we always see. He has enough talent and some skill to be a serviceable player but you can't hitch your horse to him.
