Probably. But I really wish he would stay in OKC and they find a way to get rid of Melo. Russ and PG make an interesting duo and I like Adams with them. But Melo ruins any team he joins and that is even worse alongside someone like Russ. That was a terrible move.



Predicted that Westbrook will never pass second round after Durant left him, what a fool i was. He will never pass first.

Both him and Melo are delusional ,one dimensional, low IQ chuckers.
George is B level star and will never be mitaken for a best player on contender but he can be solid second option on great team, probably best suited for 3rd best player on great team, if he can accept that role .
In reality he will go to Lakers and chuck his way into 35-47 seasons for next 2,3 years before they move him or get some actual star.


Westbrook is a flawed star, but he plays soooo hard on both ends all the time that I love him.

Melo is a bum. I wouldn’t give him the MLE.

By comparison, Harden has changed his game enough and bought into a system where he facilitates to others more. For that, he is off my hate list but his lack of defense means I’m still not a fan. Melo is the worst of all sides of Harden.

Simmons has to find a way how to contribute, they might try to push pace.

thats not a given for Rozier. He is still a young guy, and not even a full-time starter this entire year. its not like 6-15 is a great shooting night. He could easily do that on the road.

so Rozier 18/3/7 on 7-15 shooting, playing well on the road. I am guessing you dont still believe Philly in 7 anymore?


Philly , Covington in particular flat out choked.
btw Rozier was what ? 2-8 for 3 ?
I have to admit his ability to not turn ball over at all is impressive. Still have zero trust in him as a player apart from Stevens.

Harden hides his defense by being one of most gifted, productive offensive players in history. His offensive true shooting percentage ,offensive rating and offensive win share are epic.

On other side Westbrook just plays hard. But simply empty head. Simply low IQ chucker who only cares about his stat padding.

Melo in nba is superstar in every sense of that word except as basketball player.

Chokers of the decade... by far.

No wonder the Wizards wanted them in the first round. Everyone knows they are just fake contenders like Washington.

Boogie is a talented player but I really don’t think the Pelicans should go overboard to bring him back. I’m not sure how well he fits and his baggage isn’t worth figuring it out.

But how do the Pelicans get past GS or Houston? If they can talk Boogie into a short contract it might be worth the experiment.

They would need to clear some space and let Cousins walk or figure out a sign and trade but I would love to see PG in New Orleans with AD and Holiday.

Watching this Utah game and I got to say that I’m pretty impressed with how easy Exum is able to get to the rim. I’m surprised with his defense on Harden as well. He’s a guy I wouldn’t mind targeting in the off-season to see how he does in a larger role

Would be pretty funny to end up with both Exum and Gordon on the Magic. Even funnier would be if we signed Exum this offseason and didn't bring Gordon back - many fans (myself included) wanted Exum at #4.

I'd be up for bringing him here. He'd probably be a decent price with still some upside potential.

I feel like this is said every year though. This Raptors squad just falls apart in the playoffs.

About time for the Raptors to make moves in the offseason, They need to break up their team. After getting swept by the Cavs, The Raptors are "We are the South"

Charles Barkley on TNT just put Lebron as 7th best player all time. I think Lebron is clearly top 3 best of all time. Certain people seem to have a hard time ranking Lebron at or near the top when Lebron is still playing. This has happened in the past with all time greats while they are still playing and not retired yet. Things will change when Lebron retires and the World will miss him.

Yeah honestly if you just look at that trade in a vacuum and don't factor in what it took for us to get him it was actually really good value. No way Ibaka could get Toronto a first and a rotational/borderline starter at this point especially with the contract he just signed. && with how bad Powell has become I think its safe to say we got the better player of the two as well.

Ibaka man.... true age of that dude could be 38. What a shi** show of a team in Toronto in general. Even if you ignore Oladipo as asset lost, Ibaka is still horrific player to trade for.
Happy to see 76ers fighting back.

yeah.. it sucks so.much we gave up Vic and Sabonis for him... but hey we managed to fleece TOR for a starter and a 1st. That's actually not bad especially since Ibaka still was in danger of.bolting from us.

How bad Ibaka looks almost makes the original trade feel worse.. wtf happened.. with Hennigan going back to OKC afterwards, The NBA might need to look into collusion on that one

Wow! Did Hood really not sub in for Bron at the end of the game because he was mad he was taken out of the SL? Glad we never traded for this bum. I wanted us to get him too.
