2020-21 Around The NBA Thread

[Dadouv47]

Think Harden in Golden State is a real possibility and the best case scenario for us (more chances of our GSW pick to convey and probably the trade partner that will not help Houston to improve for this season with Rookie and future Minny pick).

A potential Harden trade is really good for our pick swap this year but not that much for the 2024-2026 picks...

Is there any new rumor about this?

Nah I was just speculating. Well Shams reported that Gs called for Harden.

With all their front office, coaching and player moves, the Knicks are the most "Kentucky" team. Thunder still in second rank with Miami but they've been passed. Knick staff or whisperers directed by staff will be coming, trying for SGA. May already be at it.

Not that they matter that much but Knicks might come after Mohammed, Diallo, Miller.

Maybe Presti needs a new faction. Looks like lower level Europe. Is Hennigan back to flying over there?

There and New Orleans. Might we see Gentry as an assistant coach in a year or two? If any of that faction are left? Go after Alexander Walker or others? Lonzo, Hayes, Hart?

Reddick as a mentor, cap sop, maybe future coach? Nah, too famous / potentially powerful to go that way for Presti.

They were talking about it on NBA radio on Sirius when I was driving to work. It sort of makes sense if you think about what GSW could offer them and the virtual necessity given the window with Curry and his age and Klay's injury.

Ya I’ve heard talk about it but not much in the way of credible rumors other than they called. It would crazy to see it happen.

I'm curious if they would consider offering Klay. Probably not but it would make sense if you think about it and would be a calculated risk worth taking for both teams given the severity of his injury. Give them Klay and Wiseman and it'd be hard to pass up.

Klay and John Wall's contract on the same team. That would be something. Surely they would try and use Wiggins, right? I think they would have to include the Minnesota pick if they use Klay.

That's what they said on NBA Radio, the Wiggins contract.

Interesting that so far all the reported teams are out East. Don't see any way the Bucks can put a package together that'd work, and doubt the Heat could either unless either the Rockets love Herro enough to see him as a centerpiece, or Bam becomes available which seems even more unlikely.

Riley wouldn’t cave on heat culture for lebron. I can’t see him doing it for harden. What a shame that the bucks mortgaged their future on Jrue Holiday.

well not good

[Dadouv47]

Well we have their pick the year after his contract expires which isn't bad

John Wall looked pretty agile last night.

A behind the back pass in transition to a player running to the basket is a pretty impressive pass.

[spearsy23]

The other behind the back he had was more impressive. Andre Miller might be his floor if he can play passable defense

[spearsy23]

Durant's balding head makes me feel old

[Old Man Game]

Durant looked really good out there. No discernible rust.

Best case scenario for us is that the Rockets take their time to find a trade partner, but Harden either sits out or goes half speed until then.

Also confirms the suspicion that Harden never preferred Wall over Russ.

Does Harden show up in the first game of the season when Dort is fixing to guard him?

[Balkman32]

If I am the Rockets I have to make this deal before the season starts. If Harden gets injured you could be left with nothing.
