Can't wait to watch this implode

You might be to busy watching jerry lin in the G league

The weird thing is that the Cavaliers made the best out of this trade that involves Dipo and Harden.

Rockets fans, or really anyone, quick question:

If you're Houston, would you rather have Oladipo or LeVert?

I would've thought LeVert was the play, but maybe Oladipo is more of a sure-thing and/or the age timeline better matches?

Oladipo and Exum are expirings

That's worse imo. Levert is locked in for 3 years on a decent deal. You could loose oladipo this summer.

The Rockets owner is broke. Expiring contracts expire next year. 3 year deals expires in 3 years.

This

His business is bleeding money and they aren’t winning anything this year so basically cleared the decks and got some picks

Levert is a bum, I like allen but centers are easy replacable in this league.

Even if the nets stink in three years they still are in new york and they could atract some free agents so who cares.
If i was a nets fan I will be thrilled.

Oh boy people already under rating just how much KD and Harden want to play together. If those two are healthy in the PO it's over. There two guys genuinely respect each other, and will sacrifice for each other.

Hate that it was BRK, but I loved those OKC teams, and want this to succeed so badly for these two guys.

LakersSoul · Post #248 » by **LakersSoul** » Wed Jan 13, 2021 9:39 pm

Why didn’t Houston just keep Levert and Allen? Did Oladipo agree to an extension?

lol comparing it to that KG/PP Nets team. Both those guys were way over the hill at that point. Harden is still a walking bucket and KD last night looked MVP like. Nets are dangerous but they have to figure out the Kyrie situation. That trio is just too much firepower.

Kyrie is not even top 15...NOT even top 20

Lebron
Curry
Durant
KAwhi
AD
Giannis
HArden
Luka
Jokic
Embiid
Butler
Paul
Dame
Tatum
Beal
Lowry
Gobert
KAT
Healthy KP
PG
Booker...

Seven more are debatable...

You're kidding yourself if you think it's the same at all.

I mean, isnt DJ still on the nets?

The Nets did the right thing even while giving up so much. The Kyrie situation really forced their hand.

picc · Post #253 » by **picc** » Wed Jan 13, 2021 9:39 pm

Who is the Nets frontcourt now outside of DJ?

Just Jeff Green?

I mean, they have to try to sign or trade for another big now i'm assuming.

Houston gets a whole lot of picks here and Brooklyn cleans out their draft picks again to try and win it all.

They might have better luck this time but still not sure how strong they will be.

I really like the return Indiana got for Victor Oladipo in Caris Levert as Oladipo was gone. To me, Indiana might have gotten the bst of this deal.

The only thing the Cavs are about to splurge is Andre Drummond and Javale McGee off their books at the deadline and recoup the assets the just gave up. 4D CHESS

I'd argue Indiana. That silent move was killer.

That's how the Pacers have always operated on trades, to be honest. Regardless of what's talked about in the off-season, we always make trades that are seemingly out of left field.

I guess that our FO was sure that Dipo wasn't going to re-sign and that's why they made this move. If that's the case then I like it a lot. Hard not to like something like that, really.

Holy crap.
We will see we traded away our great role players and depth for harden.
Spencer should be back next year tho.
Need a center, Jordan ain't cutting it and now Allen is gone
Welcome vet mins lol
