I think Harden is going to have to play off the ball when he's sharing the floor with CP3. Harden's assists will take a tumble but I could see his 3PA and trips to the line going up.


Why do people keep mentioning the ball handling thing?


The Rockets had a severe LACK of handlers, Harden did everything to a comical degree. The Rockets can afford two ball dominant guards, they're literally a team made up of shooters.

James Harden played with Russell Westbrook and the Thunder that year still lacked handling.

And LBJ has played with ball dominant guards for the past decade, and his robins always got their touches.

Houston, thanks for welcoming me with open arms. I gave my all every time I was on the court. Time to get to work for LA! #Clips


They are taking it well


Well who wouldn't be. Beverely gets to be the full-time PG again and Dekker will actually be able to compete for meaningful minutes.

Balmer must be ecstatic he paid 2B for a team with DeAndre Jordan as his center piece :D

Changes are just happening with the Clippers. We will wait and see if Doc is still around at the start of the season.

I'm low-key excited to see what PatBev does on the Clips. We were a soft team in the Big Three era. Beverley is the type of tough, scrappy player we've been lacking. He will also improve our terrible defense.


You will love Beverley. He's the type you hate to play against but love to have on your team. Dude always gives his 100% and has great utility in all aspects of the game. Now only if the Clips fire Doc Rivers, you will be stress free. :)

CP3 finally has a chance to reconcile his losing image and he goes to Houston instead of the Spurs?

Hey, he's happy. Good for him. But I hope when he looks back at his career, he's content with never making it past the 2nd round.

CP3 wants to be available to join the Banana Boat with the Lakers next year.

How are people saying this won't work when Harden PLAYED WITH WESTBROOK AND DURANT? Clearly it can work.

I would be shocked if Westbrook's wins it again with a low seed. It doesn't matter if once again averages a triple double. My guess for next year is Kawhi.

Guy on Cowherd said Boston is going to land Hayward and PG-13. He said Boston is only team with good assets Indiana will want. But IT is on instagram trying to recruit Griffin:

This is potentially the weakest move of ALL TIME.

Did I do that right?
