alright, i'll have to say my hot take on Harden being washed and broken this year is way off. maybe he still struggles with injuries. I don't understand how he can play so well looking like santa clause.

Doesn’t look good, but then again Blake’s career started out this way, then he stabilized. Heck, look at Steph.

Plausible he figures out how to control his weight and body. We’ll see

2021 official team photoshoot on top. 2019 official rookie photoshoot on bottom. Just astonishing.

Zion will soon look like Baby Shaq but with actual hops like Zach Lavine.
Scary times. :lol:

He probably got fat because he just couldn't run the whole summer. No way they let him play like that when he is healthy.

AD ever since they won the title looks like he only kinda cares about basketball and is just happy to be in LA and play at an all-star but not all-time level coasting off insane talent. We can never compare this dude again to Giannis man

7 years young and already a free thinker

Even better, he's Australian :wink:

I watched a few games of his this preseason and he looks like he’s trying to hide serious injury. He moves like an old man and only explodes for lobs and easy blocks.

If Kyrie isn’t going to play the nets surely have to trade him, yeah? Is it worth the risk of taking him on if you’re a fringe team like Dallas? Who says no on KP for Kyrie? Prob Dallas but you’d at least think about it.

If this is part of a move to force Luka to team up with Giannis, I'm down.

They really need a healthy Zion first, but the team I could see being desperate enough to do it would be the Pelicans.

You guys are underestimating the enigma that is Kyrie. He already leaked that he would retire if traded.

4/50 for Wendell Carter Jr. My Bamba dream lives a little longer.

He just never had the all time great intensity and now he's protecting his body too.

4/50 for Wendell seems like a lot for him, but I can't tell anymore. He just seems to me like he doesn't even like basketball.

They've been starting together in the preseason so you may be out of luck.

I’d love for someone to give me $50m because they think I might be good at something one day.

Ben Simmons game 7 rumor is hilarious. Wonder who leaked that

My draft thread joke was that he has 4 Tongan parents.
