I don't think he has an NBA agent. He has a business manager who I assume helps him with agent stuff until he gets an actual agent

Harden is an absolute joke and the Sixers are going to be taken for a ride.

Nets should be ecstatic that they don't have to deal with him anymore.

Yeah Nets had enough to deal with with the Kyrie show and they really didn't need the extra drama that Harden brings with him when he's slightly unhappy. To hear about how he would fly out to Vegas to party instead of their next stop on a road trip can't be good for team chemistry/morale, especially after losing.

I wonder if Harden left where he would be most likely to show up out of the teams with max cap space. Probably not Detroit. Maybe Portland or SA.

Are you saying you could potentially see Harden signing with Blazers or Spurs? Would be interesting to see Harden play with Lillard, but I think Blazers are pretty high on Simons right now, from what locals here in Portland area are telling me, is they believe they might make a run at Ayton.
The Spurs I don't see working out. I don't see Popavich liking Harden's diva attitude.

And then force his way to a team he wants after getting his bag? Sounds like Harden

Wow, nice win Denver.

Big time shot. I really thought Jokic was going to go for the contested 2 to tie the game but that's why I'm a dude behind a keyboard and he's a former MVP

Well he drew in Curry, who left enough room for Morris. Great shot.

I didn't realize this was a buzzer beating loss for them.

BTW, I'm not a fan of when players bull rush the one who hit the winner and take him to the floor. It's hardwood and anything can happen. Not a smart way to celebrate IMO

Yeah, like KJ trying to pick up Oliver Miller and hurting his groin. :banghead:

Curry should have stayed home on that play. Not sure what he expected to accomplish guarding Jokic there when there were two other guys already guarding him.

Not to rehash any old arguments, But Run did make a very solid point regarding Dosunma being available at that pick, when considering his impact on the bulls so far in contrast to Shamet's' so far.

What's done is done of course. And we need Shamet to play well. But it has to make you wonder just a bit the outcome in differing scenarios?

And the ironic part is we basically went out and got a Carter type player in Holiday.

It is what it is, I just hope we didn't screw things up cap wise, giving Shamet that contract. :crazy:

Anthony Davis can not catch a break.

Doesn't help that he apparently doesn't take care of his body as he's gotten older. When he's known to be injury prone, he needs to take better preventative care.

He's also either the clumsiest elite athlete ever or has a bad habit of falling down trying to get calls. Dude is constantly on the floor.

a lot of players fall not just for the foul calls but to soften the landing and in the longer term should theoretically reduce the wear on the knees. I'm always amazed how quickly dudes get up after doing their safety falls to get back on D. But AD's falls often look like the safety falls and I think the guy is just super fragile

Man, Doncic had 49, 15 and 8, making 7 3s.

Yeah, I almost mentioned 17-35, which I think is fairly impressive, given that many shots, but it's not like 60% or something so I figured people wouldn't find it as impressive. But it's still 1.4 pts per shot, which is really good. A lot of players sometimes take close to as many shots as they score points, and people just focus on points.

Some other big games too. Embiid had 42, 14 and 5 and 3/4 from 3 and that's with fouling out. Giannis with 32, 11, 9 and 3 steals...also 2/4 from 3.

Who are you pulling for in finals?
