2021 NBA regular season thread

[Wamu]

Teams aren't lining up to trade for Harden because it would then take them out of the Giannis sweepstakes.....

I think any team that wants Harden has a screw loose. No team is winning it all if they have that gunner.

1-LeBron
2-Leonard
3-AD
4-Giannis
5-Doncic

Yeah I'm only fucking with you.

I have him 4th. Just under Lebron, Giannis and Kawhi. And Kawhi is pushing it so AD could be 3rd.

Yeah I could live with 4th but not top 3 right now.

 

[DJ]

where did i say that?

"i would have giannis, kd, and kawhi ahead of him....then a debate with him and luka for 5th"

I'm assuming him is AD.

LeBron isn't mentioned anywhere in that statement.

I mean if you want to be stupid and not realize that there was no need to mention Lebron as he clearly #1 player after last season then go right ahead

Additionally, under normal circumstances KD would be ranked 2nd or 3rd but I think last years performances are heavily taken in to consideration.

Fully healthy and I have

1. Lebron
2. KD
3. Giannis
4. AD
5/6 Kawhi and Luka (interchangeable)

I would swap Kawhi and AD

You're probably right, but i've never been too high on Kawhi.

 

[tlance]

Jesus Christ.

The guy will be getting almost $50m in the 2024/25 season.

If they need someone to clank up balls against the back of the board I'll do it for half that.

I told you he was a max player.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

To the Clippers

 

[tlance]

So you don't think Harden fits on any team?

I said I thought it was worth the risk for Milwaukee.

But no, he probably doesn’t fit in any championship contender team unless he is willing to change his style.

 

[tlance]

To the Clippers

And had he hit the market, others would have been willing to pay as well.

For sure.

 

[tlance]

Simmons is stunted though, still very young but he is not even close to the player Harden is. Now I am not saying the Sixers win a title with the two but it’s an upgrade. Having to figure out how to make those two stars fit together is better than a guy that can’t shoot past 6 feet imo

I want to see Simmons play for a legit coach. All he has known is Brett Brown.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

And had he hit the market, others would have been willing to pay as well.

Probably, but not a true contender.

You think if the Lakers had cap space they would offer him $45m+ a year?

close to it if lebron wasn't there

NBA unfulfilled by Kyrie statement, issues fine

Kyrie Irving has declined numerous requests to speak to reporters since the beginning of training camp, leading the NBA to fine the guard and the Nets $25,000 each.

Yes.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Yes.

Not a chance.
