NBA (whenever)...

Good to be back. I hope you are doing OK.
That Paul George thing left me confused a bit. I am told he took whatever he took for mental health reasons. And mental health has been a big deal, rightfully so, for a while now. So, he wasn't supposed to take it? Or was it the wrong kind ? I don't know. Bad situation for sure.
And I think Giannis will stay a Buck but who knows...

I think he knew the risk and took it anyway, but don't have enough data to say for sure. You think G stays in cheeseland? He seems so unhappy there.

I hope not, the Dubs teaming him with Curry for one last championship run would be so sweet. Stephen is the one superstar who complements the other Divas in real time play. Time to get rid of Draymon.

I am guessing the Bucks are asking for an arm and a leg, a kidney and the first born for G. That might complicate things for a lot of teams. I would want him for my Raps...convert him to a centre . Barnes, Ingram and G as the frontcourt would kick serious ass, no?
Some teams may worry about his health also. That calf thing better not be chronic. He is not getting any younger. That's why I am converting him to the centre position where things are a bit slower when he becomes a Raptor !

It would have to be some kind of multi-team deal. That's the only way you can move somebody that big. We'll see. Only a few days left.

Good to see you Murat!

As a Bucks fan it is definitely time to trade him to whoever the highest bidder is. This team is nowhere near a contender even when he’s playing and that won’t change anytime soon. Rather start the rebuild while giving him a chance to win more

I suspect the Bucks won’t do him dirty and trade him to a team that can’t contend, even if they offer the best deal. So to me it’s whoever provides best draft capital and maybe a good young player, though I’m not sure a lot of teams in contention are parting ways with a young star AND a boatload of first round picks.

So Harden goes to the Cavs , for Garland. My first reaction was, did Cleveland lose a bet or something? Why are they messing with a good thing? I don't know.

Yeah this is kind of crazy to me. When did old man Harden become a player that’s pushing a team over the top? The young version wasn’t really enough to get it done either as we saw. And him with Mitchell is a weird combo.

Dallas got rid of AD, probably looking for young blood to build with and around Flagg. Do not blame them.

That or they ran out of street clothes for AD to wear

Seems like Bucks are keeping Giannis. I just feel like the longer they wait the more likely he has a major injury and then Bucks will be the worst team in the league for the foreseeable future given they have pretty much no talent and very few draft picks the next 5 years. Not surprised the worthless POS Horst wants to keep him though. That guy should have been fired a long time ago along with Rivers. No idea how Rivers has a job in the NBA at this point.

When is G a free agent?

When is G a free agent?

He can opt out at the end of next season. I imagine he will force his way out after this year. It’s crazy that he hasn’t already given the state of the team, but European players tend to be more loyal.

I think the Cavs made this move to get LeBron on the team next year. If 42-year-old LeBron is the final piece that gets old Harden his Championship, that would cement LeBron as the greatest ever. LeBron was the main reason why young Harden never got it done.

oh you mean that OKC-Heat final?

Harden's career as a whole, I think Steph Curry is the main reason he doesn't have a ring

Well there are definitely better ways to go about it I’d say. I don’t even want to think about a Bron, Mitchell, and Harden combo. You’d be talking 3 ball-dominant guys who play no defense. Basically a very poor man’s version of the Lakers.

How about he's his own reason for not having a chip. Every post season critical game I've seen, he's Casper. The team could really use those 20+ points and creating some fouls on the opponent w/ his flops. But no, you could script it, he's MIA

that's fair, it could for sure just be him. But it could also be years of disappointment and loss training him to mentally shut down
