2022 NBA Offseason thread

When you got Harden in the locker room the last thing you need to worry about is Harrell.

You keep feeding me old data that hasn’t applied. Dude has been another player development coach for Maxey and has left money on the table so the Sixers could build a roster around Him Embiid and Maxey. It’s still early but I don’t know who this dude is you keep raggin on.

Well he destroyed 2 teams so I’d keep an eye on him. He’s got It in him.

Kyrie destroyed the Nets. I don’t know enough about the Rockets situation other than to say that franchise was irrelevant before Harden and they’re irrelevant after Harden.

You have seen how he showed up to training camp looking multiple times. Keep your head in the sand though.

Exactly. He showed up to training camp didn’t he? He didn’t pull some Huckelfuck scared of the vaccine bull shit and just decided to play politics with his team’s season. That blew up the 2021-22 Nets, not James Harden.

It's wild.

If someone was like hey.. a team will have Ben Simmons KD and Kyrie on the same squad....a few years ago we'd have been throwing money at Vegas

Their whole issue is between the ears.

They need a fn team of psychologists. I suspect at least a couple will change professions.

Where have we seen this before

You have no idea how much time Philly fans spent Zapruder'ing shite like this.
I'm docking points because there were no small dudes or chairs defending him.....

 

[Sparhawk]

Well fuck this bull shit. Sixers have enough fake tough guys. He has no role with this team. Shitty decision.

I’ll never forget my first Ben Simmons summer video. What a shot of hope that was.

For some reason, Fultz is more memorable for me.
No idea why.

So much grainy footage, maybe my memory is now grainy as well.....

 

[Stakesarehigh]

The Ben tape is likely highly edited. I definitely think he can shoot better than he does. But I also don't think he's taking my grandma off the dribble and canning 3s at any kind of rate.

He's not a good free throw shooter for one

For two any of us could cut a tape of us shooting a 100 threes and us making 20

Nets are my title favorite

There's your backup C.

I like this Trezl pickup.

The only issue you have to worry about with a Doc/Trezl reunion is Doc's propensity to stay with Trez to long.

That's not a issue with Embiid on the roster.

You guys had a nice summer.

Um, Irving destroyed the Nets season.

Harden didn't want to be around the BS anymore.

Besties @Mecca @thunderc

Yep.

You called it.

I didn't think Russ would be self aware enough to embrace the opportunity.

Have you seen the videos of Harden working out this summer? Looks to be in really good shape.

Look, he's never going to be a great defender.

But, he's a energy guy, off the bench scorer who had his best days under Doc Rivers.

Plus, you got him on a 2 year vet minimum deal.

He's not going to jail for his drug charge.

He fired Klutch.

This is his 4th team since leaving the Clippers.

I think you are going to get a humbled, motivated player.

No.

But, I saw the one with Travis Scott and Da Baby.

I will believe he's not sloth Harden when I see it.

Here's the thing: Sloth Harden is still better than 80 % of the League.

So, even if last years version shows up, he left them enough money to shore up some holes and to mitigate his shortcomings.
