2023 offseason thread

Dude I don't have time for this

Ok so tomorrow you can explain

 

[DJ Fieri]

Holiday easily.

 

[Sparhawk]

The value of this trade will depend on how much offense Dame creates for MIL versus how teams like BOS and MIA hunt him on defense.

Getting more offense from a player at the cost of defense plays well in the regular season.
But, in the playoffs??

 

[The Q]

I don’t believe this includes draft picks though….

So Philly can still send them a first

Am I understanding this right? He can’t be included in a three way deal for 2 months?

Like Boston losing Smart.

What makes him hateable?

Are you serious? I still say hate is the wrong word but if integrity means anything to a person at all he’s not someone you will have a very high opinion of. He’s lost respect with the players as well.

It must have made you sick to see Joe Mixon play for the Sooners.

You should know me well enough to know what I said about that.

I wasn’t posting here at the time. It must have had you upset.

It was what it was, I said he should have been off the team. He would be in the environment we have today. Kind of weird to compare a 19 year old to Harden.

@trojanfan12

What was the name of the crazy Giannis homer that claimed his art work was on display in NYC and gave a lecture in Philly on art?

We need that crazy fucker back here now that Dame's a Buck.

His over the top homerism would be instant HOF material.

buckalis?

 

[shopson67]

@DJ why you laughing? That’s a pretty solid haul that Portland gets for Holiday. They get one more pick than they got for Dame. Plus they get almost 30 million of cap relief next year in their rebuild. Clippers only part with wings on the last year of the deal and they get their PG and a glue guy in Tucker.

Sixers and Clippers didn’t match up. Clippers get what they wanted plus they keep Mann and Powell. Sixers weren’t moved by all of those expiring wings. They take one of them and they get a PG to replace Harden. That’s a win on three levels for three different teams.

Does anyone still want Harden? And how do the Clips replace Zubac?

Yeah i am. Most you can actually dislike about him is he doesn't show up often enough in the playoffs but some players aren't built like that. I hate people who play dirty

You keep saying this but there’s no evidence

Even embiid supported him

 

[shopson67]

I've hated Harden since well before he started alienating fanbases by forcing his way off teams. His rise to stardom was based largely off of duping refs to get calls. He's the biggest offensive flopper in NBA history and rarely shows up on the defensive end at all. Add in the now what, 3 teams he's manipulated to try to get elsewhere? F that clown.

Sorry but I’m not going to respect anyone that tries to destroy franchises to get his way.

He was picked last on the playground

If you said teams don’t wanna invest in a guy who changes his mind more than a teenage girl, that would be true.

But pho wanted him and took beal because it was cheaper and faster to get done

I think that was bullshit, no chance KD was going to play with him again
