Thunder own all the 1st round picks

[True Lakers Fan]

westbrook and Harden part duex

That's going to fun to see those two ball hogs fight for ownership of the ball

 

[True Lakers Fan]

Can't see the Westbrook-Harden combination working out. There is only one ball. One will be gone, probably Westbrook, within two seasons.

That's what I think, I just dont those two getting along

 

[Shanemansj13]

Y'all gonna se the best duo is Luca and Porz. And they are both under 25.

Sexton and Garland and both under 20

OKC is treating draft picks like Pokémon. Gotta catch ‘em all.

 

[wildturkey]

They basically have at least 2 picks in every draft until like 2026

Crazy that the Mavs had cap space, no state income tax, a player's owner if there ever was one...and they struck out on all their FA targets. Cousins would have came if they had paid him, he's only making 3.5 with the Lakers. I'd have paid him

2 1sts, 2 right to swap and Chris Paul for Westbrook

The two firsts are top 4 protected. Not sure why OKC needed to make that concession.

 

[Ty41Office]

Best duo in NBA? I mean we have to consider it

On the offensive end, from a pure scoring perspective.


But give me Kawhi and PG all day as the overall top two.

KD is hurt

And Irving has been exposed

Doncic is going to be the biggest disappointment in basketball this year.

 

[tlance]

KD is hurt

And Irving is nearly as good as LBJ wants to pretend he is

 

[Ty41Office]

Sexton and Garland and both under 20

Embiid and Simmons are the right answer if we are taking age into consideration.


Tatum and Brown too.

Mitchell and Gobert

Fox and Bagley

And Irving is nearly as good as LBJ wants to pretend he is

Not a good look in 2018 for either of the ex Cavs

 

[Wishbone]

Presti is a master.

 

[tlance]

Not when only one of them can have the ball at any given time.

I have been thinking about this.

2 of the most ball dominant players in league history on the same team.

CP3 and Harden actually worked better than most of us thought it would because while they were somewhat redundant, they at least had strong skill sets that made the Rockets very difficult to defend.

But, CP3 clearly did not like the style of play.

Russ will buy in to the style of taking turns with harden. The question is whether the two stars can be enough of a threat off the ball to make this offense as dynamic as it could be.

I have my doubts.

Presti is a master.

Presti is one of the best at acquiring assets and trading for value.

I do not think he is particularly good at assembling a roster with pieces that best compliment his stars and he clearly does not do a good job hiring coaches.

Coaching means little in the NBA if your star doesn't listen.


Look no further than Kawhi Leonard, BronJames and Kyrie Irving

Based on nothing but your butthurt wishes and dreams.

They will make it work, my question is for how long. It's easy to have a honeymoon period when you are just scoring everyone out of the building. But after 1.5 seasons of each one thinking "if he would have given me the ball I'd have won the game" and if a championship isn't won (which it won't be), we will be sitting here talking about the dysfunction going on in Houston as HOU tries to unload one of them.

Unless Harden isn't back next year.
