Re: NBA Thread
I'm sure the Nets are hoping the Harden trade inspires him. Durant can play off ball. It can work theoretically. I still don't think it will.

Re: NBA Thread
Very happy the Cavs were able to get in on this and get their center for the next few years while parting with relatively little. Now they need to find someone to take Drummond off their hands.

For real. Cavs and Pacers swooped in and won this trade.Joesanity wrote:Very happy the Cavs were able to get in on this and get their center for the next few years while parting with relatively little. Now they need to find someone to take Drummond off their hands.

I think its more likely the shit fit is because he knew Harden was coming.

Sounds like teams/executives around the league thought a Philly trade was more likely in the days leading up to the trade.bada wrote:verb_to_trust wrote:I'm sure the Nets are hoping the Harden trade inspires him. Durant can play off ball. It can work theoretically. I still don't think it will.

Bro 4 team trades don't just happen. They were working on that for weeks.

Re: NBA Thread
Idk. If that was the case they really should have just trade Kyrie and kept their other guys. I'd be much more scared of a team with KD, Harden, Lavert, and Allen than this team.bada wrote:Theory: They ran it by Kyrie he said no they said they are gonna do it anyways he took his ball and went home.
My theory is the exact opposite, which is that Kyrie was sitting out demanding the Harden trade. I'm probably wrong because nothing has come out since the trade to support that theory, but it was my theory before the trade so I'm sticking with it for now.

Re: NBA Thread
Of course I really don't KNOW but it seems to me Kyrie has been trying to be a leader of a team since Cleveland and he keeps leaving places trying to find a situation where he's in charge. Now he's the third best player on the team he tried to build and basically Chris Bosh. He's pissed.

Re: NBA Thread
I'm really regretting taking Kyrie in our fantasy league. He'll probably retire next year.

Re: NBA Thread
My favorite Kyrie story is one day he walked into Brad Stevens office sat down looked Brad in the eye and asked him what does government mean to you? Brad taken aback gives one of his white bread answers and Kyrie says No! Government means power and walks out. Kyrie wants to be in charge.

Re: NBA Thread
That was one of the stories that was going around when he left Boston. I guess there is way worse stuff but the word is they are keeping it under wraps out of fear that if they spill it will turn off players.4/5 wrote:Is this a true story?

My students think the Nets won the chip yesterday. They have so much to learn.
