I mean fuck OKC for stealing the Sonics but I wonder how many rings KD, Wesbrook, and Hardin would have if they coulda figured it out in OKC?

Tbf, Harden might have stayed at OKC if they had offered him as much money as the Rockets did. The defining factor for OKC’s success in that timeline is whether they’d realize that Westbrook is an inefficient player and that they should build around KD and Harden instead.

yep. Harden probably would have stayed if OKC didn't cheap out IIRC.

the westbrook contract was bad from the second the ink dried on it and i called it back then. it was a loyalty contract and those rarely work out.

Hope the forum NBA team are doing well.

Nuggets signing DeAndre Jordan is a psyop by the front office to goose Jokic's On/Offs for another MVP campaign despite not really competing.

Alright going back on my social media break. See ya soon!

Sixers have a great shot at going to the Finals this year after signing Danuel House. House played 3 minutes for the Knicks last season.

Extra take!

The Miami Heat are a very good franchise that work the margins very well. They also have the greatest advantage in the NBA which is the ability to hand out horrible contracts to middling players because they know stars will eventually want to be traded there.

Also they pump out HGH like candy.

Honestly, so damn happy to be a Heat fan. Went to UT Austin for law school and have a lot of buddies who are Mavs fans. Talking to them about their inability to keep players/get free agents really puts it in perspective how being big-market, successful franchises doesn’t guarantee anything over the summer. We’re lucky to have Pat and Spo, but I guess it doesn’t hurt to get to be a millionaire on a beach

As far as the HGH goes, it may help, but I want whatever the Boston doctors had that brought Smart and Tatum back from numerous season-ending injuries during the postseason

TBH, just the fact that an elite talent would be willing to consider The Bulls makes my day. For whatever reason Chi Town is usually an afterthought for the Leagues best players.
