    Who the F is Herro and Adebayo? Man, does Pat see things Morey doesn't.

    On the other end, Sam Petrii has been good to us.

    Oh you mean when they wanted to keep harden down as a poorly compensated- stay in your lane '6th man'.
    Ok
    They were stupid.

    I think Chris can be traded by himself immediately. Not sure on the specifics of the other team sending multiple players. My understanding is that OKC would not be able to add any players.

    I don’t mean off the ball as a spot up shooter. I mean off the ball as a cutter, pick and roll man, and very slightly some ISO on the wing.

    I agree he’s not a shooter, but I think he’s not a good decision-maker either... another reason to keep the ball out of his hands.

    You want to maximize his strengths and those are athleticism, toughness, and getting to the basket. (Luckily, rebounding too... Bc we really need help there!) I believe you maximize those by playing him in kind of a Joe Johnson-type of role that he had when he first kinda came to prominence with PHX. Harden is the Nash. PHX used to make sure to incorporate about a dozen ISO’s for Joe even when they ran the 7-seconds or less offense. It was an example of how MDA continued to evolve (and truly seemed like a genius back then).

    Let’s get Russ a dozen ISOs on the wing, let him push in transition, and bring a little chaos to the offense (but don’t green-light him to chuck it). I’d like to see him only used as a point guard against second units, a la CP3 with us. I think he would absolutely destroy every single back-up unit in the league during the regular season. During the playoffs, we gotta keep the ball away from him or it could get ugly... especially in crunch time.

    Nah, but he's still an all-nba player and CP3 wasn't even close to being that.

    CP3 & Butler or Westbrook & Harden? I'll take the latter :)

    By the way, Westbrook gets rebounds and here I have no problem him going after them since we have guys who just cannot box out nor rebounds, meaning nobody will be there to move out the way. So go get em Russ! One man fast breaks are a thing again, hell yeah!!!! I'm excited now and I hate Westbrook lol. Just played a game on 2k immediately and boy he's hitting threes, running fast to get back on defense and just went hot to win me the game vs. Clippers. This off-season is the best of all-time in my book and the upcoming season the most crazy, exciting and entertaining it will be since I've started following it. We might not win, but damnit we going to be a team to watch out for. Russ is no p***y, he will get into it with guys. Really wonder what Vernon Maxwell will say haha

    Gordon > Love for this team, Wesbtrook + Harden isn't exactly a great defensive backcourt, we need as much defense as possible in the other spots so, Gordon fits actually better than Love i think.

    They are some of Miami's good young players. I havent seen much of Herro but Adebayo is pretty good.

    I’m honestly coming around to this for the simple reason being not able to beat gsw without Durant really made it a factor if not then, then when?

    He has slowed down and doesn’t put any fear into defenders with his driving ability.

    Simply put the team that gets the more talented player wins.

    WB is still in his prime and athletic as ever. His fire and passion will be a good thing for this team. The lingering thought and concern about WB health is taxing.
