    Any trades that could be made? This team as currently constructed isnt a tittle contender. I dont think it's to early in the season to say this. The defense just isnt good enough for a team looking for a title. Harden will be double in the playoffs and this team doesnt have enough shooters to make them pay. Eric gordon should help, but he isnt curing all this teams problems.

    A reality check probably, get used to this roster (and Westbrook if you hate him) because it's likely this is not going to change going forward, at least as long as James wants his buddy here.

    I really wonder if a different coach would change much btw...like, personally, i'd swap Mike with Carlisle yesterday, but that's not going to happen and i don't see a great coach available so, i don't know if another players coach (cause that's what we would get eventually) would change much tbh, although i wouldn't mind it cause i'm a bit tired of Mike habits.

    We still have our first! Which will probably be traded with PJ for LTS.

    Maybe we should try continuity for once.. Let it play out!... I think we are a top 4 West team right now... When WB figures it out, we'll be ready for war!

    Harden. Capela. Gordon. Everyone.

    We look like we would lose in a 7 game series to a team lead by a 20 year old. There is no future as we are currently built.

    Harden? Yeah, I’m gonna have to stop u right there. This franchise is absolutely fcked once he’s gone. He’s the only reason we’re even relevant.

    Gordon can’t be traded, so it’s down to trading Capela and hoping u can adequately fill the C spot once he’s gone.

    I agree. No matter what they do to the roster this team needs better coaching.

    nah you need to give him players that actually fit. he was fully capable of taking down a GS dynasty withstanding injury. it aint the system or coaching. get him someone that will actually help harden

    Blow it up. We are completely stuck with zero assets to flip and a soon to be declining superstar. We are in sports purgatory.

    trades? we can't do any trades unless you want to move Westbrook, Tucker or Capela.

    Morey will be scapegoated and fired before next summer is over. Book it.

    I think you have to strongly consider moving Capela for some pieces, one of which being a center who can do some of what he does at a fraction of the cost.

    Otherwise...man. It doesn't look good.
