Besides the Harden trade, I believe Presti had done a great job at OKC until this summer. Giving up Kanter and McDermott for Melo was obviously a flaming disaster but a short term rental of PG for Oladipo and Sabonis could really set back the franchise. Adding to the problem is Melo won't opt out of $28 million next season. He gets another year of mediocrity with WB.
Lakers don't have their #1 pick this year, that went to philly in the MCW trade and is in Boston's hands from the Fultz trade
He told me to go home,” Embiid said. I mean this is my home, so I guess it’s time for him to go home. They won the game, I give them a lot of credit, he did a lot of things, but the dude shot like 10-for-33. I wish I would have shot 33 times. I guess we would have had a better chance of actually winning the game. But you know, he told me to go home and this is my home and I ain’t going nowhere.” “Ive seen that a lot all over the place, about people talking about coming back at me. I’m African do dont try me” Embiid seemed to take it that way as he kept repeating that this is his home and maybe westbrook should be the one to go home. Imagine the backlash if ryan anderson said go home to embiid lol https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.ya...r-win-russell-westbrook-trolls-053134170.html
Kind of soured on him when everyone thinks he's the next Hakeem and some even suggesting he's even better than Hakeem. Should take it easy on the trolling on social media and put in a few playoff series at least. Besides, NBA player humor is still at best cringe humor. He did mention he's the big's version of Harden, so I kind of softened back on him a little bit. BTW I remember arguing about the MVP debate last season with people online. Almost all of them are no longer using the same accounts. I think no one actually watch a full OKC game, all they do is look at the highlights, headlines, not even the full statsheets.
I laugh at the Hakeem comparison. But his trolling is funny to me. He likes to have no friends on the court, which is diff from all star players these days. Hugging and tweeting love. He makes it more amusing to watch. He backs it up so it’s all in fair game.
I really really want Paul George on this team. I doubt OKC will trade him to us. What are the chances if any he comes to Houston in summer?
James is from LA and CP3 used to play in LA.. Maybe they convince PG that LA has an importable culture.
Melo really is not going anywhere. . . . . .. Seriously. . . . . IF I were trading for Melo . . .I would need 2 first rounders Rocket River
