Jalen Green's Fresno upbringing motivates him to prove people wrong, just not in Detroit

so Harden should have stayed rigtht? and because he left you're bitter

 

I wish I was, but it’s neverending

 

Of course

 

Unprepared how? I'm not really sure what an extra year of Harden does besides getting a worse pick this year.

I don't really follow this logic. If the Rockets had a high grade on Sengun why wouldn't they move up from 18 to get him before OKC could? You'd have to assume nobody before OKC was willing to trade with the Rockets , OKC had a high grade on Sengun, OKC stays at 6 and doesn't take Mobley with their own pick, and doesn't take a big with pick 5.

 

We just watched two guys argue about if it’s okay for a grown man to say “lol” on every post for like 2 pages but the harden trade is off limits ?

 

It's funny that you say this because I do it all the time. I'm thankful for the exes that led me to my wife.

 

Because it takes two to tango. I don’t believe any of the other teams would of given us 15,14, or 13 pick for protected Detroit and DC picks.

Sam Presti was in a unique situation. Dude already has a lofty amount of picks in the present and wants a cornerstone before going all in with his assets.

So he shifted #16 to picks that might not convey for 5+ years. You think wizards trying to help beal right now would’ve done that trade? Warriors (who took moody) would’ve done that trade?

 

Yo harden did the right thing. What do you think. First time ever talking about this

 

No, I'm a fan of the Warriors. I've just been on this site since 2001 because I like to talk to newbies like you that talk real big but joined like 2 days ago. GTFOH with that bull.

 

We would have had pick 18 in this scenario. You don't think any GMs would have moved back from 13-15 to 18? That results in Sengun/Garuba/Christopher all the same.

 

it was the obvious right move to make…MDA and Morey gone, cheap Tilman, the squad getting worse every year after 17-18…and then we saw how sorry the team was this year being the worst in the league with a 20 game losing streak losing by an average of almost 18 ppg

if he stayed, it would’ve been a 1st round exit or 2nd round beatdown so at the end of the day, it is what it is

fortunately, we kept our pick this year

 

Lol I think you took my post the wrong way but wtv. Bringing up join date weak af anyway. There a are a lot of out of town fans tho so I was just wondering.

 

well the tank was a success and it wouldn't have been if harden decided to stick it out with houston so he had something to do with houston's successful tank whether people want to give him credit or not

and LOL go DM yourselves if you want privacy

 

Old enemies: Mavs, Jazz, Curry era Warriors, Lakers.

New era rivals in the making:
Pistons: Cade and Green. Wood signing with us.
Cavs: Mobley and Green. KPJ scooped by us.
OKC: to a lesser extent, a trading partner.

• Almost took this year top pick if it wasn't for top 4 protection.
• Gifting Sengun.

With the us and other young teams rebuilding, I can see these kind of stories continue.

 

Well let’s examine it closely

13 was pacers
14 was Warriors
15 was wizards.

Wizards are trying to win now by beal, no way they’d want picks that might not convey for years.

We had tried to make a trade with Pacers with 13 and they rejected our trade offers repeatedly.

Do you think Warriors would’ve traded 14th for two protected picks that won’t convey for years? I heavily doubt it.

 

damn, Pistons fans are big mad

Cade seems to relish being in Detroit, at least right now, so they have that going for them at least.

Green would’ve bolted 1st chance he got, but I can see Cade being willing to stick it out in Detroit if they have some success. He has that old-school, mature beyond his years vibe.

 

Bitter boi

 

You think there is no way the Wizards would move back three picks to get their own pick back? I'd bet money the Wizards would have taken 18 and their pick back for 15. And I'd bet a whole lot of money they take 18, Pistons pick, their pick for pick 15.
