    I wished so bad that Battier would at least be a 18-20 ppg, that Memphis stint was promising......

    Up until that point, Harden has had more playoff success than CP3. CP3 was considered a choker.

    Father Time* always wins. Stars need to understand their lights diminish. Same sadly happened to Dream here.

    there was basically zero interest in Russ this summer…only the dumb Kings took a chance

    his days are numbered for sure

    AD is basically running on name recognition now

    Derozan will have to accept being a bench player very soon

    It was always one round with 1 exception, that OKC team was stacked ......CP3 consistently exited in the 2nd Round.

    Harden also had 5 more inches, tons of mass and more scoring than Chris.....so talking about underachievement.....not going to go there.

    Harden had better super friends than CP3 as well.

    Yeah, saw an update that it was a battle between Chris and the front office. Seems even Harden was caught off guard by the decision to send Chris home.

    The only thing I worry about adding CP3 is Ime is going to want to start eating Reeds minutes and giving them away.

    But yes I do want a vet pg that can distribute the ball. The idea of getting CP3 a ring sounds cool, but in reality he is probably a ring curse.

    ? AD is still very good. He just never plays.

    A changing of the guard is what’s happening here. If these old stars are smart, they would take the bench role on championship level teams. James Harden is probably back to being the sixth man on a championship team right now. Because while he is putting up his big numbers, they are not equating to wins anymore. That goes for the other old stars too.

    Crazy how different he and Harden's legacy would be if not for that 2018 hammy.
