    It's his hometown. Of course he visits his hometown frequently.

    It won't be surprising. That's the point. I will be sad.

    With the way McHale does his rotation, Harden resting on the bench and Dwight getting his normal rest at end of first quarters, I would love the beginning second quarter lineup of

    Lawson
    Beverley
    Ariza/Brewer
    (insert a PF)
    Dwight

    That would be pretty good. Lawson would be a good fit IMO.

    I'm with James on this one. Some scrub nobody opportunist is trying to make a name for themselves on the fame that James has worked hard to attain through his play. Lil B is just a professional troll and we all know that rule #1 is "don't feed the troll". So the answer from James is and should always be, "I don't know nothing about or care what that punk Lil B does". To acknowledge is to give him some kind of power and you shouldn't validate what is essentially an internet joke.

    i'd give 'em the poopoo platter + 18 for Lawson... maybe throw in a future 2nd, Lull rights or other insignificant asset.... but only if Lowry cant be had for 18+32+TJones+filler....

    Lawson would be a great fit, especially if he shot and finished like he did his first few years, which he can by playing next to Harden and Dwight. He does well in both the half-court and transition. He puts pressure on the defense with his speed, draws free throws, and rarely turns the ball over. Our offense was very helter-skelter at times, especially when Harden went to the bench. Having Lawson will not only allow Harden more rest, but take some of the playmaking load off him when in the game. I think they'd have great chemistry.

    At $12M/yr he's not exactly cheap. And though his defense isn't nearly as bad as everyone here says (y'all are like the national media regarding Harden's D), he's not a plus defender. Sure, he's a huge upgrade over the Terry/Prigs combo we had in this year's playoffs, but I'm not sure if he's worth trading for.

    TJones, picks. Don't know what extraneous contracts we have, but maybe S&T. Bev?

    he would be the player that is able to get the defense scrambling by being active in the midrange

    And some of you criticized Harden for his partying ways. For shame! For shame!

    I can't comment on Lawson's defense because I haven't watched him live enough, I know he's short and probably isn't the best defender.

    But, he averaged 1.2 steals. He also consistently averaged 15 and 10 throughout the season, and his career averages from the 3pt and FT line are 37 and 77 %, pretty respectable. He also drives a lot, draws 5 foul attempts per game which is nice. He's only 27, it's only his 6th year in the league, he's just hitting is prime and is at least a couple years away from falling off.

    I'll take 15 points, 3 boards, 9 assist, 1 steal on 45/35/75 every day of the week for our weak point guard position.

    Can't hit free throws? Lawson has a career average of .771 at the line. On this team, sadly enough, that's spectacular.

    Exactly what I was thinking


    On another note, that video just reminded me how young James Harden is. His appearance makes him look a lot older. The only time we see his age is when he's out having fun with his homies. The guys truly still a kid lol
