    Kyrie didn't like playing with LeBron. He will like playing with Harden even less.

    But Screamin A. Smith said that Kyrie should just retire. LOL.

    I disagree sir lol.
    Thats even better for them if they trade Kyrie for pieces but they wont lol yet. Plus they have Joe Harris and TLC......they are gonna be something, lets see how it plays out. I think that is instant chip if hyou get top 10 produciton out of KD.

    so if the Rockets have the #25 pick and the nets have the #17 pick for instance, the Rockets would move up and the nets would take their pick. But it’s 1st - you can’t move up from a 2nd. It’s unprotected so if the Nets are bad in the next 6 years, we will be ready to compete in 2030!

    He deserves a tribute.

    No matter how mad some of you all are, James Harden made us relevant when we were headed for mediocrity by attempting to turn Jeremy Lin into a superstar. I get it, James got everything he wanted and he screwed us with the Westbrook trade, but whatever man, he does not deserve to be boo'ed at TC. You guys have way to much anger in you and need to know this was all purely business.

    Correct, the Rockets would have opportunity to swap 25 for 17 in your first scenario. Your 2nd rounder to 1st rounder scenario is not possible.

    I remember the Spurs crowd going all-in on Kawhi in his first game back (nationally televised game) and it was kind of amazing.
    They did not relent the entire game. And their fans are... well I'm not going to sit here and disparage others.

    Lol, TC’s pathetic atmosphere won’t do anything of note, especially with the fan limit due to Covid. Even with no limit, it wouldn’t be anything like Bron returning to Cleveland or KD to OKC. It would be half empty at tip

    A tribute with no fans sounds about right

    KD fit well with GSW because none of those guys really need or want to dribble the air out of the ball.

    Him and Kyrie were ok together, but unless James does something there that he was unwilling to do here -- play off ball a lot -- I don't see this working how he thinks it's going to.

    Kyrie and Durant both probably feel they are better players and Harden is joining their team as Chris Bosh...The third wheel..

    Neither one of those guys is giving up the rock to watch James dribble the clock away.

    LOL Harden is better than both of them and they will see that soon enough. I hope they suck but be honest with yourself.

    Ideally you want to do your tanking now, we have our own picks for 2022 and 2023, we should be aiming for top 5 picks. By the time the Brooklyn picks roll around our lottery picks will have had a couple of years experience. We might even package the Brooklyn pick to trade a star.
