    I have a very confused boner. There are certainly more moves planned.

    how so? beverley's defense only works on guys that take things personal and get baited out of their game and into a one on one affair like, westbrook and ironically cp3 who when facing bev all of the sudden start calling of screens to make a point.
    But with guys that stick to a system, a la curry his defense is all for not. It just sets up for an injury while a pick is set on him.
    CP3 is also like the black short short wearing gangsta in the utah 90s. Cp3 will hit you in the nuts, accidentally of course. So he doesn't back down.

    I was behind him at Wendy's once. Dude ordered two doubles with cheese.
    Under my breath I was like damn Morey just order a triple and add a patty. Save on the bread carbs.

    That's why you gotta have to unleash Harden the way it was, Balloic. Told you the free agents are coming. It's not just Harden, Dantoni winning COY and his free lance style is appealing too.

    Ah - I wasn't aware of the option. I was thinking he was a true UFA looking at super max. Thanks.

    Les is cheap. Doesn't want to pay young players like Dekker.

    Everybody who was saying that no star would ever want to play with Harden looks so stupid right now.

    Weeko has egg all over his face.

    We can move Capela at the 4, and send Ryan Anderson and Ariza else where. And bring back Nene at the 5. I don't want Paul George, or Carmelo Anthony. Gordon Hayward is the best choice because he is more mature, and will fit in better as a teamate, and will get a long with Mike D'Antoni.

    Honest question, how old was Steve Nash in his latter Suns days prior to going to the Lakers? I'm just wondering if there's another example in recent history of an elite point guard that was elite past 32?

    So the way the Rockets are making this happen they will have the full MLE to work with in free agency most likely. Obviously depends on what else happens, but that is HUGE.
