    How can he call Harden out for quitting then quit on the team himself? Is he now agreeing with Harden that this team doesn't have enough? Very bad look for him.

    No. Not enough winning. Not enough longevity.

    basketball hall of fame isn't nba hall of fame, it takes account college.

    Ralph was like 2 generations ahead of everyone in terms of the modern big man.

    I watched nearly every game this season, and I don't buy this "conspiracy theory" one bit. I never got the sense that he simply wasn't trying. Seems to me that this youtuber is just a fan of Boogies from back in the day, and is convincing himself that Boogie really wasn't as washed up as he looked to be.

    There is however an obvious point that should be obvious to everyone.... which is that when Boogie signed here, James Harden was still on the team, supposedly "locked in" and there was a likely trade for John Wall coming among other potential roster moves. There doesn't have to be a "Conspiracy" in order to convince both sides that he should be released.

    Doing right by Boogie by paying him, waiting a couple days to see if they could trade him, and when it was obvious he had no value in a trade, they did what was right to do again by releasing him so he could join a contender around the all-star break. I think Boogie helped himself with a few of the games like the Mavs game and showing he's healthy.... but he certainly didn't prove that he's still a starter quality center, and he certainly showed he is atrocious on the defensive end.

    Exactly this. Ralph was one of the greatest college players of all time.

    Under different conditions he probably would have done better.

    It's a fairly firm no from me also. With CWeb in contention, (on the fence; kinda also no, but he may get in). The way for borderline candidates is to be on TV. If still in the public consciousness; the HoF will look favourably. Though I don't see Boogie as the broadcast type. Maybe podcasting?
