    He is very Iverson-ish - just not a championship leader.

    Championship will come if you make a good trade for WB and Gordon.

    If Oklahoma offers 2 clippers picks and 2 thunder picks (first round) plus SGA and Adams, do you give them harden and rebuild?

    Hmmm, it took the Dream 10 years to win his first championship. Using your 8 yrs are enough judgement, you would have traded our two championships to another team. :rolleyes:

    At the rate this COVID-19 thing is going there may not even be playoffs. This whole discussion may be moot.

    It takes forever and a day plus a miracle to land a superstar player. From an organizational perspective, it would be more risk tolerant to fire your GM and head coach than to trade away a franchise player.

    Then they should be called the OKC Rockets and we should be called the Houston Thunder.

    This is a ****ing stupid take considering people lauded for being leaders never won a championship until they received significant help or were not lauded as leaders previously and magically became one after winning a chip. It's like people forget that winning a championship is crazy hard. Garnet was known as a fiery leader before the Celtics. Kobe, known for being a fiery leader, didn't do **** in between Shaq and the lopsided trade for Gasol. GSW were our stomping grounds until they hired Kerr. Doc hasn't done **** without 3-4 all-stars since Celtics. Dream himself took over a decade to win.
