    Yeah, it's amazing, what, arguably the greatest director of all time, had to resort to, due to being blackballed.

    We did not give up a lot for him..

    Part of the trade was also to cut our dead weight, which has also been beneficial in multiple ways.

    We're playing our best ball of the season since the deadline and people are still crying about luxury tax spending... Completely based on the assumption that what we would've spent it on this season is worth more than what we will need it for next season, and the year after, not even factoring in the repeater tax.

    Calm > whining

    The only thing worse than this statement is that a few others seem to agree with you.

    Lol people really need to get their facts straight. It’s when you listen to fake narratives and horrible takes that cause fake news being spread

    Trade siakam 4year 8 milliom contract for shumpert 1year 11million?
    Add 2nd pick is jokic?
    No.

    I knew that knight expiring contract is worth a good player.

    Shumpert could be a good shooter but not good defender.

    The man was perhaps too genius, a quality he and I fail to share (alas).

    All the knee jerkers should just wait until hes healthy and then integrated into the team.

    Shump not a starter but he can be a useful part of 2nd unit as well as D specialist.

    In terms of Pho ingredients,
    Harden would be the broth
    Chris Paul would be the Noodles
    Capela is the steak
    Eric Gordon is the meatballs
    Tucker would be the brisket (thicc)
    Nene is the tendon
    Faried is the tripe
    GG would be the cilantro
    Rivers is the bean sprouts
    Gary Clark is culantro
    Shumpert is the little squeeze of lime at the very end

    Mda and biggly are the sriracha and hoisin , respectively

    Yeah, I’m aware of the residual benefits, but YES we did give up a lot for him. It obviously wasn’t only for him, everyone knows that, but in terms of what we received right now we gave up a lot and that’s undeniable.
