    "Good, we can trade Harden now." - Half the board probably

    The truth is probably in the middle between these two narratives; we chose to not offer him any of the MLE, and he got offended and left.

    there's no return for lawson that could equal anything close to the still remaining potential he has on our squad, especially now that smoove is back in the fold.

    you hope and pray that smoove brings some chemistry that we are sorely lacking and this team just clicks like they did last year. if we regain the chemistry we had last year i'd put this roster up against anyone's truth be told.

    not holding my breath that we do though... but i'll definitely be watching.

    Maybe he and Parsons can have an "offended by the Rockets party".

    They should grow up. It's a business.

    If Lawson can remember who he is and Smoove repeat what he's already done, sky is the limit THIS SEASON!!

    Glad we are keeping him, only IF he keeps playing like against the Bucks and get that confidence back. He can shoot it, probably one of the top shooters on our team but the no alcohol is playing its parts. Also no real coaches on that bench. I liked his attack mode.

    Lmao with bev dealing with injuries it is idiotic to trade Ty right now. Also with Lawson's salary expiring it could give us lots of capspace next year. And best of all...both Harden and Lawson are close friends of KD! If we could somehow trade Brew's contract and let tjones/dmo and convince Dwight to take less than 30M I think we can fit KD,Dwight, Harden and Lawson on the team with Bev 3za and Jsmoove. Hows that for superfriends? Lol! I mean why will KD go to wiz with just beal and wall when he can play with harden lawson and dwight?

    Lawson is straight trash, refuses to shoot during crucial moments ALL the time.

    Given that we still offered him the most money, he or his agent should have reigned in his ego.

    I'm not a big fan of looking forward to KD mid season, but:

    Lawson
    Harden
    KD
    JSmoove
    Dwight Howard

    What a starting lineup!

    Ty needs to take Josh's lead and just attack. Dont worry about stepping on toes. You be you. Attack and get after it

    I agree with you but he actually had one of his best 4th quarter games today and made some crucial buckets.

    The excitement we have over Smith returning and what its done for the team is what I expected to happen when Lawson joined the team.
