I mean I get the trade for the Rockets, but does it put them past GS? No.

Also, I think Lou Williams was a dynamite addition for them off the bench. Absolutely perfect fit. They will definitely miss him.

I see Blake leaving and then if that happens they may as well trade DJ. He won't have anyone throwing easy lobs to him and although he is an elite rim protector he doesn't warrant that contract if he isn't a lob threat.

We got far more than that for a much older Steve Nash. The Clipps are still the clips.
In the end, we got Archie Goodwin, Brandon Knight, and a couple meaningless months of Brandan Wright. We're in no position to sneer at the Clips.

I don't know how Paul and Harden work as both are ball dominant. MikeD will have a tough job balancing those two. Thought HOU was good and just needed a few more tweaks. It'll be interesting to watch. Also seems like the Clips took pennies on the dollar but could this open up a trade of Bledsoe or Knight to the Clips? Can't believe they'll roll with Beverly. FA will be interesting to watch now for them. What happens with Blake? Do they just blow it up?

He's better than Knight, at a fraction of the price.

Oh can't see Blake sticking around because I heard Redick was also a goner since before the draft, Blake is on Celtics radar also and a SI writer has a sleeper team as the Heat.

Just came across this headline

According to Serbian media reports (by way of Sportando), Bogdan Bogdanovic is set to join the Kings on a three year, $30 million pact.

You are expecting Harden to play 6 games, Paul to play 15, and Mike is the reason for this?

I think Harden has proven he plays best dominating the ball, so I don't see how this is really going to get the best out of both of them.

I think if anyone can figure it out MikeD can. Mainly because of the offense so we'll see. I don't see how they DON'T make playoffs. It would take an implosion of epic proportions. It could happen but the odds are slim.

They are going to have to make another move for a forward. Milsap maybe. Their bench is real suspect now. Harrell seemed to be coming along but MikeD hates young guys and so he saw his PT evaporate.

It sounds like you're purposely summoning JWB to refute you.

It was a line by D'Antoni with his depiction in Game of Zones.
