Scott Brooks on what attracted him to Washington. "Not only the talent that is here, but the availability to add talent in the off season". They are going after Durant hard, and before that situation even begins I would consider them in the top 2 to land Durant. OKC Washington
No way he goes to the Lakers. It makes the most sense for him to sign a 1 and 1. The difference is like 50 million plus the opportunity to enter FA with Westbrook and Ibaka. No other team can offer the same combination of money and winning.
Didn't we say LA would do this to us? I wouldn't be suprised if Durant just signs a four year deal with a team.
yea not every player in the league needs the attention at the end of nearly every season like LBJ does. people say he does it so they can re-structure their money situation each year, but I think that's shit. He just wants the rumors about him leaving again in the air to keep him in the limelight.
Are you for real? a James Harden fan talking about other players getting the benefit of the doubt on foul calls!? Have you ever watched a blazer game? If ANY blazer, including Dame flopped the way that fish does it would be a lost possession. Hell, I have seen him attempt it a couple times throughout the season and not get the call. That crap isn't basketball. That's stat padding. With that logic, ANYONE could get into the league long as you had half decent ball handling skills and a great FT%, just drive every time, get the foul, make the FTs, and maybe every here and again you luck out and the layup goes in, sweet 3 point play...
To them, "selling the contact" is a highly desirable skill, one you build your entire offense around. BNM
Wow. Warriors are not a good "representation of basketball." Coming from a fan of the abomination that is the Houston Rockets. Dribbling for 20 seconds and driving into the lane and throwing arms up to go to the line is what now?
I know, right? The Warriors actually play great defense, have an offense that relies on ball movement, player movement and the greatest shooting in the history of the game. Klay Thompson comes across as a bit of an arrogant, entitled douche, but as a player, his game is about a billion times more aesthetically pleasing than watching Harden flop, flail and throw his arms up on one end while playing matador "defense" on the other end when he can even be bothered to pretend he's trying. BNM
Did anybody NOT see that coming from a mile away? About 14 months from now, they'll hire Phil Jackson away from New York to be team president. Kobe for GM? Nah, that's going too far.
