James Harden to Brooklyn picking up steam...
Harden, Kyrie and Durant....won’t be hard to root against that team

Look on the bright side. With Durant and Irving he likely won’t average 27 free throws a game.
Houston should tell Harden to fuck off though. He’s got two more years plus third year player option on deal. They’d be miserable without him.
No way I trade Harden if I’m Houston. Unless you get a shot ton of Draft capitol down the road.
After seeing what Milwaukee gave up for Holiday, the market for Harden had to be insane.
And in absolutely horrible news, Klay Thompson tore his Achilles today in practice/work outs.

Awful
Granted, most of you won’t care. But this sucks as a fan of the NBA.

That’s the injury (that’s not completely life altering) that bothers me the most for athletes
That sucks. That’s Demarcus Cousins level bad luck.
Also prayers out to Obi Toppin going to the Knicks.
With the 5th pick in the 2020 NBA draft, The Cleveland Cavaliers select Isaac Okoro from Auburn University.
Man I don’t know very many players...
Wish Cabs had swing for the fences with Avdeji or Hayes. Oh well. Okoro will work out, just don’t see a future star.

Canceling the tournaments didn’t help.

No it didn’t. College basketball has fallen for me more than any other sport I follow.
I guess I will be the first one to say I don't give a fuck about the Warriors' injury woes. They gave 0 fucks about Kryie and Love's injuries, while they were rubbing in their first title. They also gave 0 fucks about all other teams that had major injuries during their matchups against them in the playoffs.

I’ll add that Klay is low-key the worst of them. Draymond owns his shit. KD is a fragile snake and everyone around the league knows it. Steph is bad, and the media protection of him sucks. But Klay...Klay is a douche and no one ever talks about it because he appears “cool” and the others on the team make him look “not-as-bad” so to speak.

Yeah it really seems like Karma is biting back big time for that first playoff run where they didn't have to play anyone at full strength. Isn't that also the year that Zaza stepped under Kawhi?

No, that was actually 2017, after Cavs beat them in 2016.
Lakers get Wes Matthews and Montrezl Harrell in free agency. AD will be signing after Turkey Day. Lakers will be the far and away favorite to win the title again; no matter what happens with Brooklyn/Harden, IMO.
Davis Bertans and his 8ppg signs for 5 years/80 million to Washington.
Kind of surprised that not only Dwight Howard went to the 76ers and more so he’ll be replaced by Harrell.
Joe Harris just got $75M from the Nets. Jerami Grant got $60M from Detroit. Ridiculousness.
Money talks obviously but I just couldn’t imagine signing with the Pistons for any other reason.

They’ve also signed like 4 guys today. Also have seen some rumblings that they will be incorporated in some sort of a sign and trade with Blake Griffin. Not sure where he’ll go, though.
Lol at whatever the hell Pistons are doing.
Harrell is a net negative for any team other than Lakers, imo. But not having to defend AD, makes him a solid pickup for them.
