Kyrie is walking, horford is a role player, and Hayward is a role player/specialist. Everything about this is awful. Tatum is the future, he should not be traded. This is way too steep a price for a 1 year rental. Is Kyrie's contract already up? Well in that case I will change my stance. I checked, definitely no way he's picking up his player option. He'll go somewhere else. I wasn't saying a one year rental, I just meant they have the assets to make a splash in other ways. Definitely changes the direction for the team though if Kyrie is gone. And as far as I know, Davis said he won't re-sign in Boston either. You know how fast that can change, but I wouldn't chance it. Not with Philly and Toronto constantly looking better and better.

And Milwaukee too... SCARIEST east team in my opinion.
Poor Boston.

The window that opened for Boston to be the top team in the East when LeBron went digging for gold in LA is closing rapidly. They won't be able to stand pat in the off season nor can they afford to lose Kyrie without getting a replacement of equal value on the court.

Jeremy Lin got waived by the Hawks and will be signing with the Raptors almost 7 years to the day he gave them the infamous 3 point dagger.

Didn't realize Fred Van Vleet was injured so that signing becomes even more important right now. Good pick for the Raptors be I think. Also, man is Brooklyn a pesky, grinder of a team. Every time I see them play the Raptors they really give them a run for their money.

This is awesome. You've probably seen it but in case you haven't, get ready for the best color commentating in NBA history.

Is it really the best when he said he couldn’t think of anymore beer but didn’t mention Milwaukee’s Best? It was great though, I was watching it live when it happened.

Paul George should be league MVP, at least until Giannis can hit a shot outside of the paint.

Neither will win because everyone is enamored with Harden’s bullsh*t.

Plus it seems like he's even playing defense these days. He travels every possession. He gets so many foul calls by kicking his legs into the defender when he shoots. He jacks up shots like one of them will eventually save humanity. His defense is still awful, some effort doesn't equal results. He is literally the most overrated player in major sports history. If they stopped giving him his leg kick and 1s, and both of his travels ( the 23 step gallop to the basket and the 4 step shuffle stepback) then all of the sudden he is averaging 10-12 ppg. And let's not forget the biggest Harden flaw. If you yell 'game 7' as he shoots, his percentage falls to about 20%.

Maybe that game winner shuffle smh, but that was also a botched call. EVERYONE travels in the NBA and gets away with it. It's a joke. It's the most poorly officiated league within the four major pro sports, and players know it. If he knows how to get foul calls, he gets them because that's a flaw in the officiating. His leg kick thing is just him being smart at drawing fouls, nothing new. He doesn't do it that much. Jacking up prayers is what all the cool kids do now. With the way the league is moving that's the norm. As or defense, you're right. He's always been flatfooted and lazy. Just meant he's good at steals off passes, should have been more clear. I think me and my torn ACL might defend better.

I think me and my torn ACL might defend better. It's a problem when other NBA players publicly complain about his travelling. Steph curry called him out DURING A GAME. He doesn't have the respect of other players. And his haircut is stupid and his beard is weak as . Yeah the league is piss poor at officiating and enforcing it's own damn rules, no arguement. But harden gets calls Jordan didn't lol. Guys a bum. And he's never gonna win a title. If we can crap on Carmelo for his style of play and never winning, we can surely do the same to a league mvp, right? I understand opinions will vary and I don't want to try to change your mind. I just can't stand him and think he is overrated as hell. Even we could score 20+ a game if we could do whatever we wanted, get constantly bailed out by vs foul calls, and shoot every time down court.

And he probably won't win a title because GSW is too good, that's everyone's problem.
