    @voodoo said in NBA Season 20/21:

    And if you don't care about legacy, you're not a true fan

    This is the player power era. Super teams are going to happen every year. I don't give a shit**. I just find it hilarious that a person's perception of the trade is based on who they like and who they don't like. And who they beat in the process.**

    I find it odd that you don't think any of us are capable in assessing a trade outside our personal personal preferences. Because I absolutely LOVED Curry. Still really like him. Was just gutted when he recruited KD. I also loved that team before KD. Klay is one of my all time favs, I loved Iggy, Bogut, even Draymond was less of a fuckwit.

    so, for all that, why the hate for getting a good player? I don't get it. All those guys were still there. A good team did what any good organisation does, and gets the best players available. I've never understood why people have hated them for doing what they would absolutely love their team to do. Build from the draft, play unbelievable basketball, trade in the best players available, and win rings.

    I really enjoyed watching that Warriors team play. A team full of very good players (and two absolute superstars) still playing team-orientated basketball, sharing the rock and moving for each other. Great to watch.

    I like Curry, seems like a very good dude. And, from what i see, very unassuming for one of the very best in the world. I really hope he comes back and plays well this year

    It was great basketball, I agree with that. But boy was it unfair. I just dislike seeing a team so far ahead of all opposition that the competition becomes a forgone conclusion.

    I actually dont mind GSW at all now, Draymond is a bit more of a fuckwit, though his TV is pretty funny. And I certainly have respect for their front office. And I still like the way they play. As I mentioned at some point, the draft rules annoy me because I dont they deserved the #2 pick, but that's not their fault entirely.

    @voodoo “unfair” in that the Cavs with their 2 stars plus a 20/10 guy and a bunch of supporting cast pieces were also in the NBA finals? 😎

    I’ll give KD credit, he did get his GM to cry on international TV for him 😀

    Unless you get an "open letter" about you, published on the internet, and written in comic sans, you're just an amateur...

    I just said exactly that on another discussion forum. They could be absolutely anything, and it will be great to watch either way.

    If it doesn't happen, Harden for Embiid would be great too

    Maybe, but that's a lopsided trade - incredible for Philly, but a shocker for Houston. Imagine playing Rusty and Simmons together, the spacing would be non-existent

    at least with Simmons it will end their overreliance on the 3...

    I managed to make a Harden trade work with Horford and Mike Scott (who?)

    Doesn't seem that equitable though...🤣🤣

    _IMG_000000_000000.jpg

    Cant find a single combination that works with Harden and Simmons, even this 8 dude trade for him screws it up

    Blasphemy...

    Harden is gone and there’s only a couple of options that have the space and who Harden will entertain. Would love the Philly trade for Harden. The Nets option I’m not a fan of. For the betterment of the NBA, D’Antoni and Harden need to be split up

    I don't want him to go to the Nets because it will ultimately result in Sean Marks losing his job! I'm not convinced Harden can be more than a statistical scoring success. Can he headline a championship team? If he can it won't be Brooklyn. Too many negative vibes and only one rock

    Sorry, I should have been clear, its just a 4 person whatsapp chat. It means nothing to me, honestly. I must have been drunk when I joined it! 😁

    Probably not. So Brooklyn could be the right place then. All 3 players would have to make adjustments which is possible given all of them have a point to prove in different senses.

    KD - winning away from GS
    Kyrie - staying fit, overcoming Celtics debacle and winning without Lebron
    Harden - wants that chip

    If they can hang on to Jarrett Allen, he could provide good support. I think I read that DeAndre is on the move?
