NBA fans: The modern game is so soft, little guys just drive when they want and nothing ever happens
also NBA fans: Morris just hit him for no reason! he should be shot!
Definite deliberate foul, not a great one either. But come on, i'm all for a bit jeopardy when you're driving at the hoop. If it was really bad Adams would have wrecked his shit.

Adams must have been on the bench?

To his credit he got up pretty quick. Unlike Morris when Jokic whacked him

Marks isn't afraid to make a move...
The Nets have traded James Harden to the 76ers in a blockbuster deal that ends the former MVP's short-lived Big Three stint in Brooklyn and also signals a fresh start for Ben Simmons, sources tell ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
Harden is on the move via trade for the second time in just over a year -- this time to Philadelphia, which will send Simmons, guard Seth Curry, center Andre Drummond and two first-round draft picks to Brooklyn, sources tell Wojnarowski.
The Sixers also acquired veteran forward Paul Millsap in the deal, according to Wojnarowski.
The Nets will receive the Sixers' 2022 first-round pick unprotected with a right to defer until 2023 and a 2027 first-round pick protected from draft slots 1-to-8, sources tell Wojnarowski. The 2027 pick would roll over to 2028 protected Nos. 1-to-8 again., and turns into two seconds and $2 million in 2029, according to Wojnarowski.

fuck the Sixers got robbed!!!
Did they thing they were getting 2018 James Harden?
If Simmonds gets back up to speed quickly, i think the Nets just jumped to outright favourites. Seth Curry is actually a really fucking good player and will help the Nets hugely.

I don't think the 76'ers were robbed at all. Morey knows exactly what he's getting with Harden, and Simmons was a zero for them anyway. Harden will be amazing with Embiid, and we have a gazillion pieces of evidence that says when you have a superstar in their prime, you do whatever you can to win now, because it ain't lasting.
Agree re Nets though, an engaged Simmons is perfect for them.
Genuine win/win trade.

Torrey Craig transfers back to the Suns for the playoffs.

upon reflection, yes, win win, both teams better
Biggest question mark is how does this affect Kyrie? Does it spur him to get a needle and play? Because that's a game changer.

I just watched Lebron and KD draft their All Star teams. It was more entertaining than I thought it'd be.
The end was quite funny. With only two players left on the board, KD had a choice between Harden and Gobert with his last pick and he selects Gobert haha. KD is stone cold.

Harden just looked disinterested of late. Like his exit from Houston I expect him to make a huge improvement now he's moved on

Only surprise in the Nets / Sixers deal was the Andre Drummond move. He’s been playing very well and is the perfect sub for Embiid. He still rebounds like a beast and can score when needed.
Some other moves that might shape some things differently come playoff time - the Clippers got significantly better with Powell and Covington.
Charlotte getting Montrez is a massive win for them.
Cavs getting a pretty decent scorer in LeVert for basically nothing is good for a team I enjoy watching.
Schroder who was having a good year, gets traded from Boston just means more shots for Brown and Tatum 🙄

Close game between GS and LAL. I can't believe they can play like this and be so poor against for so many games. They look like they will go down but probably should have won after the luck eluded them at almost every turn in the final minutes. Made some good plays but failed to finish. Jeez Anthony Davis plays so small for a big guy. Settles for the fade away jumper far too often when he should bang it down low

Josh Giddey is having quite the rookie season. Another triple-double today even though they couldn't beat the Spurs
The kid is pretty classy.
