Yeah, Harden can say all he wants that he just wants to win a title, but I think he means that he wants to win a title while being the #1 guy and scoring 30+ per game. I'll believe it when I see it that he's ready to do what it takes and stop being a chucker in the playoffs.
2 headcases? More like 3 headcases.
Only a headcase would create fake burner accounts on social media in order to defend himself and detract from his critics.
To borrow an analogy from White Men Can't Jump:
"James Harden would rather look good and lose, than look bad and win".
That was the difference between Billy Hoyle and Sidney Deane.
That's fair. I excluded Durant from the 3 initially because he at least seems laser-focused on basketball and isn't skipping practices/games.
Losing Jarrett Allen is the worst part of this deal. I question the need for this, unless there's something about Kyrie coming down the pipeline we may not know about.
On its face though, they gave up wayyy too much. I can't believe all those picks are unprotected. They didn't learn the first time?

F*** off
Deal so bad Billy King never working in NBA ever again.lmao the Celtics finished with 50 wins and then drafted 3rd in the draft
Kind of like Miami picking 3rd after winning 10 games

Grrrr
Brooklyn ‘s chemistry will suffer from this and they have no interior D anymore lol
Houston fleeced the Nets
Also , good job Morey , you now have a disgruntled Simmons

After Harden's recent comments about the team "not being good enough", someone on the Rockets (perhaps Boogie Cousins?) should have approached him from behind. Then put him in a sleeper-hold.
Once Harden was out for the count, the rest of the team could have taken turns shaving Harden's beard off.
It could have been done Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake from WWF style.

James Harden ate his way out of Houston.
Now that he’s in Brooklyn with KD, he will try harder then ever plus get into game shape.

To be honest, Brooklyn was definitely not a contender in the East before the trade, and now they're maybe a contender, TBD. So I think this trade was well worth it. Gotta maximize the window that they have now.

Meh, he was dying to play with KD again so my guess is hell learn to step aside.

If the Nets get a title out of this it will be proof of concept that you do not need a brain to build a championship team in the NBA

Eh? Thats...not true at all.
Think KD and Kyrie even considered coming to Brooklyn if they were ran like the Knicks?

NBA blockbusters are always wild.
That’s a ton of future picks but I think it’ll be worth it if they win it all. A lot of jokes about there being only one ball but I’d be a lot more concerned about their defense than offense. The Nets already had a terrible defensive team and now they traded their best defensive player (Allen) and added Harden. They might’ve felt they had to do something with the weird Kyrie stuff and at least now they’re guaranteed to have two stars. Who knows how it turns out with the personalities involved but it should be entertaining to watch.
Not bad for the Rockets considering Harden put them in a terrible spot. I would’ve much preferred the Sixers deal and getting a sure thing like Simmons. They also should’ve gotten Allen instead of the Bucks pick from the Cavs. They have Wood and Cousins but they probably could’ve flipped Allen elsewhere for more. Still, Oladipo and controlling the Nets picks for 7 years isn’t bad right now and could be great in the future.
Good job by the Pacers jumping in and getting a signed Levert for an expiring Oladipo, who didn’t want to be there anyways.
Great job by the Cavs. Stole Allen for a late Bucks pick and for taking on Prince’s contract.
So when do we hear about Ben Simmons’ trade demand because Morey tried to move him in this deal?
