Honest question: What do you think was Sam Presti's motivation for giving away James Harden for such a paltry return? He knew the trade wouldn't help the Thunder in the short or long term, so why make it?

I was really hoping at the time we could trade Demar for Harden. I am sure Presti would have done it. |

For the NBA marketing wise, LeBron to the Philadelphia would be the best situation other than for some weird ass no way in hell reason that Anthony Davis and LeBron ended up on the same team. Embiid and Simmons playing with LeBron would raise their national profile up to more household status other than hard core sports fans. Especially Embiid. His personality with the exposure that would come with LeBron would sky rocket.

NBA just doesn't have another major TV draw right now outside of LeBron. It sucks because the talent level is pretty damn amazing right now. Just not marketing wise. NBA would take a hit just like when Jordan retired. Lot of that also occurred because Shaq and Kobe were unlikable. Especially Kobe's punk ass. Iverson came across as a thug. The other great team was the Spurs and they are the most boring ass franchise lead by a boring ass superstar in Duncan. It's a shame Shaq and Penny couldn't have been longer.

LeBron to the sixers will win rings but it's going to slow down the development of Simmons, Fultz, and embiid. He'll have them standing at the 3 point line waiting for a kick out and when they struggle KCC will come here talking about how LeBron has to carry his trash teammates :) .

Rodman was another guy. While sort of a 1 trick pony he was a personality people would tune in to see. |

Nick Wright went from talking about Matt Cassel and Fat Scott to giving Lebron hot takes every day on a nationally televised sports debate show

I know it's hard for you to fathom that a system can make players better but there's a reason a player like Javale McGee can be a good role player on the Warriors. If McGee was on the Cavs, we already know you'd be talking about how trash he is and how lebron can't win with him as a teammate. Don't even try to deny it. Posted via Mobile Device |

Someone ask Nick about Jason Terry outscoring Lebron (dismal 17 ppg) in the 11 Finals despite playing 11 fewer minutes per game since KCC won't touch the topic.
|
It's amazing how well coached Boston is.

OKC's offense consists of Westbrook driving or shooting the ball and if he passes it to someone else he stands 3-4 ft back from the 3 pt line with his thumb up his ass. Rinse-repeat Quote:

Everyone else standing around. Not much motion. The same was true last year when the ball was not only in Lebron's hands, but Kyrie's too. |

Terry Rozier is having a great playoffs.

Even this year the Cavs were one of the top 5 offensive teams in basketball exactly because of the highly efficient shots that LeBron creates for the scrubs that surround him. Creating space and good shots for others is an enormous positive no matter how hard you try to deflect and convince yourself that it isn't so. |

Was easy to forget before tonight that Philly hasn't proven a damn thing against anybody good. They may not get through this one.

Here you go KCC. Moving without the ball. Getting easy shots. Another reason why Jordan was so superior:

Who are all these players who played better away from Westbrook? I think OKCs main problem is that they've hired 2 extremely weak coaches that can't game plan and can't handle player egos. They need someone that can design a system around Westbrooks style but also be able to run plays. Donovan can't do that. Posted via Mobile Device |

The Grizzlies also won two games, and Harden took 1 game off them by himself too. But go ahead and make it sound like it was bigger than it was :rolleyes: |

Also, that’s a huge “but” when you’re talking about a guy that played phenomenal in that series and hit the big shot to win it all. |

Raptors need to pull out this first game or this series is over
|
That should have been a flagrant 2 on Love and an ejection + fT's + ball
Exactly what did Jae Crowder did against OKC a few nights ago and he got ejected |
Valanciunas is horrible

Ohh Raptors.
|
Going into OT, Lebron had a good look though
|
Toronto with 29 chances to win it there at the end. Gonna regret that in about 5 minutes if they don't win.

Won’t get a KCC appearance tonight. Lebron was awful down the stretch. Bailed out by his teammates and the Raptors.

Curry's back and hit an immediate 3.

Raptors are the chiefs of basketball. You could tell neither the fans nor the players believed they would win even though they had the lead all game.

if you let Tristan Thompson get a double double on you in 2018 then your team is horrible.
