Harden Traded to Nets

[ohreally]

i feel like the rockets would have been better off keeping levert and allen and the 4 picks... dont like dipo at all

Yeah. Pretty stupid on Houston’s part.

I agree with the LeVert over Oladipo sentiment. He could leave Houston after this year, while LeVert was locked up, and Allen was a RFA.

The Pacers apparently offered Oladipo $20M/yr before this season, which he declined.

And likely the Rockets will not offer him more.

All these primadonas on one team.

I'd rather take the chance on LeVert over Oladipo too.

I don't think Oladipo has any chance of re-signing unless they offer the max (something few others will).

Wouldn't be surprised if Oladipo is available again at the deadline. I think Miami should swoop in with a two 1sts and scraps (Nunn, Iggy) for Oladipo offer.

Bruh, every team in the East getting waxed by the Nets if healthy.

Harden as a 3rd option made the finals Kyrie as a 2nd option made several finals.

The bolded is the problem. They have to decide who's #2 and #3 when they both wanna be #1.

The Cavs getting Allen for the Bucks 1st round pick is a pretty huge win too.

Lol sorry I’m riding high after this block buster. I need to take a moment and let things register. Actually you know what, I think this calls for a celebratory backwoods.

Can you imagine how happy I am right now, after weeks and weeks of hardcore debating over Harden? The stupid **** he pulled at seasons start... I really thought this situation was gonna drag out.

We got a bunch of picks and the Nets better hope this experiment works better than when they gave up all those assets for KG & Pierce.

I wonder what Masai does now..

I had a lot of fun making fun of Harden and his ********. I'm surprised the Rockets got the Cavs of all teams involved and also shocked at how much the Nets gave up.

Masai is chillin unless Lowry wants out. Powell or TDII might be able to net something though.

Yea. This is so strange that I like the deal better for the teams taking on the "scraps" than the main two teams.

I feel from the Sixers standpoint this is a strange place to be. We were off to a good start before the league forced us to play through our COVID issues while other teams got games off. That Nets team could force our hand in making a deal, but with Kyrie it could implode some and make things a disaster for the Nets.

I think people are sleeping on the Nets.

How do you realistically guard a closing lineup of Kyrie/ Harden/ Harris/ Durant/ Jordan?

If they figure out how to get Harden to play off the ball that team is going to murder.

[NBA all the way]

U do when your opponents put up 160 on u

Never lol very few teams have that kinda fire power.

A quick look at BBR suggests you're wrong. I looked back to 2000 and no champion finished worse than 11th in defensive rating.

Bro, they've not even played a single game together yet lol

[NBA all the way]

Kyrie
Harris
Harden
KD
Jordan

Is that the best starting 5 the Nets have?

Still have 3 open roster spots to fill.

[R. Johnson#3]

Wait, hold on a second. The Cavs got Jarrett Allen which means they now have Allen, Drummond and Javale on the same team along with Love and Nance at the 4.

The Raptors need to swoop in and take one of these big men for cheap.
