LaVar Ball needs to STFU already, pretty funny to listen to him run his damned mouth.
It's also interesting to see what everyone has to say about AD to the Lakers but if he can't stay healthy it doesn't matter, still a big question mark imho

I agree, they didn't give up anyone who was going to get them close to a title. Ball has not panned out; he's young and can still be productive, but he needs work between the ears and with his mechanics. Hart is a "nice" player, but hardly irreplaceable. Ingram hasn't lived up to the hype IMO. He's a solid player, but hardly a "can't lose" guy. The big concern has gotta be depth. They need to split up their remaining cap money to sign some players to fill out their roster, preferably shooters and rebounders. If they do that, they will be a tough team next year if James, Davis and Kuzma stay relatively healthy.
Glad to see the AD trade done and not giving up Kuzma, who isn't a superstar but produces extremely well for his salary. It might sound nice to land a big-name free agent, but that's not smart money or depth wise. Since snowflake Magic Johnson is gone, making a splash simply for a name and headline probably won't happen.
We'll see what moves they make in a few weeks, but assuming everyone stays healthy (should go without saying for any team with a superstar) this is great for this season and AD most likely signing long-term sets up the team for the future.
West should be interesting. Warriors aren't gone but definitely a shell of the previous years. Houston sounds like they are having some internal turmoil. Excited for the offseason.

Playoffs in the West should be awesome next year. If you're Denver, or Portland, for example, you gotta be thinking this is your chance. I'd love to see Damian Lillard get a ring.
Harden got ****in robbed. Knew it was going to happen though.
I don’t think he got robbed. Giannis deserved it just as much and he plays on both sides of the ball, that’s probably why he won it over harden.
Harden did play defense, and was not only good offensively, he was historic.
It was coin flip between them. Anybody who thinks otherwise needs to take off their homer glasses.

There is no arguing his production.
The problem is Harden, like TONS of other NBA stars, is a selfish prema donna who doesnt get along well with others LOL.
I'm not knocking Giannis' season, it just wasn't as good.
He made it to the eastern conference finals and took the raptors to 7 games. Harden got bounced in the second round in 6 games.
1. MVP is a regular season award so your post is moot.
2. The finals in which conference? Yeah.
3. Harden averaged 36 ppg against GS it wasn't all on him.
4. Losing to GS isn't a crime. They had a damn good shot of winning it all before Thompson got hurt.

Obviously it’s not moot because harden didn’t win it.
He also probably didn’t win it because he’s not exciting to watch, and always playing to get the call is annoying.

He didn't win for 1 reason and 1 reason alone, the NBA wants a fresh face for their branding. Plain and simple.
this has been one hell of an off season
****ing insane. That's two stars that have left Westbrick, now. I'm seeing a pattern, here lol.
You're too busy gargling Harden's man juice. No point even talking to you anymore.

If you'd ever put down the Haterade it'd be worth debating you, but we both know you never will.
Crazy shit!
Great time to be a Clipper fan lol! Kawhi and PG gonna make it interesting in the West!
With all the moves, I think it’s been the best offseason ever. Now, there are numerous teams with 2 superstars. Can’t wait for the season to start.
