Interesting Hat choice for him to sign.....

 

 

They were talking about this on WIP, now that I seen it its a dumb story. It was the ONLY hat in view and pushed out in front of everything else. People look way too much into things that are not there. 

It’s going to be wild at Delilah’s tonight!

Harden is a shell of his former self . ., and he checks out when things don’t go his way .

Ping pong balls will be flying

Serious question…how badly is Howie twitching out to trade for Russell Wilson or Aaron Rodgers now that this happened?

Take Reagor out of the equation and insert any other human being...don't let the fact that Reagor sucks into the thought process haha.  He's almost sarcastically 'humble'.

I'm hardly a basketball buff, but for how he's chosen to utilize his skills IMO he should be playing PF.  Swoop in off the wing, take a pass, and slam the ball down -- that's the only thing he's good at offensively from what I've seen.  If he's a good passer then let him pass once the defense sends help into the lane.  He's miscast as a PG -- no threat at all to shoot from the outside, and certainly not from 3-PT range.  His game needs to be attacking the hoop.

Having said that, he clearly doesn't care enough to work on or improve his game, so he might wash out of the league in 2-3 years.

Who knows.  As disappointed as I am about the situation with Simmons, he’s still an elite defender in the NBA.  I agree that a switchover to forward would likely suit him best and if he’s willing to make the switch, I could see him as a Dennis Rodman (elite defensive specialist) type moving forward.  
 

If he wants to be better than that though, he’ll need to get his head right, make 70-80% of his free throws and become at least a 40% shooter beyond 15 feet, imo.

Howie didn't accumulate all this capital to draft DTs and DBs. The plan was always to go big game QB hunting.

The Eagles need a face of the franchise, and Hurts isn't it.

Are you Howard Eskin?  Every time I come in this thread it's just you trying to hate on the Harden trade.

I don't think he said anything wrong.   And I don't know what else he has said that wasn't good.  

@HazletonEagle was it you that RTK was arguing with during the (NBA) off-season about how great Simmons is and how's he's an elite defender and distributor?

Just amusing he's now gone on for pages about how big getting Harden is at the expense of Simmons if so.

yeah that was me he argued with. And he watches more basketball than anyone, so he knows.

Now do this for every other team to see how we compare 

I didn't do everyone, and I don't know enough about a lot of the players to call them a hit or miss. I just used some general ideas here, like if someone had less than 1 point after 3 years of being eligible they are an automatic miss. If they are above 10 points, everyone except Agholor is a hit. I only did a few teams like Buffalo, Ravens, Steelers, Cowboys, Green Bay, Minnesota, and for fun threw in Jacksonville and the Browns.

If this draft isnt the best you've seen, then James Harden doesn't like strip clubs.

Mailata is our LT for the next decade. Stop.

I’m not a fan of Karlaftis. And there is not a chance in hell Justyn Ross is still available at 192. Other than that, looks nice.

No, it's better that the Eagles trade him... and take the giant cap hit associated with it.  It would only be an extra $24M in dead cap money to trade Mailata.  That's definitely the right move now.

I thought the same about Ross. They seem to have bumped up Danny Gray. But Ross, who has been ranked low, somehow fell lower.

Karlaftis at least might be athletic. We will see.

I don’t even know if he needed to do that to even get to another level. If he just shot 70-75% from the free-throw line he is so big, so fast and so strong he can get to the basket against most guys who were going to defend him. If he was making free throws at that clip teams would stop trying to hack him and he could still be aggressive going to the basket which would be super hard to defend. I frankly think he lacks consistent aggressiveness due to being afraid to be foul but also just turns it on when he has something to prove aka lakers/Lebron game or needs to make the all star game.

I didn’t bother responding as i assumed he was trolling like his tannehill was going to lead the titans to the super bowl.
