The size doesnt bother me much considering he is replacing Harden who also isnt a good defender. So really nothing lost there. The issue is that the 6ers have to create a hole to fill another. Once they trade Harris for FVV, then who replaces Harris? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to not think the team is out of options. All they had to do was keep Bridges over allergy dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heat were in it early but as the game wore on the nuggets looked like the better team. they are the better team. However i also think Miami missing Herro along with having to play 5 extra playoff games and going 7 in the ECF and nuggets having 10 days off from their WCF to Finals game 1 was eventually going to catch up to Miami. Some of that is Denver is Denver. They are a better team hence why Miami was a 7th seed coming into the playoffs and in the play in games. i also think they looked gassed in the second half as the series wore on. The last 3 games Denver was +10, + 9 and +12 in the second half. They were just +4 in the first half of those 3 games. Heck even in the one win Miami had they nearly blew a 12 point lead in the final 4 mins of that game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There offensive rating was around 120 all series. Denver is going to be around and team to beat for a while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His presence means a ton to that team. It allows guys to play into their roles as he’s able to be that second guy. Everyone in the starting lineup returns. Gordon on the contract he has is actually a nice deal especially the role he plays. I’m guessing Bruce brown opts out of his player option cause i suspect someone will pay him more than that 6 mil. Murray has 2 years left on his contract. I’m guessing they try to get a deal done with him next offseason but i see him getting a big paid day from the 5 year 158 mil he got this time.

Braun will replace Brown and will be vets wanting to play with Jokic. Murray is a perfect 2, he has to realize he is playing with the most selfless #1 ever, it can't get any better than that.

Tobias is an above average role player that got paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m assuming if they made this deal then it’s likely that harden returned. I would prefer they look elsewhere than Dallas.

e-a-g-l-e-s eagles! Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Would be risky to deal Zion. If he actually stays healthy and gets into shape but then again hasn’t happened and if you love Henderson and think he’s a franchise type player then i guess.

However, I don’t really think Henderson’s going to be that type of player. I think he’ll be good but i don’t know if he’s a generational type talent. Granted, I also think Zion has a chance to eat himself out of the league. Plus, he has his other stupid crap with a porn star going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admittedly don't know anything about the incoming class but of players but, they have to have better attitudes then Zion. The Lakers front office had enough of AD and not playing through every single injury and they finally told him this past season he will never be 100% and he needs to learn how to play through injuries. He responded well, I don't see that from Zion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He responded well, I don't see that from Zion. I felt this way since he came out to duke, he can’t play at the weight he’s at and have a sustainable long career. That’s too much weight on his frame and for the type of game he wants to play. Everybody was pissed off at Gilbert arenas when he said that during the draft process but he was 100% right. Barkley has also recently come out and said he needs a Moses Malone type guy to tell him to get his fat ass into shape like Moses did for Barkley. He can’t be playing at 275 to 280 and expecting to not have injuries with his style. He’s too big. He needs to get himself cut down to like 240 to 250. Even that might be a little much, but he would not have nearly the problems staying healthy that he does. I like Ingram a lot. However I’m not sure he’s more than the third best player on a championship team. Like if the sixers had embiid, maxey makes a jump and Ingram i think they could win. If Ingram is your best player or second best I’m not sure that team is capable of winning a title. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
