How’s Charlotte on cap space? LaMelo for Beard straight up works for both sides.
You know there’s a bit of a salary difference, and CHA is well over the cap. And nobody does what you think CHA should do.
The biggest con to trading for Harden? Your team doesn’t have as much of a chance to bid on Beal or whomever else becomes available in the next six months. Call it the Harden trade opportunity cost.
The other issue is that Harden’s trade value will be much lower if Houston still has him on the roster this summer (assuming he doesn’t rescind his trade request).
It’s so transparent how the league favors LA. The officiating tonight is horrendous.
@Harden. Really? That’s why we won? Your guy is playing as if he is disinterested and tonight he quit on his teammates. Someone in the building actually yelled “wake up Harden”. Wasn’t too difficult to miss in a near empty arena. He is anything but a leader, one can make the case that he is a cancer. Even THT outplayed Harden tonight.
Yeah and Trump wants a recount …..
AD had 27 after 3Q. Didn’t even play after that.
I would think Stephenson can get a decent contract overseas. Considering he’s only 30. And no one wants him on their NBA team.
