important harden news from the GQ piece

quote:

Harden was always basketball-obsessed, but as a kid growing up in Compton, he was also paunchy and asthmatic and, as we know, candy-obsessed. He loved Trolli before he even knew what it meant to love. His high school coach used to bribe him with fast food if he got to the free-throw line at least six times in a game.

You should hear the sports talk radio shows around here, the most prevalent line of Celtics coverage is an ongoing "WHY AL HORFORD ISN'T WORTH THE MAX" rant

This is why I don't have any friends that I can watch basketball with

Horford confuses people because he gets max money and scores uh, 14 PPG. Which does feel a little weird. But he also might be the single best glue guy in basketball and that's not really quantifiable.

who are the lakers giving up to get kawhi in this situation?

No one, they got salary room for two maxes. Although I don't think they can pay Randle if they do that.

lmao that they have that much cap room and are still paying Deng 18 million.

e: oh i totally forgot that they'd have to trade for Kawhi, i'm an idiot.

You only have to match salaries if both teams are over the cap.

E: Or rather, only the team over the cap has to worry about incoming salary.

I honestly forget about this rule so much because I feel like 99% of trades involve a team going over the cap.

Boozer seems like the final star player in the classic power forward mold



To be fair, they might be 1a and 1b. Z-Bo aged more gracefully IMO.

Maybe Randle develops into in all star and we look dumb talking about the death of the traditional power forward, iunno. I think there's still a room for that skillset, the hard part is having the kinda body to bang and get boards while also being able to defend at the 3 point line and be nimble enough for switches.

So how good is Adams? I swear sometimes it seems like he is probably the second best player on that team, but dude disappears a lot of the time too. I really think he needs to be featured more, but the whole team is just flummoxed now.

I see him as a more active Tyson Chandler which can be a pretty drat valuable role, but the offence is gonna come and go depending on who he's playing with/the gameplan.
