    You can be woke for sure as long as it doesn't impede your way to be a Top 15 Player of All time.

    Don't let it mess with your head.

    If we have elite scorers, we don't need elite play maker. Just a steady hand who keeps the ball moving and plays defense. Besides, if we can keep Sengun, everybody can play off of him.

    I think that is the conundrum for sure that scoring will get you there.

    Curry is a underrated playmaker for sure, playmaking does not require you to have high assist numbers.

    Understanding the basics of the game and where your fellow dudes are on the court.

    In today’s game I would disagree here that one ball handler and distributor is enough.

    That is why the Lakers wanted 3 ball handlers on the court. Instead of Lillard they got WB, then had Lebron and Schroeder or Beverley or Austin Reaves.

    It would be good if the distributor had a shooting game as well.

    Having multiple decision makers gives you plenty ammunition to make plays.

    (Brown is too much of a Jalen Green type, much better at this point for sure.)

    Not necessarily all of that. I wouldn't want to add this years pick ....

    You have to remember that if he is demanding a trade, they have little leverage. The price isn't as steep as it would be otherwise.

    Harden was a league MVP .... his price should be higher than Brown.

    Harden was also 32 I think and brown is 26. Plus Harden demanded a trade specifically to 2 teams .

    Will brown be that set on houston. No way the price on brown being super low

    So you mean to tell me a kid who entered the league with no handles and a suspect shot is now a hot commodity???? Hmmm almost as if players entering their prime are better than youngsters. Who would have guessed it? :rolleyes:

    So the story is that the Rockets are going after an injury prone SF that isn't a FA?

    Okay, well I guess I could see that if the Rockets strike out on winning the lottery and end up with a lower pick, AND Jaylen Brown ends up on an All NBA team this year, AND for whatever reason the Celtics don't want to give him the supermax extension he wants this summer.

    But that's about the only scenario I see this happening.

    If they can get Wemby, they'll just get Wemby, if they can get Henderson, they'd probably take him as a consolation prize

    Hey I'm learning all this from both of you and happy to learn it. I just think there's richer African American culture in places like ATL, New Orleans.

    From his interviews it sounds like he's not just anti racist, he wants to be a leader I think.

    Could be wrong just speculating. And again genuinely, thank you for that info about Houston. Sadly I've never been there so it's hard to discern truth from rumor. Most of what I know is from my two brothers living there in the 90's before and during the championship years.

    Why would we do this again?

    JB would require us giving up a lot in trade… not sure that’s a great move right now

    Kyrie's conspiracies are not wacky. Take it back!

    If Harden is coming, I would send the #3-#6 pick.

    Maybe if you think one of Green, Smith, or Sengun can be the third all-star and you can keep them. Otherwise Brown and Harden alone isn’t getting a title, or even getting close really

    Probably, but he knows when to keep his mouth shut so it really doesn’t matter.

    I'd be fine with this IF it includes a Brown extension.

    Signing Udoka would make it interesting honestly.
