    Harden-Capela roll game was very good, Harden-AG 2 man roll game would have been ridiculous. Aaron Gordon much more versatile offensive talent, even as short roller passer.

    Plus AG is elite switch defender.

    Too bad he traded away CP3 for his buddy Westbrook instead....

    Haven't seen d-rock in a while, the shock of how utterly bad Ben Simmons have been must have sent him into shock, requiring a break from the forum

    Since Gordon has been in Denver they been eliminated in the 1st and 2nd round. Results still pending this season. I don't think AG was the savior. Just my opinion.

    perhaps so but
    you know what would have been really really ridiculous?

    if harden ever truly embraced DMO and we played teamball with DMO as a hub...

    TAKE THAT FOR DATA

    Him and Capela were a top-tier duo. Imagine if we gave Harden a big with any type of actual ball skills.

    You mean like Embiid? Can you imagine those two on the same team together? I can't

    Exactly, Embiid and Harden are easily a top 2 or 3 duo in the league right now. Unfortunately the closest thing to Embiid we gave Harden was broke back Howard who was anti-PnR.

    On a very Serious Note - Does anyone here have any faith and confidence that Denver will will a Championship this year?

    They feel like we watching Utah win 60+ games knowing they gonna fade in the playoffs

    They really could use a dynamic guard that could play off of Jokic. Murray isn't quite good enough IMO but that will have to do.

    Offensively they are good enough, and they have the franchise anchor that can carry them.

    Defensively they are improved having Gordon and Pope being able to get 30 minutes a night.

    I think they actually are the 3rd most likely to win the title.
