Well 3 games in & PG 13 is fully healthy (for now) playing like a #1.

Russ is a breath of fresh air. Needed an actual PG and look what happens.

Kawhi is Kawhi, I expect nothing less from him.

Mook is nowhere near the rotation & that's a good thing.

Bones is good on offense but awful defensively. Never play him, Norm & Plumlee together defensively.

RoC being in starting lineup, never mind the rotation is what was needed last year.
Bones does so much careless shyt and his shot selection is questionable

If PG can keep this up and stay relatively injury free, bro might be in MVP talks again. Bones is starting to grow on me and I'm lovin' that Mook is not in the rotation.

Need to win this next one for my 3-1 prediction to hold. I thought we'd beat Utab but lose to Orlando. Let's see what happens.

Well it finally happened!! I said we didn't need Harden but at the same time the deal was going to eventually go through. Can't lie, brilliant job is getting him for Morris Sr, RoCo, Batum, KJ Martin, and a unprotected first and two seconds. I'll miss Batum but he was close to retirement. Can't say I'll miss RoCo cause Ty Lue rarely played him. Much success to him though. Morris being let go was long long LONG overdue. Props to him. KJ Martin didn't seem to be that good from what I saw in his short stint on the team.

But man this paves the way for Kobe Brown to get some backup minutes at PF. We'll see what happens with that. We kept Mann(and rightfully so), Bones, Boston, etc. Hopefully Harden wants to prove his naysayers wrong and ball the f*ck out! Also will have to see how Lue blends this bunch together as Westbrook and Harden both need the ball in their hands at all times. Hopefully PG keeps playing at the level he's been playing at cause he's looking like his old MVP self in these first three games. Let's Go brehs, let's make this thing work!! :blessed:

I’m not too mad at it since they didn’t give up much to get him. RoCo showed promise early this season as a starter but he wasn’t playing in the 4th quarter. Batum isn’t giving the same production and Marcus Morris was beyond washed.

I hope they have a move to get rid of Powell and bring in another PF, I don’t think Kawhi can play that aside from death lineups with the big 4. If Harden is right this can be real game changer. He needs to come off the bench though no matter what.

Gotta see what were giving up to OKC to get that third first round pick.

Would have preferr d this package for Lavine instead of Harden but maybe it wasn't an option. Wish we could have kept roco or Batum but it is what it is.

Feel like there are a coiuple of moves still on the horizon.

Time for Bones, Coffey, Mann and the younger guys to step up.

Yeah I'm not sure how Powell fits into this. Maybe they flip Powell into a first rounder to restock a pick or two. At PF I guess we're looking at Kawhi,, PJ Tucker, and Kobe Brown, and occasionally TMann. That's pretty good imo. We got some really good players surrounding the core. Look at Phoenix, they have trash surrounding their Big 3. Kobe Brown should be getting at least 25 minutes plus tonight against Orlando with RoCo, Batum, and Morris gone. We'll see what he looks like. I'd add Moussa in the mix but he's regressed big time from last season.

Bones has to be pissed that we're getting Harden but he's still apart of the team's future. Horrible time for Boston to be injured. Should be a Kobe Brown sighting tonight with Batum, RoCo, and Mook gone. Much love to these guys but I'm glad we're clearing the deck for newer players to step up.

I think Harden can get Bones some easy looks and it’ll cut down on his turnovers hopefully. As long as they keep Harden in that 6th man role I think this can work out

Yeah we'll be short-handed tonight. We may drop this game. Rather lose this game and keep the streak going against the Lakers if I'm being honest. NBA tried to schedule them a win by having the game on second night of a back to back.

I think there's zero chance they traded for Harden so he can be a sixth man. They'll put Russ on the bench or Mann on the bench.
