Desmond Bane would've been a good one, too, no?

You disagree? Why choose violence?

Of course I don´t disagree. I was making a joke, after I thought you made a joke about the Mavs excellent draft night. Apparently not.

Oh, now I get it. So the slap was for the Mavs drafters? I took it as you slapping me, sorry.

James Harden looks like he's cooked. I don't see anyone giving him that huge extension he's looking for. And Jimmy Butler has turned into a playoff monster. Miami is routing the Sixers. Won't be no game 7.

Meanwhile in Philly. Somehow this reminds me of last year. Best way to deflect the blame after shooting 7/24 from the floor in an elimination game. Throw someone else under the bus.

Embiid constantly does it. Quotes like this are great for headlines and making drama, absolutely terrible in building a winning culture.

How does that help anyone? Loser mentality by Embiid through and through. Can't believe I'm actually ok with the Heat winning for once but it came at the demise of James "King Flopper" Harden and his protege Embiid.

Wonder who is going to pay Harden this offseason.  Seems like a surefire way to get Embiid to demand a trade should Philly make that plunge.

DET? NYK?

DET? NYK?

Can you imagine Harden in New York?  It would be the Kick'iest of moves.

I am certain it will be Philly. They can't get better if he walks.

Harden looks washed.  Shannon Sharpe said it best, it looks like he's aging in dog years.  I'd give it 1.5 seasons until Joel demands a trade.

His sharp decline is giving me shades of Iverson after Denver traded him. Dude looked like a monster for the entire season and then all of a sudden couldn't get past the slowest center in the NBA.

DET? NYK?

It won't be Detroit. They're not that dumb to implode their rebuild.

[Halfnir]

Philly pays almost $112m on 3 players and 2 of them brutally underperform their salary.

This is part of why the NBA is getting harder to watch.  For all the talk about how skilled the players are, there are too many that flop, flail, and throw themselves to the floor trying to get a call.  Paul and Booker do it constantly and even Brunson just lays out on a lot of his drives.
