There was an interview with James Harden saying that he will have an upgrade this season. I'm guessing that this might be it.

Even though these kind of shots are only made for fun or during HORSE games, i guess he could do it in an actual game and he's practicing this and honing this to excellence.

Celtics is impossible, the writers must be crazy to think that Celtics would be willing to send Jaylen Brown, that dude has an amazing future and a great player, why would you send a player that has been drafted by your team and has such an amazing potential for a player we know that is great but don't know if it will work out for the team. Clippers also already traded their future picks already, they don't have any decent players to send to OKC and there is just not enough pieces to move around to make sense for such a great player.

I think it will be quite difficult to move a player like Adams, dude requires a great deal of picks and great deal of salary cap and no team really needs a non-superstar right now for such a high payment, they would rather use it for something else.

Yes, it's not so impressive at all but I think Lakers sees something to this kid and in the future, they'll work with him and improve him to contribute to their team. He won't play with the team due to contract but this is a good start for the kid.

I think thought about that, I'm thinking about him on improvement through Lakers hand.

There's still the effect that he brought after the championship.

I didn't said that even after joining the Raptors there's hype already. I've said that after the finals, he turned out to be a hot player to the press and most of the fans started to follow him because on his performance.

Yes players can definately change but I dont think that is what they particularly need.  What they can use is a Bruce Bowen type of player, he was invaluable to those spurs teams.  They spurs had duncan, parker, etc to ay the lead dog roles, Bruce took some of the defensive burden off their plate and helped spread the floor for them on offense.

Thats why I think this trade between the OKC and LAC will happen. Neverthless, with this addition to LAC will just make the competition in the Western conference even more tighter. LAC, Lakers, and Rockets are gonne be rocking the top seed in the west for sure.

I agree but look at how the rotation of the ball is in Houston, the rotation goes with Harden->Harden->Harden. What I mean is he is the one controlling the offense. He could pass but the ball's possession is always on his hands. Although now, with Russ, this could be more interesting. The triple-double machine.

What a game for LA lakers dominating the game. I can't believe the intensity this Lakers showed that game. I don't know what they will do now, when the NBA season is finally going to come. This season is bright for Lakers.

I have watched the highlights of the Lakers vs GSW game and the Lakers simply dominated the shaded area with Lebron, Davis and McGee. To be honest they have good inside players and a good backcourts too. If there will be no injuries for them throughout the whole season, there is a big chance that they will reach the playoffs this season but still don't expect too much for them even their roster is better now compare to the their roster last season.

Im confident that the Lakers will secure a top seed to enter the playoffs. With AD in addition to the roster alone is already a huge move for the Lakers management. When they signed AD thats an automatic playoff-bound for the Lakers.

I have watched the game too, and offensively I can say the Lakers easily dominated the game from every area in the field, and youre right, most of these areas are were AD, Lebron, and McGee positioned themselves.
Im afraid the GSW will miss the playoffs this year if Thompson remains unhealthy for the rest of the season.

Here some playoff prediction from Chris Webber :



Chris knew the GSW lost too much intensity without KD and Klay.
Now, the NBA fans have just realized how underrated Klay was. Steph and Green wont make it alone. I know DLo is in their current roster, but I doubt he wont make enough impact this year with GSW this year.
