I also agree. Because it is not absolutely unusual for players to join teams that have really great players. Even when they are not going to get paid as well as they might want. But that is a trade-off that the players should understand. They are just basically trading money for a winning team or a little worse team for Money. So, I don’t think it is going to be a big problem for them to find players who would want to join the team for a little less salary.

Green has become really important for the Warriors. I absolutely agree that it is going to be a bad move for them if they actually lose him. They will have to make sure that he stays in the team and also they will have to make sure that they make all the plans by keeping him in the team.

James Harden is the biggest name in the trading block now. The odds would favor the LA Clippers because it is the team that Harden personally wanted to play. Personally, I am losing some hope in Kawhi Leonard's condition to become healthy for a full season or the playoffs.

But I will not count out the other teams, even those teams that are not on the favorable list. Many teams are willing to make adjustments for Harden. I am also hoping Harden will consider playing with Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat.

I don't think Harden is the right fit in Miami.  Everyone in Miami plays a certain way and it's very unselfish.  James can ball but he tends to disclose half of his team when he is out there.  He isn't a "next man up" type of guy or player.  Miami needs in the trenches people who will do anything for theor team type of players and not care about stats.

Did you guys see the news for Bruce Brown JR? He just signed with the Indiana Pacers. Gonna be huge mils contract has been in the sign and this is why we usually see a player going off with their former team just after the championship.

Who would not agree with this deal?

$45M in two years, that's a star contract. He did great on his last run with the Denver Nuggets and I think he deserves it. Yes, they lost a big piece but it gives the opportunity for other players to feel the success of their hard work by receiving a great deal of a contract. I guess it's okay for the Nuggets team. They could still win a championship if they badly want a back-to-back. Do remember, Jamal Murray just got back and yet that happened. If their chemistry strengthens again, they will be more powerful.

Hmm, that might be true. Harden is not the type to play as hard as the Miami Heat when it comes to defense. But maybe that's what they need, someone who is focused on offense because actually in the last series, it was the missing piece of their roster especially when Herro was injured. And they have Bam Adebayo who plays a lot like Joel Embiid, can spot up, post up, and catch the ball mid-air. Harden likes to play with big men and he can easily create chemistry with them. Remember Capela and Embiid.
Plus, I think it is Miami Heat on where he will land because that team was all ready for Dame so they must've prepared a trading block to take another big chess piece.

Thanks, that's more detailed news than what I've seen. Yeah, Bruce should take that contract and that's gonna be an offer that no one can decline. And going there will make him some sort of superstar I guess or a more important player than the current roster that it has got.

Yeah, surprising news as many would have thought that this team will be stronger than before and bonds would be made. After all, this is NBA and it's all about business and taking the best offers that they can take after getting out of their primes.

Kyrie Irving stays with the Dallas Mavericks with a whopping contract of $126M - 3 years or so.

Report: Kyrie Irving staying with Mavericks for $126 million over 3 years

Okay then, that settles for any rumor that has been out for Irving. He'll stay where he are right now and that's a good amount for him to stay. I just wish that he'll get to play with a good chemistry this time around with Luka since last season didn't really look impressive at all.

Reports says Gabe Vincent joining the Lakers,

So this is a great news for the Lakers and Lebron as he will have a good wingman and a 3 point shooter. Plus Gabe has one of the best seasons so far last year with the Heat.

But as the same time, they let go of Dennis as he moves to Toronto. Because Fred VanVleet signing a three-year, $130 million max contract with the Houston Rockets.

I was surprised to see ESPN reporting that Draymond Green signed a 4 year 100 million dollar deal to stay with the Warriors. I can’t imagine that he’ll still be starting for them in four years given his drop off over the last two seasons but I guess he’s earned that money for helping them get the rings they have. Next year with CP3 will be interesting.

Let's momentarily shine the spotlight on Miami Heat. With Harden's chameleon-like game, syncing with Butler and Bam is feasible. He's choreographed this with KD and Kyrie at the Nets, why not a sequel? Lillard's Miami shift is another chapter. But the prospect of Harden and Lillard joining forces in Miami – remote yet spine-tingling
