Man, I sure hope so. The last 8 years or so have been rudderless.

All aboard! The Love train!
So is Gerald Green an NBA player now? I'm not watching a Nets game to find out for myself.

Harden will probably get the max. His efficiency is legendary and some teams that are struggling will feel that he'll be able to get up to 20-22 PPG without Durant and Westbrook.
pilon was right then. next joe johnson indeed

Dat Nerlens Noel with only 5 points and 4 boards @ the hoop summit vs Shabazz's 35 points.

Yeah, but he's already better than Joe Johnson was in 2010 and Harden still could improve.
If he can get up to 22-5-5 on 61% TS%, I think a lottery team would consider that worth a max contract.
Noel outplayed Shabazz as did most players. Shabazz played pretty horrible really, unbelievably bad decision making and destroyed his team's offense.
If he puts up 22-5-5 I can see a team giving it on potential...but if he signs a max deal as the main cog and puts up 22-5-5 every year that's not worth it then. Unless the team's winning that is...but I doubt a team wins with its main cog only putting up those numbers

He probably wouldn't be that great as a first-option, but if like Cousins or Monroe or Favors has a monster year next year and their teams decide their guy is now a star and now they need a second option...Signing Harden for the max wouldn't be that bad of a move at all.

Hard to say what Hardens ceiling is given the talent around him. I think he has the potential to be better than Gordon...who averaged like 24 ppg at one point...
Hard to even consider giving him the max but lottery teams are so desperate for talent now that they don't really have a choice...

LOL.
I would say that he had already quit before that
That he did. Though if he had stayed in LA, I am pretty sure he could turn it around.

I don't think I've ever seen anything so bitch-made, damn. Quiting on the defending champs instead of going for the FU ring, smh.
Its kinda sad really... Odom's been through a lot of shit. This is probably just the result of reaching the boiling point.

If it isnt something serious off the court, he is a bitch.

I think part of the problem is that he couldn't differentiate personal and business. If he couldn't understand that he was being traded for CP3, then I don't know what to tell him.
His kid dying, that manslaughter issue, fucked up upbringing... yeah, he's lashing out in a bit of an extreme way instead of getting real help - but this is far from Deewighting

Had his best season last year, with all that on his back.
Something new probably happened. But I dont think the old baggage did him in. His limited role probably has something to do with it.
Yeah dude has had serious issues/crap happen in his life. Moving around with all of that just probably took it's toll.
Lol

His cousin died then on the way to the funeral (IIRC) the driver of the car he was in killed a kid.
That happened in the offseason, sent him over the edge Lakers fo traded him then it fell through and it pushed his emotions in 6th gear.
Dude needs help.

I don't think anyone disagreed on trading Lamar if he asked for it, but damn... all we got was a trade exception we didn't use.

Still have time to use the exception.
I wonder if LO would be interested in coming back or if that bridge has been burned.
He did consider taking a year off but his wife convinced him otherwise. So she has to take some blame as well.

I hear Kobe's already trying to convince LO and FO to bring him back.
People don't really work like that. They can ride with the level of shit in their system for years the lose it when they get a regular coke instead of diet.
He was past due. And he really should've taken that year off.

That is clearly a 10 second violation. Shouldn't have counted.

Dallas still has the ability to trade him in the offseason. He probably ends up somewhere undesirable for a draft pick or something. I wouldn't want to give back Dallas' trade exception for him in case Mitch can get a wing or guard for it instead.
If he reaches free agency then I'd want him back. Its too risky to give up an asset for him.
I'd have zero confidence in Mike Brown's ability to utilize him properly either. He has no clue how to manage guys like that.

iirc, we have until december 2012 to use the trade exeption.
come home, lamar.

Don't see why he'd trade one 1st round fodder team for another, but sure whynot

Brown has trouble using anyone. It would more or less be up to the players assimilating LO. I think LO as point forward with Metta Ebanks Blake and Bynum would be alright.
But he's forever inconsistent.
Shit. That's imaginative.

No Dwight for tonight's game against the Pistons. Probably out for tomorrow's game too with the back spasms.
But it looks like Ryan Anderson is back tonight. Yay!
