The Eastern Conference is shithouse except for the CzzZz. I'm pretty sure the Heat are gonna be alright.

They'll lose to either the Nets or the Celtics.

Hell, if Bynum can get healthy who on the heat can stop him?

And Lebron's been playing straight since the start of last season. He's been indestructible but now every other team wants a shot at these guys, might he have an injury? Already they relied on him too much in the finals.

D-wade? How is he going to be?

I don't see it happening

NBA heads overrate Gallo. I like his game and he has the balls to put up tough shots in the fourth quarter, but whats this nonsense about him being a go to guy at the end of games? I mean, yeah, he has the balls to put up a shot.. but so does Brandon Jennings, and they both shoot under 26% in the last 5 minutes of close games.
and Steve Kerr is out his mind saying Gallo is the second best 3 in the west.

LOL @ the Rockets trading away Lamb for the right to pay Harden an undeserved max deal

Thunder still shouldn't have overpaid Ibaka, but they might be better in the long term if Lamb pans out.

LOL. The Heat will run over the Nets. they dont have the defenders to contain the Heat and they dont have the scorers to keep up with them.

Harden was one of the most efficient shot creators in NBA history last year. The Thunder were terrible on offense with him on the bench and were unstoppable on offense with him in the game.

Lamb is a really good prospect, but I doubt he'll ever reach Harden's level.

I bag on Frauden more than anyone but not even Kevin Martin thinks Kevin Martin is a better basketball player than Harden.

Pretty much in shock.

Really thought they'd at least play the season out with him.

Lamb is promising, and Kevin Martin will provide punch... But Harden will be missed.

He was perfect as the 6th man, I honestly don't think he'll do as we'll as the featured starter.

I'm surprised at how fast Presti decided to trade Harden though. I thought they might keep at it, but it seems Harden was pretty adamant about getting the max.

This is a ridiculous statement. Put him with a bunch of scrubs and his efficiency tanks. He is now "the man" and he'll be exposed

Undeserved? Honestly have no idea how you'd come to that conclusion, I really don't.

I honestly don't know what the Thunder are doing here. The Rockets are going to be fun to watch. Morey finally got his star.

WTF? This is unexpected. I thought they'd try the Big3 one more season. What the hell does this mean for the power rankings? PEACE.

spot up shooters can only do so much without a PG to actually feed them the ball. I wonder if Presti tried to get Lin and someone else for Harden.

Undeserved is probably the wrong word. I don't think he's a max player in that I don't think he's a top 1 or 2 guy on a title team. He certainly deserves the money if there are multiple teams out there willing to give it to him, but on a marginal team like Houston I'm not so sure he will be worth it.

so does it seem that money is all that Harden really cares about? from what i understood, he was only being offered $8 mil shy of the max extension from OKC. is $8 mil over a few years really worth being on a team that isn't contending for a title?
