So apparently James got pissed at Moses Malone Jr over a FB post and had some dudes beat his ass outside a strip club. Nice to see James with a little fight in him.

Sorry Derrick, GS is nowhere near a super team.

His Facebook post was great. He will be successful in his next venture. He will be tough to replace.

Rudy Gay anyone?

He'd be a nice addition if he can accept being a role player. It think it'll mean Brewer never sees the court again and that isn't a bad thing.

Rudy Gay is bad. He just is. As attractive as his measurables and athleticism are, year in and year out he is just an inefficient player.

Well this USA game is a slaughter, but all things considered, our draft pick looks pretty good.

Wow, the Internet hates the leaked pictures of Harden's new shoes....and I can't say I blame them. The shoes look hideous.

Quick: James Harden's shoes or my FIL's gout shoes:

Beasley traded to Milwaukee for Tyler Ennis

GARBAGE trade. We're gonna suck.

Hmmm...we needed PG depth, but Beasley was our main scorer behind Harden at the end of last season. This a sign of progress with D-Mo?

So Harden is our only remotely reliable scorer now. Neat.

They must be pretty damn sure D-Mo is coming back and probably felt like Beasley was at his peak in terms of value. Better depth at the PG position with Ennis behind Bev instead of Prigioni. Must not have a lot of faith in Payton Jr. either

Can you wait 5 more weeks to be negative?

We also got Anderson and Gordon. Let's see how it plays out.

Forgot about them, my bad. But are you actually optimistic about this year?

How is that different between the last several years?

Dwight was <14 last year and <16 the year before.

Very similar to what Eric Gordon & Ryan Anderson have averaged the last few years.

I'm coming in with zero expectations, so the likelihood of me being disappointed is very small. Hopefully the Rox will at least be fun to watch. The 2010-12 teams that were pretty middling were at least not a beating to watch play.

Hope they keep John Lucas around to keep Bobby Brown in check.

That announced roster will be lucky to win 41 games. Don't have many expectations for coach boyardee

But ya, it's times like these that I have to remind myself that James Posey was once a key player on our team. So I could be worse.

I think we'll improve from 2015-16. I don't think we're championship worthy, but 50 wins is where I see us assuming we stay mostly healthy.

So Harden starting point? Sounds like a role he's been playing all along but Dantoni making it a little more official.

We might give GSW a run for their money on 3 pointers this season. I'm hoping Dekker can play well.

My expectations going in to last season really ruined last season for me (the team being inconsistent and always on the verge of falling apart didn't help). This year I have no expectations. I think this team is going to be a lot of fun to watch and maybe get back in to the playoffs as a 7 or 8 seed. Sure we will probably scoe 130 and lose a few times but it will be entertaining to see us try to play fast and shoot a bunch of 3's now that we actually have some shooters.

Call me crazy but if Ryan Anderson, Eric Gordon and Sam Dekker can stay healthy, I can see this team winning 50 games. Everything I've heard from inside the front office has been extremely positive with regards to both Gordon and Anderson. Capela has also developed a ton this offseason.
