This is absurd. If a conservative had posted it nobody would have cared, just like nobody cared when Lina posted it from her personal account.Aggie09Derek said:
Million times better than the Lina tweet. What a joke.
If some conservative judge had posted what she did....people would have gone ballistic.

This is just my take but I don't buy that report for one minute.
It has been well reported for almost a year that Kyrie has had personal frustrations over the NBA playing during times of "social injustice" and during the pandemic.
I read the report that he was frustrated with Nets ownership but it said that it initially started when the front office didn't consult him on the Nash hiring (I don't believe that) and that he didn't sign off on the Harden trade (more believable but NBA insiders had said Durant, Harden and Kyrie had talked about teaming up well before anyone was there).
Just my opinion. Doesn't affect the Rockets anymore once the trade is completed.
Well said. I am certainly someone who has soured on James over the last few months but this is good perspective.k20dub said:
I know the last couple of months soured us on Harden, but I will miss watching him dominate every night. Unlike most stars, he never took a night off and rarely had "load management". Obviously, his playoff shortcomings will be his legacy in Houston, but he helped make us a contender for several years. Will never forget about how pumped I was when we were up 3-2 against GS, but Paul hurt his hamstring. It's literally all been downhill since that night. Hopefully this is a new age for Rockets basketball...

OK Roger Ebert, why don't you do better?
You know what would work? Get James Harden and Kyrie Irving on the same team!CoachRTM said:
So here's the real question.
What are we doing to sabotage the Nets? If they become the worst team in basketball we get top 5 picks for the next 7 years....
We need a mole.

"Well first off" I was just trying to have some fun - I didn't put a ton of thinking into it. I was just thinking about a fat cokehead who was really good but not well-rounded (figuratively), and that's the first guy that popped into my head...but thank you for the thoughtful analysis.Good Poster said:Harry Dunne said:

Well first off, if James Harden were an "actor" then he would be up for the "Best Actor" award at the academy awards which would be the equivalent of the MVP, which he has already won.
Second, "Best Film" would be a team award and equivalent to an NBA Championship, which no he has not won yet.
Third, I get the bad ending but are we really saying he "can carry a niche movie" and that's it? He is going to go down in history as one of the most prolific scorers in NBA history.

For Oladipo, anything is better than him walking for nothing after this season.
This makes sense, or Stone figured Oladipo is kind of a nobody so he wont try to throw his weight around like James did.CFTXAG10 said:
I'm thinking Stone knew this when he made the trade. Easier to flip Oladipo to a contender than Levert
