2020-2021 NBA Season Thread : The James Harden Trade Simulator

BUT WHO CARES WE GOT THE DUB 2ND BEST RECORD IN THE LEAGUE BAAAY-BEEEEEEEEE

[Krandor]

Apparently Booker called the ref a bitch in response to his first T which is why he got the second and the ejection.

[Andalusian girls]

well maybe the ref shouldn't have been such a little bitch

[Andalusian girls]

Shaq's basketball knowledge is embarrassingly bad some of these old heads really living in the stone age. Wade couldn't ever even shoot 3's and still sees what the game is.

[Moss]

Yeahhh, chuck and shaq can be good for lulz but it would be nice to have some basketball knowledge on the team aside from Kenny. Candace clearly knows her shit and Chuck alone is fine for comic relief

Shaq just doesn't fill a good role. Chuck and Shaq are primarily comic relief, but Chuck is just so much better at it, is actually capable of admitting when he's wrong, and doesn't get hung up on weird personal vendettas against certain players.

Also yes Candace is fantastic, I'd assume she's going to be around for as long as she wants along with Draymond Green once he retires from playing (since he's clearly prepping for it and was fantastic when he stepped in last year)

Lakers are not good without AD. I don't think they would get out of the first round without him.

Draymond on TV completely changed how I felt about him. Want more.

[Andalusian girls]

yeah Dray's a thoughtful speaker and lowkey an absolute genius re BBall IQ, especially defensively. this was my first exposure to Candace but she's a p sharp cookie herself, that quickfire math made me lolz. be good to see those two eventually replace the old-timers.

[Andalusian girls]

Chuck's gonna be difficult tho hard to find an equal ham in all sports media

[Krandor]

Yeah Chuck is basically irreplaceable, especially with how comfortable he is with being made fun of.





Legendary shit

[Boyiee]

I can do without dwade.

[kisada]

shaq is a gigantic moron and i've detested him for years. unfortunately his idiocy plays really well to the crowd, so i doubt he'd ever be taken off.

never seen draymond on panel. what i do know though is chris bosh is fucking fantastic whenever he gets to be on.

Without AD, the Lakers are basically one of LeBron's old Cav teams.

As much as I liked Draymond on TV, I'd prefer him getting some sort of coaching or player development position at GS. He seems to already be pretty good at helping develop some of the players.

Just saw a story about him studying and sending film to Nico Mannion (one of Warriors' rookie/G league guys for those that don't follow them closely). And just hearing about what he does for others like James Wiseman

yeah that's a good point a lot of the sharper analyst cats go the coaching route or get poached to that world a la Kerr. Candace and Dray could prolly get positions p easy on a number of staffs if they want once they retire.
