Again, your first paragraph is the same critique of nearly all high-usage scorers like that who are not great shooters.

The idea that he ‘held back’ the Thunder this year is laughable.

The fact so many people dislike Russell Wesbrook absolutely baffles me. We have an athletic freak the likes of which we’ve only seen a handful of times in the league, and he really, really cares about winning. On top of that, he seems interesting and thoughtful, and dresses in ways you wish you could if you didn’t…

They’re actually not that different, except you have to amend it to ‘best player in the NBA in that particular regular season.’

Who are you talking about here? Durant wasn’t better than he was in OKC. He was incredible in both places. Harden became better because he got older, and got a ton of touches. Is Ibaka better now?

This is idiotic.

Paul George is a massive upgrade over Kevin Love. There is nothing that is mad about swapping the two if you can.

Legitimately asking, as I’m probably not forgetting some future draft picks, but how could they have the picks/players to swing a trade for George and KP? The cost for George won’t be as high, but I can’t imagine them having enough left to get KP

A nominally improved KAT and Wiggins along with Butler puts you in the 5-6 range in the West IMMEDIATELY. This was a no-brainer.

I agree that their bias wouldn’t be criminal. That’s not what I said.

We can 100% hold someone criminally responsible if their subconscious biases lead them to act in a way that is unreasonable and reckless, as this officer did.

He was a great scorer. He’s still overrated by the majority of the fans. You can’t be a superstar and miss the playoffs in the East. Period.

I’m a Lebron fan, but do you have examples of free agents who have specifically avoided the East for fear of LeBron? Genuinely asking. I suppose you claim that Durant or Chris Paul could have gone to teams in the East, but that’s making some strange assumptions, I think. And even though Carmelo has long been…

In person, no, but it’s unclear how that question is relevant to your first statement, in which you implied animals in factory farms are slaughtered quickly and humanely. Actually is clear, and the fact is it’s not relevant because:

Under this scenario, do the teams still have to work within the confines of the cap, or would this go along with getting rid of the cap altogether?

You’re an idiot and you’re delusional.

You’re the dumbest person ever who literally does not understand what a metaphor is. Or a straw man. Or hypocrisy.

The fact you think you ‘won’this ‘debate’ while not even understanding the point or what a ‘straw man’ is for 50 comments makes you the most delusional child on Earth.

Words/phrases you literally didn’t know the meaning of until today:

You’re the dumbest person I’ve ever encountered, or the best troll.
