Another one bites the dust.

2021 looking like 2020 right now. If Leonard opts out it will only be to resign back in LA with the Lakers.

Paul isnt opting out. The rest of the names are like, ehh, just names.

Yeah I knew "waiting on Giannis" would be a mistake...Good thing Schlenk did too..Hell, some people were actually talking about "waiting for Oladipo"..lol

There is no 2021 FA that we are missing out on. Trade market is going to be where its at if we want to add another big piece.

More than that, teams are going to focus on keeping their guys now that he is off the table. They wont need the cap room anymore. Domino effect that will further dry up the pool.

This may effect us and Collins negotiations too. Less suitors could mean John goes ahead and signs his deal.

So much for all that talk about him becoming a Hawk.

I called that one out from the jump. I only recently even entertained the idea of him actually leaving Milwaukee. I always saw him as a guy that would stay put.

Crazy that all these teams go after one player! I mean I get it but I don’t !

especially teams like the Knicks who literally had no shot at him. Knick fans are oddly upset as well apparently.

This is juicy re: Harden and Houston. (I just hope the Hawks aren't run like this when it comes to Trae, stars get preferential treatments, I get that, but there still has to be some discipline to it all)

James Harden and the Houston Rockets are at a breaking point

Quote

THE HOUSTON ROCKETS' culture in the James Harden era, which bridges two owners and now four head coaches, might be best summed up by a former staffer's three words:

"Whatever James wants."

Unless they were on the front end of a back-to-back set, it was essentially a sure thing that the Rockets stayed overnight -- or even an extra day -- after games in Los Angeles, Phoenix and other road cities that rank among Harden's favorite stops.

If the Rockets had two or three days between games, it was a good bet Harden would call for an off day and charter a private jet to party in Las Vegas or another city. He always gets an excused absence from the first practice after the All-Star break for the same reason.

"Just James being James," those currently within the franchise say. But these circumstances are drastically different than at any previous point of the perennial All-Star's eight-year Houston tenure.

Dammit.  He's gotten really hard to like.   Houston is screwed.

Well, considering all the titles he's delivered to Houston, I see no problem with them treating him like he's got Lebron's resume.

Oh boy!

2021 FA Class officially a dud.  DeRozan and Oladipo are the cream of the crop next offseason.

TS played this offseason FAcy well.
