Wait. Wizards turned down Beal and Singleton for Harden?

Are you kidding me?

Harden wanted a lot of money man.  

Yet the Wizards decided to take on the contracts and corpses of Okafor, Nene, and Ariza......

[rosegoldsluggs]

Theres no way that was the final deal. They probably wanted more and an experienced vet.

Am I the only person in the S&T forum who's actually watched Lebron play live in High School?

I was a freshman in high school while Lebron was a Junior.
Only reason why I'm bringing it up is because it didn't really occur to me how big of a deal that was until my boy who watched him live with me brought it up. I remember the one thing we all first noticed about Lebron was how much more bigger he was then everybody else on the Benedictine High squad, he really would just plow through everybody on the floor. Dude was seriously a man-child compared to everyone else.
Keep in mind, no one even knew at that point that he would be playing for the Cavs 2 years later.

I've seen him play in HS multiple times. AT you gotta few years on me I was in 6th grade when he was a senior, and I saw him play in his senior night at SVSM. It was crazy though his mom didn't show up, and the parents for all of the other players were there... So Bron's 4 best friends walked him out to the court. it was pretty

I also saw him play in Cleveland for the HS All American Game

CP3 was there too

Chris and Bron were real cool in HS....Bron gave Chris his McD's jersey and chris wore it to school.....I was like 

....Chris was the #1 PG coming out but you would never know cause he was mad cool...not arrogant like most folks with those kind of accolades

[rosegoldsluggs]

Raptors getting the #1 pick followed by the Wizards at #2 

They are horrible

 

[mronegative]

The way the Raps been going, they'll get the 4th and 5th pick.

 

[jaeevolution]

Raptors are tanking the wrong year, man...

 

[essential1]

Well better to keep that #1 pick now.

 

[Deleted member 38182]

Don't the Thunder own the Raptors pick???? I'm sure its protected though

Yea it was included in the Harden trade.

Its top 3 protected tho I think.

Toney Douglas

 

[airjordan jb23]

The official just tried to block Humphries at the FT line in the Nets / Raptors game

I think there was a sub coming in & he tried to stop Humphries from shooting it

vid?

 

[scotthallwithapick]

Didn't understand NONE of this

 

[Deleted member 38182]

Didn't understand NONE of this

If the Raptors land anywhere in the lottery outside of the top 3, then its OKC's pick

 

[rosegoldsluggs]

Im rooting for the raptors to win some more games. I dont want OKC to land another star player they will be set for another 5 to 10 years

Hopefully a pick late in the lottery since this upcoming draft is weak

 

[pmatic]

Didn't understand NONE of this

Basically, if the pick is between 4-14 then it's OKC's.

 

[Nawzlew]

Warriors need to close this out.
