THEE OFFICIAL 2019-2020 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: VICTORY LAP

[freeze]

During an appearance on an esports podcast called Selfmade with Nadeshot, Morey was asked why the Rockets so aggressively pursued Harden in a trade with the Oklahoma City Thunder. His response, as noted by Alykhan Bijani of The Athletic, featured some interesting comments about Harden and Jordan:

Why him?

Both the eye test, because he looks amazing, but if you looked at data at the time, once he had the ball in his hands, and it’s still true to this day, I get a lot of s--- because someone asked me “Who’s a better scorer, him or Michael Jordan?” It’s just factual that James Harden is a better scorer than Michael Jordan now.

Based on the math?

You give James Harden the ball and before you're giving up the ball how many points do you generate, which is how you should measure offense, James Harden is by far No. 1 in NBA history and he was No. 1 even at the Oklahoma City Thunder. It’s just he was coming off the bench and he was a little more hidden. So you needed good data to suss that out. So we knew he had that amazing skill to be a scorer.

People probably aren’t going to like you saying that.

No, people hate it. The counter-argument is reasonable. If you put Michael Jordan on a team now, he would do more than James Harden. That’s possible, but if you’re just saying NBA history, if you give this guy the ball, how much does his team score after you give him the ball before the other team gets the ball, it’s James Harden. I know that makes people mad, it’s just literally a fact.

nba gotta start testing GM's and Presidents pee too.

between this

and

Rob Pelinka 'KCP is Jesus' bread to Isreal' comments

or when Danny Ferry said 'Luol Deng is cool...but he's got some African in him and he might kill you behind closed doors'

Wow that’s crazy. I was right there in that gym (IMPACT) for a couple of his workouts last summer when he was recovering from the Achilles. That’s where he was doing all his rehab work basically. I’m realllly not a fan of the floor there. I could see it not being kind to knees.

 

[alchemist iq]

Smh. Why he wearing those bargain bin Nike revs 2s? Way better options for him to play in.
Also I thought he was with Puma?

Hmmmmm.....

Oh okay.
Sucks the man has to suffer like this.
Once I heard him scream in the video, I knew it was bad and a wrap for him this season.

Boogie's injury is a non-factor. Clippers going undefeated this year so it's a throwaway year for the rest of the league.

Told y’all

How can anyone trust someone with a tattoo'ed hairline?

Why you say dis? Do you know Lakers have GOAT LeBron James and Best Right Now Anthony Davis? Clippers have only loser players....

 

[akajae]

Nah we have Washed LeBald, Always Damaged, and Big Clarkson. Clippers run LA. We’re just renting. Chip or bust.

 

[rolaholic]

 

[sooperhooper]

I wouldn't be mad seeing Dwight back in La. Or Melo either. Might as well add Wade and cp.

 

[Cashflow]

which means she prolly annoying af

 

[keko jones]

Lakers are still #1 to winning it all. Heavily and overwhelmingly favorites.

Say what ya say, the Lakers are suppose to win it all.

Lakers going back to the promise land for sure sure.

 

[hood17]

Why won't the basketball Gods let Boogie be great?

 

[Nipsey3000]

Nobody deserves the injury bug and all...

But am I the only one that remembers boogie as a moody, selfish, money hungry jackass that was a bad teammate in sac?

So now the injuries have plagued him and he's this "good dude"?

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

The Curse of the Boogieman:

LA La-kers
LA La-curse
DeMar-curse Curse-ins

 

[you go boy]

boogie cant catch a break geez

 

[trynafeelmink]

What’s stopping a Sixers/Lakers finals? They’re the clear cut favorites in their respective conferences. It’s really championship or bust for those two...would be a shame if either teams fall short

Can’t wait for the season to start

Damn you mean the dynasty in the making ? da wzrd with all his Assets isn't gonna be running the league for the next ten years?

 

[art vandelay]

Lakers should sign Stoudemire and Melo.

He was very active in the community and his behavior was mostly limited to reactions to foul calls.
