Mar 28, 2024
Everyone tells me Houston won the trade. What do you think about that? We usually disagree when it comes to Russell Westbrook, but I do agree with you on this one. Let me tell you this from the exchange I've been on. contact with five or six NBA guys some former players some executives exploring things like that everyone likes the trade for Houston and they are mentioning two things that they are suggesting Houston will be able to play much faster with Westbrook, which is true and they are taking bringing up the relationship between russ and james harden they like each other they want this they will make it work I still don't believe it this is a

this is what it feels like to me there is no doubt about it now they are going to be good I mean, They're going to make the playoffs and they're a type of team that I would hate to play because Russ is relentless and just comes at you for 48 minutes and what and uh.

Harden is so good that you know they're going to be a bit of a problem, but can they win the championship? No, I like several teams more than them and the crux of the matter is when Russ and Hardin played together seven years ago. It was completely different, number one, they were both at different stages of their careers, especially Harden, he comes off the bench as a role player, he's now the greatest offensive player of all time, I mean, he's mentioned in the same breath as Michael. Jordan and Will Chamberlain. so everything is different number two, they had Kevin Durant, people acted like it was just those two, they had Kevin Durant who was still one of the five best players in the league even at that time and he made everything work out and then three, the league was different. the three wasn't as prominent so when they played together in okc, when Harden came in he handled the ball and Russ was off the ball which was fine back then because you could have a guy off the ball who could cut you off.

I know and I penetrate and all that, but I couldn't really shoot back then like Dwayne Wade was fine with Lebron playing off the ball with Lebron in Miami. That would be a challenge right now in today's NBA where all three are so prominent, so I don't think it's going to work to the point where they can win a championship, so I see, look, I heard you talk about if not works or when it doesn't work, everyone will blame Russ, you did a great job. point about difficult because if it were to work, Harden would have the best chance to make it work.

Thank you because his game is more versatile. I think Russ alone in a Mike D'Antoni system would be treacherous to opponents like him. a high pick and roll with the floor spread and shooters around him, he never had that in okc so I think he would be dangerous in that, but Hart won't just sit there without the ball, but Harden is more capable I think . playing without the ball than Russ is that Russ is not going to be very effective without the ball because he doesn't shoot well and that's where Harden, but look, everyone talks about how they like each other and want it to happen.

Harden and Chris like each other. They may not have been as close as Russ and Hardin, but Chris didn't pull

out of a hat. Remember that they had resolved everything well. He calls the Clippers. Hey, I want you to trade me for the rockets, don't do it. I don't think I didn't speak out strongly and they said yes, we'd be great together etc. and Harden didn't change his game one bit, thank you, which surprised me like I was surprised to see Chris Paul off the ball. as a two-guard, that's what he was with Hardin for the most part, yeah, and if he didn't trade him for Chris, how much are he going to trade him for Russia?
So there were reports and Daryl Mori denied them that Chris Paul and James Harden everything is fine and it seems to me that everything, the reporters were fine, it was not very good, right, no, apparently they had to make the move. My first order of business, if I were Daryl Morey, would have been to sit Chris down and James go one on one and try to figure it out and if I get some traction then I'll get you guys together with Mike D'Antoni, how can we tweak this and make does it work like that? That's why I said it was

Mary, they panicked for no reason, now I understand, the Lakers and the Clippers are really good and professional now and I think it would have been better if Houston had been even with CP3 and Harden, but two years ago this worked, you had the Warriors defeated 3. 2 if chris ball doesn't get hurt maybe you're the world champion last year you lost to golden state which was even without k.d they were a great team they may very well have been the second best team in the nba in recent times two years and once they lost the g-state they just panicked, they were obsessed with the g-state and they also let everything out and daryl mori is fascinating because he is the poster boy for analytics, right? and I'm with you, I like analytics manalytics is a part of this, but it's not going to dictate everything I do, but he completely ignores analytics when it comes to moves, I mean Chris Paul, Jimmy Butler, who I don't they got, but I wanted Carmelo Anthony, Dwight Howard, none of those moves make sense analytically and you.
I have an analytics coach who just wants to shoot threes and paint shots, it's weird, what's going on, okay, so Joy touched on this Chris Paul trade. Is there a place that suits you? You know what I mean, obviously Miami is serious. to play which would be good for Chris, they wouldn't be a contender in the east, but they would be better and they would be pretty good. Here's the setting that really intrigues me and I mentioned it. here once before about three or four weeks ago okay philadelphia you sound like my staff okay this morning chris paul josh richardson al horford joel embiid and tobias harris in the east that's dangerous okay so what am I giving up ben simmons okay now here's the What I love is that you did it okay timeout this is where my staff didn't give me that option let me finish this let me finish this okay so I'm surprised you like it let Ben Simmons give him me and I, I don't. a big ben simmons hates a movie but chris we both love him but philadelphia works well with shooters in a clear lane philadelphia has bigger ones this year certain philadelphia doesn't work for ben simmons, right?
I have Horford in the middle. they beat them in the middle, they drafted a kid from washington who can't shoot but is a great defensive player, tobias harris because even if simmons adds the jump shot, it's not like he'll come back next year like klay thompson, by the way, Yes I'm Sam Presti this morning and I've got those draft picks and I've got Ben Simmons, yeah I feel like I won well, I've got my guy that can penetrate and kick and I'm going to build shooters around him and here he is now if I'm Philadelphia , look, there's a little bit of hesitation because Chris averaged 15 points last year and shot 41 42 from the floor for him.
If I'm Philadelphia, I might want to look at the first month of the season and see what that decline was. last year just because there was an injury and the situation and it tightened up or Chris really went down okay so if the deal goes through it would be embiid horford jason richardson tobias harris chris paul guy there's not a lot of blanks on that one team now again, I Chris had to play about 60 games, but again, Chris doesn't exactly need to be your closer, he doesn't need to be the floor general, get the right guys, the ball, you've got a shooter in Josh Richardson , Tobias Harris can shoot, I've got my man in.
I mean, Horford can actually stretch the floor and shoot too. He is a smart veteran. Let me tell you something. I take back all the bad things I said about Sam Presti. If he did that, I got it because here's the deal with Simmons. Now Presti can hold on. ben simmons and says listen i know what he is now he's a scoring driver now i can take all these draft picks and get shooters the problem in philadelphia is that simmons was the best player available on the market they drafted him well but he they had embiid so they had their best player Embiid and they had whipped a bunch of guys so there was a star in the middle but then in the next draft they said oh Simmons is the best player available so that we get it, they don't. work together well and honestly the real problem and you just have to put the blame where it belongs Ben Simmons how this is their 4th or 5th year well no one from a year away wasn't hurt so this would be their 3rd third year playing. but fourth year in the league because remember the year he was out why didn't you work on that jump shot?
I get it, you were successful your whole life without him, but it's a different NBA. I'm going to tell you something right now. I'm organizing a parade in OKC if they make that video for OKC it's great the question is Philly and I get the questions like I said it's not 100 foolproof okay this is what I want this is what I want but I want Chris Paul , but you have 17 selections. Give me two first-round picks, I'll do it, but you have to give me pictures, yeah, because by the way, you got it. I need insurance, well yeah, I mean Oklahoma City now has so many picks it's absurd that guys can.
They're not all on the list, so just say, listen, I want three first-round picks and Chris Paul, because of the knee, you get Ben Simmons, I work on both teams, I'll do it tomorrow, that's brilliant. You know, if my team could present ideas as well as you, I would. I've heard them, what's going on? And they still have Schroeder. Okay, yes, they do. Maybe Chris Paul and Schroeder. Because that gives me Shooter and it gives me insurance in case Chris Paul brought smoke today. Hello, Sam Presley. I hope you're listening like I said. Good. Do it, it makes all the sense in the world.
I would love it for them. The question is Philadelphia and there are some legitimate questions, but if you want to beat Philadelphia in Win Now mode, how good would that team be in the East every time? get to the finals oh yeah i think they would be favorites over milwaukee yeah yeah yeah they would be chris
