there's no way that gets them there. the draft picks on a team with Harden/Giannis are basically 2nd rounders, Middleton's contract would be just as much of a problem cap wise as Harden with virtually none of the production to match.

There is always Westbrook.

I wish Leandro were coming to the Suns in this role. It's sad to see former Suns players going to other teams.

Watch the Rockets follow the Suns from a decade back and hire Gentry to take over for D'Antoni. They really have to regret giving away Capela now. That job won't be an easy sell.

that would actually be interesting. Westbrook could get his own shot and shots for others, while Middleton and George Hill would be something Houston might want. But Milwaukee would have to load up on shooters somehow after losing their best two.

There may be some crazy trades with salary max teams trying to piece things together for another run.

If I were Houston I would jump to make this trade.

NBA players will have warm-up shirts displaying "VOTE" for the remainder of Finals.

All-Rookie first and second teams. No Suns.

Murray (25) looking like a superstar in first half.

Clippers 56- Nuggets 54

the Clippers have had some epic choke jobs in the playoffs over the last ten years, but this would be quite possibly the 2nd biggest of all time next to the 73 win Warriors blowing 3-1 to LeBron for the title. But at least that was to LeBron.

I'm impressed by the Nuggets though. Murray and Jokic are legit players.

Nuggets have more ammo if it comes down to that.

I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say Jokic is the best center in the NBA and Murray is the best PG in the NBA win or lose

Nuggets offense is in rhythm and the Clippers realize they can't keep pace.

If Doc doesn’t get fired after this flame out I don’t know what it’s going to take

This isn’t just a collapse, this is EMBARASSING.

as much as I want to see Bron v. Claw, this Clipper team is SUPREMELY unlikable with one of the Morri douchebags on it and after all the trash PG13 and Beverly talked to Dame, watching them blow a 3-1 lead while being favored to win the title is them getting their just desert.

and good God, that team is cursed.

Clippers have no confidence in shooting the ball outside.

Does Kawhi even stay after this year? He signed a 1-1 contract with his option, right?

Kawhi is under contract for next season but has a player option the following season.
