His shape > falling off a cliff
Was meant as a joke when I wrote it. But in all honesty, he looks like he is training in all you can eat buffet atm.
Harden to the Nets
Nets are getting Harden. Wowzer.
THIS GONNA BE GOOD!
I can't wait to see Durant's face the first time Harden plays "defense"
Does this make Kyrie come back? 
Apparently the trade sends Jarett Allen to Cleveland. Poor bloke.

I hope that they didn't do anything stupid.
Edit: Giving up 4 1st, LeVert and Allen. I hope that it works out.

Oof.
Depends on what you mean by "come back". Will he play again? Sure. Will he be sane? Likely never.
Super teams blah blah. This is going to be hilarious.
Its. The. Nets.
This will go well
Lots of moving parts, apparently Lavert flipped for Oladipo to Houston.
Are you Houston trying to build a winning team or rehab centre for serious leg injuries?
Well, this explains his "effort" last night. After that there was no way he could stay.
There is only one ball.
Someone’s going to need to put this into a diagram.
Okay I'm just going to wait until the moving parts have settled.
Adios Harden. Officially the end of an era. It's been an interesting 8 years.

Why would you trade lavert for oladipo?
That's a great question, LeVert is pretty good.
They get 4 first round picks and 4 swaps with the Nets. If it goes badly, and there's a lot of miles on KD and Harden's clocks so it could, that could be a nice haul.
The only thing I can think of is that his contract expires this year.
that's what I'd imagine is the reasoning. Completely blowing it up. PJ Tucker probably next out of the door.
So much for KD leaving the Warriors to build a legacy
Imagine trading Steph, Klay, and Draymond for Harden and Kyrie.
Why would Houston want an expiring contract instead of a valuable asset? Am I missing something, you don't think that they are targetting Leonard for 2021?
Just took a look at the FA class. Yuck. The only intriguing one besides KL, I guess, is John Collins.
I presumed Houston would want at least one star player (either one of the league's best youngsters or someone like Ben Simmons). Not sure Oladipo on an expiring deal, a couple of rotation players and picks, most of which will end up being late first rounders, is much of a deal for Harden.
So true.
So true.That's why I don't get it, George and Leonard were by some distance the best potential FAs, so unless they intend to target Leonard or reset their luxury tax in 2021, I don't see why you would swap LeVert for an older Oladipo that also has a shorter contract.
Oladipo can be flipped before the trade deadline, don't forget. I would expect a Rockets firesale so probably Eric Gordon too.
Is he actually worth more than LeVert?
Wow, that's some trade. Nets have no depth now.
Rockets owner is strapped for cash so I would imagine expiring contracts are more valuable to him, with potential to convert into another draft pick later.
So the Nets are going to be depending on:
KD - Coming of major injury
KI - uhm...
JH - a "bit" out of shape
to play 40 minutes a night because the rest of that roster will be G-Leagues guys. Have fun!
But he doesn't gain any money right now and Levert is currently cheaper, he also could be converted in draft picks later, with the added perks that he gives you more time to find a good offer.

Also De'Andre having to play significant time in the playoffs? Not sure about that.

They'll be an interesting team to follow, that's for sure.
Oh shit, forgot about him. This is REALLY gonna be good!
