Pretty sure he has a no trade clause in his contract, so he would have had to agree to it. Who knows how much more of a pain that may have been

I got sucked into the Oscar Robertson watch and watched a bunch of Thunder games last year. What a bunch of bullshit.
It was comical watching Kanter and the rest of his teammates box out so Russ could vulture defensive rebounds. Dude finished 5th in the NBA in DRBs and sticks out like a sore thumb amidst a sea of 4s and 5s in the top 20.
Harden was the offensive MVP last season and you could've made a strong case for Kawhi overall if you considered both offense and defense.
I'm not sure Westbrook is even the best player on his own team - George is easily better defensively - and I'm not surprised OKC is still a lower-seed team (currently 7th) despite adding 2 "all-stars" (quotes for Carmelo) given the nature of Westbrook's game.

You need to ask Thibs that because he just loves to let Wiggins have free reign and if that isn't working he'll try to run the offense through Teague/Crawford. Another problem is Teague has problems feeding KAT the ball. He's very piss poor at it.

I think one of the saddest things about Rose's game is that even with all that injury and rehab time, his three point shot hasn't gotten any better.

Some fun stuff, this season. Who would have expected the Blazers at #3 and the Pelicans missing Boogie half the season at #4? I realize there's not much separation between #3 and #10, but that's still a pretty big surprise.

I'm already scheduled to be in NOLA for Jazz Fest the first weekend of May. Very possible for Pelicans and Warriors to be matched up against each other for the second round. I would absolutely go see the Warriors in NOLA for a playoff game. Going with a friend who is a Warriors season ticket holder as well.
The tank is too strong with Memphis. 17 straight losses in a league with a lot of bad teams who have no incentive to win right now. That's impressive.

For the moment, the Spurs are out of the playoffs. Sure, they're two games back of fourth place, but still... shows you just how valuable Kawhi was.

This kid is amazing. Simmons will win ROTY, but my god Mitchell just does magic almost every night.

They've both been pretty incredible. Simmons last night became the third player in NBA history to have 1000/500/500 in his rookie season, joining Magic and Oscar Robertson.

Love checking young NBA fans on this particular stat(s). A majority of fans old and young can ID Stockton as the assist leader but don't know he is leader in steals too. To be an all time leader in 2 of the 5 major statistical categories is not appreciated enough.
