Re: #RossIsBoss

Kobe - Age should be considered here but ya.
Wade - One of inclining the other is declining. Won't be long I'd say.
Lebron - ...
Cp3 - ...
Durant - ...
Melo - idk I hate Melo so I'll with-hold my comment here. PS Melo sucks
Howard - on defense maybe? Howard's a whiny bitch though. Fuck him.
Rose - We'll see how he plays upon his #Return
Westbrook - idk, I kinda would almost rather have Harden. Westbrook is a glory hog at times.

Re: #RossIsBoss

What do you mean age should be considered in regards to Kobe? Neither is in their prime and Harden's athleticism benefits him as much as Kobe's experience does(lol no it doesn't but yeah).

Dwight has always been a 20 PPG scorer, if he wasn't such a shit free throw shooter he would actually be pretty great on offense.


Westbrook is probably the best defensive point guard in the league, which is saying a lot considering how many great point guards there are in the league right now. He's ability to score is great as well, not to mention he's shown he can be a playmaker this year and two years ago.

You would take Harden over Melo? It is rather close I suppose, but I'd still take Melo as the better scorer for now. Melo is in his prime though while Harden is only 23.


can we just praise Presti for a second? He's DRAFTED three of the top 10 players in the league. that's ridiculous.

Well I was looking a bit beyond just who's better. Kobe's better sure. But for how long?

If Dwight was good on offense he would absolutely dominate, and he doesn't...

His back to the basket game leaves a lot to be desired. He scores a good chunk of his points on uncontested dunks and about 6 points at the foul line (of a possible 10 to 15 lulz).

Westbrook is great by me until he starts chucking.

YES! Melo is an idiot. Waiting around for Garnett, fucking idiotic. Among all the other drama he's done in his career. A lot less than others but the dude still is a princess. Plus he's a selfish player.

Re: #RossIsBoss

In regards to Melo/Harden: They're both elite scorers who can take the game over at will, but Harden's a much better playmaker for his teammates. Both are average on defense, but Harden has the ability to get a steal if necessary, and his knack for drawing fouls and converting FTs is fantastic. He's a damn good rebounder for a SG, as well.

Harden is also more efficient. He had 46 on 19 attempts tonight. Melo can shoot you out of a game.

Re: #RossIsBoss

I forgot to mention this earlier, but the fact Marcus was only worth a second is sad considering the players the Rockets picked before him; namely Leonard, Vucevic, Shumpert, and Faried. Faried in particular since he would have given them exactly what they want right now on their team.

Re: #RossIsBoss

My thoughts about the Kings/Rockets trade, to quote Sir Charles :barkley, "Turrible." I can't believe the Kings gave up on Robinson that quick. The dude was able to grab rebounds with limited playing time too. We will see if this was a good trade for them or another dumb move from Petrie and the Maloof brothers. If Robinson becomes a beast in the future, I will be pissed. With Francisco Garcia gone, we no longer have any links to the last Kings playoff team. I wonder if its an omen....

Re: #RossIsBoss

The trade was beyond awful, especially to give up on a prospect they barely played so early. the other reason why is just as dumb, why the fuck are they using a rookie on the first year of their contract as a salary dump move. that's mind boggling.
