I do love how silent everyone is about the Sixth Man of the Year going to the reigning champion when certain other players would’ve been crucified, but that’s how easily manipulated NBA fans are by media hype (or lack thereof).
Golden State should look into Kevin Love.

Harrell signed as a free agent. He earned the right to go where he wanted to go. He is not a franchise changing player.

Lets not forget Dennis Schroder. But the Lakers lost Rondo meaning Playoff Rondo and Avery Bradley. Although Bradley did not play in the bubble.

Hey have better post players which will take some pressure off AD and Schroder gives them more offense at the guard position compared to Bradley and Rondo. Matthews helps in that regard also.

I'm a Cavs fan....but since I'm from Akron, I'm also a LeBron fan. And seeing the Lakers dominate free agency is great! Hey, if my Cavs aren't going to win the title, let's get LeBron some more rings!!!

(Please don't hate me everyone lol)

Too late. You are on the chit list. J/K I am a big Lebron fan myself although I don't like the Lakers. The rich get richer with that team. Barring injury, they look like a safe bet to win it all again.

It would be funny if this becomes a Cav 2.0. The season in which they brought in D.wade, D rose, etc.

I think this article is in agreement with you.

"You don't pay someone $30 million per season unless that someone can plausibly carry you to the playoffs on his own or make a meaningful difference for a team that expects to advance several rounds."


^^This!!

Westbrook for John Wall. This seems like a bad trade.

AD signing max deal with Lakers is a given..

Looks like a lose-lose trade to me.
