WOW Laker fans - talk about going trick-or-treating at Sam Presti's front door
Kevin Martin cannot guard Kobe what-so-ever…this trade will preserve Kobe’s energy …Harden was a serious playmaker and made Kobe work on both ends……it makes OKC weaker overall because their bench is significantly weaker and their speed is now reduced……Thabo will have to play more and this will hurt OKC’s spacing…. and allows Dwight more ability to recover and protect the paint….glad Daquan Cook was in the deal also he was a big-time Laker killer…No more worrying about Harden,Westbrook and Durant on the floor at the same time. That was a ing killer line-up tbh…Harden was their main facilitator and bail-out player when Durant or Westbrook struggled or got in foul trouble. It was the perfect combination of PG, SG, and SF….and to be honest very hard to stop. Harden could play the 2 and 3 spots Martin cannot. Harden was also durable Martin is not...They lost to Miami because they were young and not quite ready for the bright lights. Kevin Martin is a far easier mark for Kobe because he’s one pretty one dimensional and is an atrocious defensive player. With Harden gone we can now put Kobe on Westbrook and Nash on Martin….
REGULAR SEASON
OKC offense w/James Harden: 114.96 points per 100 possessions
OKC offense w/o James Harden: 100.84 points per 100 possessions
PLAYOFFS
OKC offense w/James Harden: 115.13 points per 100 possessions
OKC offense w/o James Harden: 102.46 points per 100 possessions
Let's not kid ourselves this is a huge loss for OKC....especially in the short term the next 2-3 yrs...Durant and Westbrook already don't like playing defense and to add Martin to that mix is laughable. They can no longer run Harden and Shefalosa at Kobe defensively...and with Dwight along to get Perkins into foul trouble this will open up a mountain of opportunity going forward...I'm pretty excited...Spur fan should be too...this doesn't make a dime a dozen difference for Dallas they still have projections as a team.
Let me summarize what kool said in a few words...
I'm a got
and lol at pinkaids man saying KD doesn't like D. face, he's a borderline elite wing defender.
hey my friend
and@ Durant being a borderline elite wing defender...perhaps a borderline Chicken Wing defender....
Borderline elite? He's not Kevin _urant but he's not LeBron tier either
Yeah, okay, he's not Lebron, but he's no slouch. His wingspan makes him solid
Kool with the rare goods.

And yet he's still puny. Post up on him - toast.
, Brooks had him defending Chalmers. Result? 25 points in Game 4.
also Lebron is overrated defensively...sure he gets excited when he guards a PG but he has no real compe ion at the SF spot in this watered down league...Lebron gets easily discouraged on Defense..you put a great scorer on him like Durant and Lebron will ask Shane Battier to guard him...Lebron shy's away from guarding players that don't respect him or that has great scoring abilities...just watch that when he plays..he's overrated defensively....man I wish he ran into a Prime Kobe - you know the Kobe that destroyed the Spurs from 2000-2006....he would have ran Le_Hype's overrated ass outta the ing gym...
LeBron always had Big Z/Varejao/Bosh to cover up for him. Defensive wings aren't as important as defensive bigs.
Someone on twitter brought up they could SnT Lin to the Clippers if CP3 wanted out next summer. Don't even know if that would work or if the Clippers are that stupid.
Lebron would butt a prime Kobe. Just like he butt s him now.
Lin wouldn't have that 8 mill cap hit then.
Not that I'm trying to advertise or plug for my here...but the day I see Lebron defending (multiple positions) like this..is the day I give him credit for being a great defensive player...fact is he doesn't go out of his way to guard the team's best opposing player...

Lebron would butt Kobe..but Kobe would kill Lebron...would you prefer to be killed or butt ed....
rayray...i take it you prefer butt ing...
Come to Pappy..

This is disputable:
Somewhere the Black Mamba is peering from behind the deep foliage....staring at the piece of Martin meat walking near by and sharpening his venomous fangs..According to @mySynergySports, Kevin Martin is in the 16th percentile for defense (terrible). Harden is 61st percentile, which is really good
Ibaka has developed an offensive game and has been hitting the boards. Pay attention this year.

Ibaka bites on pump fakes, just like how thunderup bites on trolls, tbh
Koolaid_Man: I think even Danny Green might have a career game on KMart tbh
K-Mart weighs a hefty 180 lbs while Harden is a 220....Kobe gonna be eating Turkey all season and so should Manu if he's smart
thunderup is luva; I don't know why people still try to reason with him imo
Still cannot believe that happened.
lemme explain what u bout to see....Andrew Bynum gone...Bynum couldn't even out run Porkins...whereas Dwight has the foot speed to stay with point guards..this is our main advantage now...When Porkins fouls out trying to Guard Dwight will they put Ibaka on Dwight and free up Gasol? Ibaka won't be getting no boards with Dwight in there... Dwight is the fastest big man the league has ever seen...and he's bout to get his fourth D-POY
