I am a big fan of Damian Lillard but I agree with James Harden saying he understands that each team, especially his current team would as much as possible look for the best deals. I would love to see Dame land in Miami but the NBA management makes sense. If players are allowed to talk a lot and make threats on deals in public, it would make fans believe that smaller teams and less attractive cities are really at a big disadvantage.
Anyways, I cannot wait for both Lillard and Harden to get transferred to other teams so we can have clearer views of the teams for the coming season. I smell doom on Miami if they cannot get Lillard as it did not match and traded some of its players in order to create space. Philly might be also in the same situation too if it cannot acquire reliable players as Harden's replacement.
This will hurt their chemistry so badly but the good part is PG13, Westbrook, and Harden have been teammates before so it almost balances the big change if ever they get Harden. I think that's what's going to happen with Miami though, but at least they could still have Butler and Bam if the trade for Lillard materialized. And some of their role players have left as well for more lucrative contract so obviously they are in rebuilding phase and a Dame addition will be great for them. So same case with Clippers, money wise, if they get Harden, most of there bench like you mentioned, will be depleted. So it's hard for management for decide in how they are going to balance their teams if ever they get Harden to Clippers and Lillard to Miami Heat. The Miami Heat retained Butler and Adebayo as its core and wanted to build around them except if they can successfully attain Damian Lillard which could create a trio of superstars. I strongly believe that Pat Riley and coach Spo won't agree for the team to go into a rebuilding phase if they cannot get Lillard. If the management decides to rebuild the team then I am pretty sure Butler and even Adebayo will leave or request for trades. Butler is in his 30s already and he might not want to waste his remaining years in a rebuilding team. The Clippers are in an odd situation. I am not even sure if Kawhi and PG13 are big assets anymore. Maybe PG13 still carries a good value but I am doubtful about Kawhi Leonard. Imagine if they get Harden and still retain Kawhi and PG13 but both of them can only play several games in a season? It is no different when Harden landed in Brooklyn with 2 big superstars yet we seldom saw them playing together due to injuries and other issues on Kyrie.

Bleach Report; The worst contracts in the NBA.
1)Bradley Beal (4 Years 208 Million Dollars) 2)Ben Simmons(2 Years 78 Million Dollars) 3)Duncan Robinson(3 Years 57.4 Million Dollars) 4)Rudy Gobert(3 Years 131.5 Million Dollars) 5)KAT(5 Years 271 Million Dollars)
I agree with all of them except Duncan Robinson.
I think Ben Simmons has the worst contract. This contract is too much for him. I don't think Ben Simmons will ever get these contracts again.
I understand that Ben Simmons's agent is trying to hype him that he is already battle ready and posting some photos in the social media about how serious he is while putting up the work in his body but the thing is, they have been saying that for I think 2-3 seasons now, yet he is still failing every step along the way. I think the biggest reason why they are doing this is they want to get another contract but the trouble about that is that nobody in the league is interested on him anymore. The man is just a defensive player and nothing else, cannot even shoot a ball in a simple lay-up.

I think he's done and it will be a huge credit to his agent if he gets a decent deal despite all the drama. It should be obvious that his problem is his mentality but where can I see those "work in his body"? I tried youtube but all I can see are old videos. If he's not mentally fit yet then at least they should show any improvement in his shooting form. That could give teams a little confidence.

NBA sent a memo regarding the Damian trade request and they basically said it's open season and he can't just pick a team to go to. He wants only Miami but the NBA said that any team is free to send offers and that means it is going to be a bit weird going forward. After all a player has a right not to play anywhere they want but that doesn't mean that he can pick just a single team with an expectation to actually go there. If that were to happen then it means teams would have to pay insane amount of money to players and then send them wherever they want, which won't work.
So all in all, maybe there is a chance Dame goes somewhere else, he could still reject it if he wants to but usually teams trade whoever they want to wherever they want as we all know.

Anyway, about James Harden, I think the Clippers are still the aggressive one who wants him. But it will cost them a lot of good roleplayers and that includes Nicolas Batum who is known for his great defense, Norman Powell might also be included with it, and then Terance Mann who is a rising young player that is also effective on both ends of the floor. This will hurt their chemistry so badly but the good part is PG13, Westbrook, and Harden have been teammates before so it almost balances the big change if ever they get Harden.
If I'm not mistaken, Harden also said he'd prefer to only be traded to the Clippers. So I wonder if the NBA has already warned Harden like they recently warned Lillard. As for a potential trade, the Clippers' chemistry might temporarily be worse with Harden coming in. However, I don't think the inclusion of Batum in the deal will have much of an impact on the Clippers because he's well past his prime. Good point. I forgot about that. He also wished to be with the Clippers team and yet we didn't hear anything from the NBA after that. Inconsistency, which is why nobody listens to them. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Past his prime, that's true but I disagree with the trading of Batum, he is still a good defender despite his age. He is long and a veteran which means the more experience the better they are at defending especially the guys at his same height. He is still a good roleplayer if they need someone to shoot outside or just focus on defending someone tall like KD or Luka. Bleach Report; The worst contracts in the NBA.
1)Bradley Beal (4 Years 208 Million Dollars) 2)Ben Simmons(2 Years 78 Million Dollars) 3)Duncan Robinson(3 Years 57.4 Million Dollars) 4)Rudy Gobert(3 Years 131.5 Million Dollars) 5)KAT(5 Years 271 Million Dollars)
I agree with all of them except Duncan Robinson.
I think Ben Simmons has the worst contract. This contract is too much for him. I don't think Ben Simmons will ever get these contracts again.
Why? Actually, in my opinion, Duncan Robinson has the worst deal on that list. He only played half the season with limited minutes because Coach Spo doesn't trust his defense. Imagine that. You are paid high, you are healthy, and yet they won't let you play. What he had done during the Finals will not cover for that, when Tyler Herro is back, Robinson will also be back on the bench. And, if Tyler Herro was not hurt before the Finals he will be the one showing his skills, not Duncan, he was just there because Coach Spo have no more options. I think I have already said it mid-season last year, he has the worst contract while healthy. Overpaid.

It gonna be a matter of time until we see some real updates about his transfer or if there will really be a transfer being allowed by the Blazers. This is taking so long honestly. So it's like that letting Dame give some statement and then later on, the league itself does want to fine him if he does continue to say on which team he wants to play.
Regarding about Dame's trade talks that are still going on up until this point in time, I don't think that the NBA itself is actually serious about that warning they issued towards Dame and his agent instead they are just putting some pressure to make the trade happen because it's taking too long to be honest. Really? I don't think that they'll release some statement like that if they're not serious. Maybe you're right and they are not really serious at all and that's why they're just putting them like an expedite decision to make this trade happen as in everyone and every team is looking and giving an eye on it. Aside from that, it got me thinking that what if the Portland Trail Blazers doesn't want the trade? That they are just assuming that they are interested towards it, like this and that, but in the first place, they are just making an announcement that Dame wants it but it is the franchise who doesn't want to let go.
We don't really know if they don't want that trade to happen since with all of the publicity stunts that they're giving about this potential trade. Possible that they just want to get rid of Dame and want to take as much as trade in return for him. Well, I've seen people that are just sick and tired of this and telling that he's overrated.

Portland is holding all the cards here IMO. They are not going to do a trade unless it makes sense for them as a business. I'm sure they are keeping Dame and his wishes in the back of their minds, but unless a team sends an offer that makes sense for Portland moving forward, Dame will be a Trailblazer next year.

I agree. With Bronny being a decent prospect and the chance to land LeBron with a minimum contract to play alongside him, it’s worth spending a late round draft pick on him. That isn’t even to mention the business side of it. Being mentioned in the record books, jersey sales, ticket sales… It’s a no brainer, even with heart issues from a questionable source.
Right now Bronny James is doing OK right now so there is a bigger possibility that he will return and maybe become a decent prospect but I am still doubting this because he had a cardiac arrest once so there is a chance that it could happen again, there is still no statement regarding why Bronny James had a Cardiac Arrest but many are saying that his career is over, but let's just wait on what Lebron and Bronny's doctors has to say, Yes, and I think teams that are interested on him or get him will subject Bronny to test as well to see if he can really play and not be affected by his medical condition. So I don't think this case will hinder the young James into playing in the NBA. The media just really exaggerate things for Bronny to look at is if it the end of his career or something.
And with that, I still think that they can make history, and we will forget that this happen to Bronny. And as per report, he was discharge already with a clean bill of health. Maybe him being still young help in the recovery very sooner than expected.
There is a possibility of this because he is still young and is able to recover from it but there still he needs to take care of himself and without further explanation of what has happened to him during practice, then they surely need to wait for the test results of Bronny James, maybe that is why there are no further announcement about this matter, Portland is holding all the cards here IMO. They are not going to do a trade unless it makes sense for them as a business. I'm sure they are keeping Dame and his wishes in the back of their minds, but unless a team sends an offer that makes sense for Portland moving forward, Dame will be a Trailblazer next year.
It was a shame for many fans that want Dame Lillard in the Miami Heat next season well if Dame Lillard also wants to be a Miami Heat he would likely need to wait for an opportunity for that to happen, or maybe an extra sacrifice for the Miami Heat team to acquire Damian Lillard, but right now it is for sure that he is still in Portland Trailblazers,

I don’t understand. Is there any problem with the player going to the team that he wants? And I just don’t understand why he cannot join the team that he wants if everything is agreed upon. What is the reason for them trying to deny him joining the team that he wants? I understand that some rules and regulations that must be followed. But when everything seems to be agreed upon, what is the problem?

Possible that they just want to get rid of Dame and want to take as much as trade in return for him. Well, I've seen people that are just sick and tired of this and telling that he's overrated. Of course, they want to take as much as they can from the trade from Dame. They paid the guy a very handsome contract and they basically get nothing from it. It was Portland's fault not to surround Dame with the necessary support he needed to give the franchise a championship but still, the amount they paid the guy, they are entitled to get it back at least from the trade they are getting. I am thinking, this is the result of the trade of Gobert Minnesota. Utah Jazz got too much from that single trade and now every team wants too much too if they trade their star player. Dame will have to wait because I feel like Portland will squeeze as much as they can from this trade. Hopefully, he lands where he wants to be but that would take a lot from the team he is going to. I agree. With Bronny being a decent prospect and the chance to land LeBron with a minimum contract to play alongside him, it’s worth spending a late round draft pick on him. That isn’t even to mention the business side of it. Being mentioned in the record books, jersey sales, ticket sales… It’s a no brainer, even with heart issues from a questionable source.

But if they do not clear this out, it will backfire on them since teams will have doubts about drafting Bronny if they are not sure about the health of the kid. I don’t understand. Is there any problem with the player going to the team that he wants? And I just don’t understand why he cannot join the team that he wants if everything is agreed upon.

It is not they do not have the right to join the teams that they want, but it is the team's right to trade them to whichever teams they see fit. Lillard announcing that he will not play if he is not traded to Miami is bad for NBA. It is detrimental to the NBA if players will not perform or fulfill their contracts. We already have a lot of Diva players demanding too much from their respective teams aside from the humungous salaries they are getting. Adding this to the list will make teams worse. Soon, we will see all-star players cramped into a single team. There will be no more competition. It is good that NBA is already putting a stop into this kind of publicity.

What is the reason for them trying to deny him joining the team that he wants? I understand that some rules and regulations that must be followed. But when everything seems to be agreed upon, what is the problem? Because he isn't a free agent. When you are a free agent you can play for anyone you want to who will pay you. In this case he is under contract and is screwing over the owner of his team for lessening his value on the trade market. The commissioner works for the owners of the NBA, and if this becomes the new normal than it will be huge implications for teams trying to deal their stars. I agree he needs to shut up and deal with where he ends up later. You signed a huge contract knowing you could be moved at anytime.

But when everything seems to be agreed upon, what is the problem? The NBA is a little different in this regard. As in European basketball or football teams, there is no order, players cannot meet with teams and express their own opinions. Actually, this is a bit silly. It doesn't make much sense to have such rules, every player should be able to meet with the team they want.

Well, it's a slippery slope. Ideally nobody should be forced to play in a team or city that they don't want but they have huge contracts knowing that there will be consequences if not met. If he was a free agent he would have every right to reject teams but he's still under a contract and that contains any trades as well. He has to perform %100 even if he goes to other teams than Heat. But I guess we all know how it will end up. Dame will get away with a fine and play for the Heat this season.

NBA sent a memo regarding the Damian trade request and they basically said it's open season and he can't just pick a team to go to. He wants only Miami but the NBA said that any team is free to send offers and that means it is going to be a bit weird going forward. After all a player has a right not to play anywhere they want but that doesn't mean that he can pick just a single team with an expectation to actually go there. If that were to happen then it means teams would have to pay insane amount of money to players and then send them wherever they want, which won't work.
So all in all, maybe there is a chance Dame goes somewhere else, he could still reject it if he wants to but usually teams trade whoever they want to wherever they want as we all know.

What is the reason for them trying to deny him joining the team that he wants? I understand that some rules and regulations that must be followed. But when everything seems to be agreed upon, what is the problem? If both sides already agree there's nothing that can avoid the trade to happen, in Lilard's case there's still no close deal with what Miami is offering for the Blazers, trade ain't complete yet. The statement from the NBA is regarding to what Lilard announces regarding with he only wants to play with Miami and nothing else. But still depends on how Miami and Blazers will take this deal, else we might see Lilard playing to other teams that Blazers will accept the offer.

Lot of time ahead for the start of the season, but in your head, wich team do you thing its gonna be a contender and wich team its gonna be a tanker in the bottom of the table?
We can say surely San Antonio comes back again to be a contender after a few long years being a tank team.

But I guess we all know how it will end up. Dame will get away with a fine and play for the Heat this season.
That I forgot. Yes, he is still under contract so it's like telling the Portland Trail Blazers management to do something and make it happen that he will end up with the Heat. But I think the Trail Blazers won't be doing it if the offer is not right. The Heat doesn't have enough cards to trade with them in my opinion. They are actually undermanned with so many players injured, including Viktor Oladipo and Tyler Herro. Well, there's always the buyout option if ever he is traded somewhere else and won't like to play, that's if the other end of the line is just trying to open up some space. Lot of time ahead for the start of the season, but in your head, wich team do you thing its gonna be a contender and wich team its gonna be a tanker in the bottom of the table?
We can say surely San Antonio comes back again to be a contender after a few long years being a tank team.
We cannot tell that yet. Wemby will first show how good he is and this first-year experience will be a great learning point for him. There's a chance they might not even enter the playoffs so don't get your hopes up just yet. Orlando Magic didn't move much so it will depend on how good Banchero will play this season. If not, they might fall to the bottom. I won't also underestimate the OKC Thunder yet with so much talent in their roster. Trail Blazers may actually be the ones who will get problems with all these issues about Damian. On who will win, I think Denver Nuggets might get a back-to-back.

At this point it's really hard to tell which team will be a contender and which will be one tanking. For example, last year we didn't thought that the Nuggets will win the NBA finals, they are not the favorite by any chance. Now we have a lot of teams that changes a lot, players moving to a new team and others. But for sure all eyes will be in Wemby and it's going to be tough road ahead for San Antonio to even go to the playoffs. Hopefully he can withstand the pressures of the media and the players itself because he will be welcome by players, sort of baptism by like banging on him or dunking on his 7'4'' frame.

Bleach Report; The worst contracts in the NBA.
1)Bradley Beal (4 Years 208 Million Dollars) 2)Ben Simmons(2 Years 78 Million Dollars) 3)Duncan Robinson(3 Years 57.4 Million Dollars) 4)Rudy Gobert(3 Years 131.5 Million Dollars) 5)KAT(5 Years 271 Million Dollars)
I agree with all of them except Duncan Robinson.
I think Ben Simmons has the worst contract. This contract is too much for him. I don't think Ben Simmons will ever get these contracts again.
Bradley Beal as one of the worst contracts? It's just that he's one of the worst teams, and they are making him their franchise player thus, he got that huge money. I think I might disagree with that one. Robinson's contract was almost a total fail as well if only he didn't improve last season. I mean he had some developments at least that helped the team. Gobert and KAT's contract might be a bad one especially with Gobert, but Simmons contract was the worst one among the 5. Just after a year of having an all-star performance, he went from an all-star caliber to a mediocre player who's afraid to shoot in the paint. After his contract, he might go back to Australia, and will regain his composure there, or he might stay there, and play for their national team for the rest of his basketball career. Lot of time ahead for the start of the season, but in your head, wich team do you thing its gonna be a contender and wich team its gonna be a tanker in the bottom of the table?
We can say surely San Antonio comes back again to be a contender after a few long years being a tank team.
Spurs? Will be a contender just because they got Wemby? Will not happen. Take note that he's surrounded by young players. The Spurs right now is like the Thunder last season. A young all-star potential player, but surrounded by young, but talented players. I also disagree with what you said that the Spurs will be a contender. Take note that a rookie can have monstrous performance for a year, but they can't carry their team all the way to NBA Finals. Remember that David Robinson was drafted in 1987, and only got a title after more than 10 years. I'm not saying that it will happen to Wemby, but the Spurs will not be a championship contender in his first year.

Trail Blazers may actually be the ones who will get problems with all these issues about Damian. On who will win, I think Denver Nuggets might get a back-to-back. I agree mostly. Totally agreed about Spurs. It is too early to tell and too early for them to be a contender team. I don't think any player on earth can make that much of an effect in their rookie year. Not even Michael Jordan did, not even Lebron did, not even Shaq did nor Tim Duncan. I am very eager to see what Wemby will show us but let us not expect too much from him just yet. Also, Greg Popovich is kinda old. He is not what he is used to, naturally. I also agree about the Nuggets. They were looking too good and I don't think anybody can be as good as them right now.

So all in all, maybe there is a chance Dame goes somewhere else, he could still reject it if he wants to but usually teams trade whoever they want to wherever they want as we all know.
I don’t understand. Is there any problem with the player going to the team that he wants? And I just don’t understand why he cannot join the team that he wants if everything is agreed upon. What is the reason for them trying to deny him joining the team that he wants? I understand that some rules and regulations that must be followed. But when everything seems to be agreed upon, what is the problem? Because he isn't a free agent. When you are a free agent you can play for anyone you want to who will pay you. In this case he is under contract and is screwing over the owner of his team for lessening his value on the trade market. The commissioner works for the owners of the NBA, and if this becomes the new normal than it will be huge implications for teams trying to deal their stars. I agree he needs to shut up and deal with where he ends up later. You signed a huge contract knowing you could be moved at anytime. Well, that is a problem. If he is under contract, he cannot just go out and tell everyone that he wants to play for another team. Of course, no owner is actually going to appreciate that behaviour. I agree that this behaviour also simply is going to screw up the plan of the owner. He should understand that when he is under contract, he is supposed to give his hundred percent to the team that he is in contract with. The NBA is a little different in this regard. As in European basketball or football teams, there is no order, players cannot meet with teams and express their own opinions. Actually, this is a bit silly. It doesn't make much sense to have such rules, every player should be able to meet with the team they want. But we know that NBA has its own ecosystem as the regulations on financial situations are different compared to other leagues ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Every different sport is going to have different rules. And every player should follow the rules. And in almost every sport, there are some rules that does not make sense. But that does not mean the players can go ahead and ignore the rules. As a great man said, “without rules we live with the animals” The thing is, if he is under contract, he cannot act against it.
