      Chris Paul was sent to OKC w KIDS and pushed the rockets to 7 in the bubble, then was sent to the suns w a little bit older KIDS and took them to the finals. LBJ traded his core of kids for AD, yes they would have had their bumps and bruises first year and maybe a second(if he never traded them) but who knows maybe they'd be the best core rn AS LBJs gotten into his older years

      Silly Bron looked at himself balling at 37 and thought the rest of the old-timers who’re slightly younger than him could hold up their end of the bargain. He was sadly mistaken. Westbrook is washed & AD is soft af for someone who is supposed to be in his prime. I don’t blame Bron, but I can’t disagree with your take. He assembled the team, but those mf’s haven’t lived up to their resume in the slightest.

    Only watched Broussard's take and I have to say: "Come on Chris! Really?" I think Broussard made a bad take of trading Draymond for Ben; Draymond is the leader, enforcer and glue/backbone of the franchise. As legend as Curry is, he will never confront Ben or any team if needed. And now: sure the GM needs to take some responsibility but LBJ is the leader as well as he and AS both wanted Westbrick over Hield. At least with Hield they can space the floor. Broussard is a great analyst but come on LBJ deserve some blame. He did this to himself.
