Many are focusing about other things here, but they forgot the James Harden drama.
Just so we know, he's went to the training camp, played some drills, and even his coach said that he's good.

Quote

James Harden made his return to the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday for training camp. He went through most of the drills. His new coach said he “looked good.”

I know, I know that he still wants to get traded, but he might realize in the next few weeks that no team wants him anymore. I hope nobody is a fan of die-hard fan of Harden here, and will say that "Yes there will be a team that wants him blah blah" because nobody wants him. He forced his way out of Houston, he also forced his way out of Brooklyn, now he's doing the same with Philly, and other teams knew this already. Add also the fact that he's on his last year of his contract, other team might lose him for nothing in return because he will already be a free agent after this season.

Harden left with no choice, but to play with the Sixers, or his value will decrease significantly. I hope he's attitude must change. Yes, he has been a big piece on Embiid's MVP, but if he will not change his attitude, he might be out of the league sooner than we expect. Attitude matters in the league, and we know that.

Olympics a big topic at NBA media days as Kevin Durant, more stars show interest after pledges from LeBron James, Stephen Curry

Quote

When NBA teams across the league gathered for media day on Monday, there was an outpouring of public commitments to the United States for the upcoming Paris games. Last month, Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James was reportedly recruiting other stars to join him on the national team — and it seems he has a 100% success rate.

Revenge.
But don't they want the young guys who played in FIBA to get their own revenge? I mean, they must be willing to play again and show the world that what happened in FIBA is not yet their full strength.
Superstars are now committing to play in the Paris Olympics. First, it was Kevin Durant who said it, then Steph Curry, but I do believe their roster in FIBA is already strong and they have the speed. All they need is the experience that I think they received after that loss against Germany in the semi-final and one more against Canada for the bronze medal.
We might see some conflict if those young guys also want to be back and avenge themselves now that many superstars are suggesting they want to play.
More players are also saying they're available at that time.

Quote

Suns guards Devin Booker and Bradley Beal, Celtics forward Jaylen Brown, Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo and Clippers star Kawhi Leonard were also among the leading Americans who used Monday to publicly express their availability next summer.

I really do not have any idea how people are making weird things look cool or acceptable. Some things are just not acceptable across the board. Just like a white person saying the N word is not going to be accepted around the world anywhere, some fashions are just not acceptable by people in the whole world. If a man wears a dress, and says he's a woman, it is not going to be acceptable in any logic based society.

I feel like I am going off track. Anyway, this was definitely weird to see. But as you said, this might actually be something which players do to Collab with some fashion brands and also increase the popularity of both the brand and themselves. But they definitely end up doing some stupid things like this.

In the case of Jimmy Butler, I don't see any relation to a brand or anyone promoting their product through Butler. What I saw is that he just tried to catch the attention of NBA fans, and he succeeded. Aside from being one of the best players (though underrated), Jimmy has a sense of humor, trying to make the league chill out a bit before the season starts. And look, we are talking about James Harden, and the event was well noticed.

This will pass; the real battle will start soon, and I believe that the Miami Heat is well-prepared, although they missed out on getting Lillard, whom they wanted. Lillard expressed his interest as well but ended up playing with the Heat's rival.

Jimmy just trying to be Jimmy, give the man the spotlight.

Jimmy Butler was 100% joking with his haircut and outfit. It’s hardcore trolling to say otherwise…

Looks like the tea is coming out on why James Harden is so mad. When he went in for his contract negotiations they were going to offer him a max deal, but Harden expressed interest in winning the scoring title, at which point the max deal was then never offered and they let him know that isn’t the direction the team wants to go. So Harden is holding out because he wants to average 30 a game.

Sounds about right. And if that's true that's the last serious team he will be on. What contender is going to want someone who will sacrifice a game for his stats. And vice versa if he is on a rebuilding team why would you want a ball hog who will slow down development of the team. Dude should have just kept his head down.

What's wrong with Butler? If I'm not mistaken, he's had a normal style throughout his NBA career, especially when he was with the Bulls. But in recent seasons, there's something wrong with him because he's been dramatically experimenting with changing his hairstyle. Is it because of the losses in the finals series?
Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if Butler looked like Cousin Itt from the Addams Family next season. Grin

I believe he is doing it now like a tradition since last year is hilarious and everybody loves his shot. I was skeptical at first seeing his picture on the leaderboard stats last year which I thought there’s just a mistake now it confirms that he is just trolling his photo shoot.

This might be his tradition now just like Westbrook before which showing off during his weird sense of fashion. I thought he is from the my chemical romance the first time I saw his pics on social media without reading the caption. Cheesy

Whatever his intention, he succeeded in gaining the attention of the fans because of his hairstyle, reminiscent of Rihanna's. Anyway, that media day is good as it gives us a thrill and a feeling that the NBA will be back soon. The Heat did not make significant changes to their lineup; they'll remain underrated, but this team is still one to watch.

Of course, we were excited about the moves of the Bucks, as Lillard was supposed to be going to the Heat, yet it didn't happen. Also, regarding Boston, they made a major move by adding two star players to the roster, namely Holiday and Porzingis, so let's see how their chemistry will blend.

I mean, it isn’t like he was cross dressing. He was just dressed in an emo style which he repeatedly had to say to the media. It’s an obvious joke and after the popularity of his dreadlock extensions last year you had to know this was coming. I’m sure this will be a staple in his career going forward as everyone seems to enjoy it.

Honestly, I don't think he's joking. Jimmy Butler was of course on the Chicago Bulls when he was drafted, so being a Bulls fan of course I got to know the guy a bit...he's an odd ball no question about it. He had a bit of an attitude problem and was just always sort of "different".

That being said my god thats an awful haircut lol

Honestly, Jimmy Buckets is a genius not just inside the court but also in taking the hearts of fans and not.
They didn't take Lillard with them but they're still one of the contenders to go in the finals as they've been one of those teams that has been consistent every playoffs and finals.

I'm thinking that it could motivated him more to produce another great season for the Heat. I'm saying for the team because Jimmy Butler is know to elevate his game and not just thinking for those individual accolade. He almost got the ring for Miami though, twice already, one in the bubble against the Lakers and then last year. And the thing is that no one even saw that they can go to the Finals, and thanks to Jimmy for doing that.

Yeah, they're likely the least favorite team last season that will be seen in the finals but they just did.

Yeah, it's for real mate, kinda like a "emo", Lol. Not only the hair, but it was a complete getup, with painted black nails and piercing lips, nose. But let's not forget about his do last year,

https://twitter.com/ComplexSports/status/1708854236631666825

And also he said this in their media day:

Quote

“We're going to end up in the Finals and this time we'll win it.”

So that is a man with a mission, don't sleep on the Heat.

Now, most teams are going to take a look at them as well and not just with the defending champs. It's very likely that everyone who's going to face them will get a serious face from them.
Would love to see him play in the finals with that emo hairdo. LOL.

Yes, I think the Warriors can adjust without Draymond in the early part of the next season, they have recently acquired Dario Saric. So this is a big test for him to somewhat be in the position that Draymond used.

As for Kuminga, him and Andrew Wiggins should take part of the PF to SF position. Either can have a night wherein they are going to be the biggest contributor in Warriors offense. And Kuminga is very athletic indeed that's why the Warriors chooses to still be in team as he can improved a lot and not just like Poole who complains a lot and seems the be the fame gets into his head last season.

Draymond Green improves ball movement on the court, so not having him early in the season might not give them a good start as expected. The good news is that they have CP3, who is known for his playmaking; he can certainly fill the loss of Draymond. With new players who have helped improve their interior defense, I think the Warriors will be okay.

The Warriors have a deep experience including chemistry and CP3 is a good playmaker so they should be fine offensively. Defensively they might really struggle but Kerr can change the line-up including its starting 5 so I guess they'll do well. Even Kerr is confident Thompson can defend up to the PF position. Unless its star players aren't performing well, especially the aging CP3 then.

The new season is nearing its start. It will be interesting how the teams with major changes like Boston and Milwaukee fare. Boston acquiring Jrue was a great move IMO.

Possible to see Steph, CP3, Wiggins, Klay and Green, very small line up but if the offense will click it's also
a good running game play for this starting unit.

Dang, one point guard and two shooting guards at a time! The offense is definitely good but the defense will surely be a problem for the Warriors if this is their starting lineup. Surprisingly, three of these five players are averaging 5 rebounds per game which may be a good point for this lineup.

For me, I would bench Klay and make Jonathan Kuminga a starter in the forward position because of his athleticism, size, and skill.

I don't see anything big in the changes though, Kuminga might start as well since Draymond is out for 4-5 weeks because of injuries and then Looney in the center position. There are times that they used this kind of starting 5 before with Poole, so they could do the rotation like before. So this is just normal for them to see one point guard and 2 shooting guards and it has been effective for them if I may say. And speaking of Kuminga, I think he will again be part of the future of the Warriors, this kid is slowly developing into one of the best NBA player and there are reports that he is still growing and close to 7'0'' now.

I'm glad the Warriors kept Kuminga. Though he wasn't very useful last playoffs, I still believe in this player as the athleticism is already there. He just needs to mature more and play with great chemistry with the team. He's a young talent that they can develop. Hopefully, he won't act like Poole once he improves his play.

Well, losing Draymond, although temporarily, is really huge, but there's still time for him to come back.

I'm sure the Warriors won't struggle too much.

They became more smaller and I guess this is the weakness of this line up which possibly like to target their opponent and use more bigs to defeat them. Small ball line up is not working fine at the moment since for so many time they are been exposed and for sure coaches of different team already know how to deal with them. But let see what rotation they bring up since GSW seems have a good surprise but I guess Paul will play at the bench together with Looney or either Kuminga. Klay might don't like the idea playing at bench so most provably he will be part of their starting five, to many fans excited to know on how they can work out their team so let see how this team perform this season and if they can place on playoffs since many question them if they are a title contender team or not.

Possible to see Steph, CP3, Wiggins, Klay and Green, very small line up but if the offense will click it's also
a good running game play for this starting unit.

Dang, one point guard and two shooting guards at a time! The offense is definitely good but the defense will surely be a problem for the Warriors if this is their starting lineup. Surprisingly, three of these five players are averaging 5 rebounds per game which may be a good point for this lineup.

For me, I would bench Klay and make Jonathan Kuminga a starter in the forward position because of his athleticism, size, and skill.

Steve Kerr seems ready to let Chris Paul start in the Warriors lineup. He said today that he plans to let Klay Thompson guard the opposing team’s power forward in this upcoming season. I’m not sure how long that will last as Klay certainly can’t match up against guys like Anthony Davis. I think CP3 will be coming off the bench pretty quick.

If they will experiment from that setup, I'm assuming that it will be Green to play as their center.

Though like you mentioned, Placing Klay to guard the power forward someone like AD and Giannis might
tough for him, knowing that after that hard injury, they might be putting him at risk.
