Oh and everyone was saying the same thing as I was that Duncan was picked too high. You're running your self off. Don't blame me for whatever issues you have. Only you control you. Keep me out of it kkk.

Yeah, but. . . that defense. . . ouch.
Harden can score. There's no doubt about it, but he might be one of the worst defenders in he NBA. I want guys who will at least give a solid effort on defense, even if they're not very good at it.
How is it even possible to be that bad at defense?

Not to mention a bad teammate. Remember what Harden said of non-Dwight teammates?
"Dwight and I are the cornerstones of the Rockets. The rest of the guys are role players.".
You can't pay me to play with that kind of player.
The Rockets will never win a thing - book it.
LOL .. Duncan owned Aldridge x2 months ago in the Western Conference Sem-Final, taking the series 4-1.
No contest.

And Dwight Howard has that same mentality. It's what made it so much fun to watch the Rockets shoot for a 3rd "star" this summer and FAIL miserably - costing them Chandler Parsons in the process - so much fun! I agree, that as long as they're counting on Howard and Harden to lead the team, they're going nowhere.

Duncan's still a stud, but projecting him to be great this upcoming season is folly IMO. I'm interested in seeing the team that you put together, simply because I'm not sure you'll have a true #1 option. That's just how I feel. Love the guy, and based on your arguments, I see why you took him. . . but I wouldn't have made that pick.

I wouldn't group LaMarcus Aldridge in the "me first" category. Frustrated and discouraged until they built up the rest of the team, but I've only ever seen him as a team first guy.
Yup you'll see. I don't just look at stats - I pick players who have good character, are team players, etc.
7 team's gonna get dropped out of this thing in the first round, if I'm gonna lose, I'd rather lose having players that I like on my team.
I did say player, meaning Harden.
Well I guess it's 3.40am in Turkey... probably won't be another 3-4 hours before he's up?

My bad. Thought I read players. Wasn't sure that Aldridge belonged in that group, while Melo, Dwight and Harden definitely do. And I'm a Melo fan. At least his teammates seem to like him - not so sure that guys like playing with Dwight and "The Beard" - especially after those recent comments. Nobody likes being called a role player even if they are one.

That's my attitude too. I went that route in the All-Time player draft and had more success than I expected. Decided to try that route again with this one. Based on my value list, I know that not everyone will like my team. And I don't care. It's the kind of team that I'd want to coach. Which is why I understand the Duncan pick. He'd have been a guy I'd have liked. . . just not at #5 overall.
Howard and Harden are the cornerstones, everyone else is role players.
This isn't rec league basketball, players should know their roles and not get butt-hurt by honest statements.

Harden did get 6 assists a game last year, and is one of the best non-pg playmakers in all of the nba, and was the primary playmaker for OKC when he was there, but your opinion is your opinion
Harden has his flaws like everyone else. With that said he's still one of the best players in the league.
