Are any of them aware that Gallinari exists? I like Steven Adams a lot, but he's not even the most underrated player on the Thunder. No one even brings Gallo up when they talk about underrated players, let alone in a conversation about tradeable assets that OKC has (extremely productive player on an expiring $23 million deal with a versatile skillset) or right after he leads the winning team with 23-11-4 on 7-11 FG (3-6 from 3, 6-6 FT), 1 steal, 0 TO, and made it look easy the whole time.

Good. Kenny is just an average Joe who got a ring by being carried. There are so many better ex players who would fit in well in his seat, that would work so great with Charles and Shaq, than he. Kenny is like a Collin Cowherd. Just waits to see what others' opinion is, and disagree to it to sound like he's covering all or other perspectives.

Even if OKC want to trade I doubt many people are biting at Paul or Adam's salary and years left on each contract. The dillema for them is whether or not to trade Danilo Gallinari expiring contract,if they keep this team in tact you are still competitve and almost certainly in the playoffs,if they trade him and start losing they might finish 9th or so in the west and only gain slightly in the draft in a year that doesn't look like a deep draft.

Pace is the difference. With Russ you need to have more pace because he excels in the open court. That is why they let him get the rebound to start the break faster. With CP3 you have a pace that is focused on half court setups so they aren't on a rush to cross the half court. It's not about stats. It's about your personnel. Learn more about coaching then you'll understand.

i'd pick okc over denver in a playoffs matchup
Only surprise to me is Aquan isn’t averaging more. Everyone knew he’d be better once brook leaves cos he has the rebs now
Barkley got right on the spot...Houston depends pretty much solely on Westbrook and Harden to play at their best level to give a beat down. Okc is more leveled and has lots more important parts sharing pretty evenly the responsibility to win games. Im from oklahoma...and love and miss Westbrook but Okc is different team now and it just maybe what gets us to our goal.
Charles ‘like I say’ Barkley
CP3 is a talent, but I don't know if there is a team that can integrate his strong, abrasive personality in the middle of a season. If Paul were a few years younger, I'd like to see the 76ers find ground for a Simmons-CP3 framework
cp3 on fireee
Love russ, was thunder fan. But no Chuck, there are many teams, which there is a problem, if their star doesnt bring it. Not only the rockets
i completely agree with chuck with the rockets
Charles and shaq looking bigger than usual here
Traded the best player, only to bring him home where he should have been. 💞💞💞💞💞💞
So no one is gonna talk about gallo he is a key part of the thunder
Chris paul in Miami or Philly would be awesome. Don't know how they can pull it off though.
I don't know but we treating this game like Chris Paul and James Harden weren't teammates for 2 years.
Philly just go for it and trade Ben for CP3. It’ll be better for spacing CP’s game will mesh better with Embiid & on the other side OKC could be around Ben & that’ll put him in a better situation for the future

OKC started out slow, but right now they are the 3rd or 4th best team in the west. They already beat every west team except the Lakers and Nuggets. They're way better than the Jazz. Lakers and Clippers health can be an issue for them. Also, are we gonna talk about how the Thunder are better this season and the Rockets are worse?
Has Chuck ever completed a thought on this show?
i can see why barkley isnt sold on the rockets
Does chuck actually watch the games

In chuck the lakers are the same since harden/Westbrook and James all play the same
Chris Paul’s contract is way to big. Teams would really have to be desperate to take it on with how old he is, granted he is playing very well. I see him finishing the season for the thunder but you never know.
