That's a nice set of 11 dynasty points there, it would be a shame if 3 rings were to happen with it

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
It would make more sense if that was last year's list although it still doesn't make sense.

It's probably from the trade Deadline.

You don't have to go full JFK conspiracy theorist to see that Harden may or may not have been pinching but definitely had a hand on Green, Green slaps at Harden's arm to get it out of there as he makes an off-ball offensive move, and the blow lands near Harden's elbow, nowhere near his wrist.

I'm not pretending Harden didn't pinch him you dullard

Your entire post is about how noted dick kicker Draymond Green was probably just flailing his limbs in response to contact, just like he does when he kicks a dick

Consider if you will that

wikipedia posted:

On August 10, 2012, Howard was traded from Orlando to the Los Angeles Lakers in a deal that also involved the Philadelphia 76ers and the Denver Nuggets. The Lakers also received Chris Duhon and Earl Clark; the Magic received Josh McRoberts, Christian Eyenga, Maurice Harkless, Nikola Vučević, Arron Afflalo, Al Harrington, and draft picks; Philadelphia received Jason Richardson and Andrew Bynum; and Denver received Andre Iguodala.[53]

And also that two months later

wikipedia again posted:

Harden was traded to the Houston Rockets, along with Daequan Cook, Cole Aldrich, and Lazar Hayward, for Kevin Martin, Jeremy Lamb, two first round picks, and a second round pick.[20]

Before you note that Harden was traded because he was going to be too expensive to keep, note that Howard played the next season for ~17 million, and the Thunder offered Harden 13.5 million a year. In a trade with a rebuilding Orlando, the difference could be made up elsewhere. Not only that, but Hennigan worked for the Thunder just a few months before these two trades happened

Draymond "I've never intentionally kicked a dick" Green would surely own up to punching Harden's wrist when he didn't actually do so

Just a guess, but Draymond probably went along with people saying it was on the wrist because he did not know exactly where the hit landed, had not seen a replay, and it was plausible to him that he got the wrist. I doubt Green was even looking down, he was trying to move to a different place on the floor and that is where his attention would have been. Feel free to zapruder that if you like, I have not done so.

Also the reason Green visibly didn't give any fucks is because defenders grabbing and having their arms slapped away is a routine thing which probably happens dozens of times in a typical game. The only reason this one has people trying to make it a thing is that it got called as an offensive foul, there was a camera angle, idiot homer tv announcers immediately claimed it was a deliberate savage targeted blow, and it was Draymond Green. Anyone else, nobody gives a poo poo.

I agree with this post tbh I think it is a correct take

Since we were talking about frame-by-frame analyses of Zapruder films I thought for a second you were talking about the green hill of defending Draymond. It would be a smallish, roundish hill that would be green due to grass.

Going into detail on a joke trade proposition is whatever but the Raptors had two firsts this year (thanks to the Greivis Vasquez trade, somehow) so they're still good.
