A common issue to some basketball players that relied only on their speed and strength. That is why more and more players really want to practice their shooting, big man or not, it helps to prolong their careers. Imagine Giannis 10 years from now if he cannot develop his shooting. Although the guy is developing and is somehow smart. Maybe he can play basic simple basketball like Tim Duncan when his body is past its prime. I think Westbrook's ego is also a problem. That would be hard to teach. Even during his younger years with KD and Harden, I think most of the time he's got more attempts than KD and others.

I really think that Giannis Antetokounmpo can develop his shooting in his younger years, he is only 27 and like Michael Jordan back then that can not shoot in the 3-point lane, but he practices and practices to the GOAT that he becomes now, for Giannis Antetokounmpo I think he has seen it on the way Stephen Curry plays how valuable that he can become very versatile as a player and for your teammate as well, he needs to play all around, he can either become their guard, Power Forward, Center and even Shooting guard, I think other teams have seen it this season on the way the Golden State Warriors win their title, they got very versatile players that can Score inside the outside the paint, and a strong defense that could ruin the playing momentum of their opponent,

Yeah I read they were redoing his contract. Haven't seen too much of the details but yes less per year so they can open up space for more talent. My guess is he isn't losing money in the deal though in that some sort of signing bonus or some other snaking way to game the system its done all the time to clear cap space. Wonder what the NBA would look like if they had a system like mlb 😵

WOW! I'd never expected that from James Harden, Cutting his salary just to make a team Roster that has potential I think other teams in the NBA are desperate aswell, seeing Golden State Warriors make a comeback really threat all of the teams and I think Harden is already feeling it on his system that he can not last anymore, he is now 32 years old and I think this kind of move in cutting his salary will surely make the Philadelphia 76ers even more thankful to him,

Even if he do decent numbers still the credit will be on Lebron or Davis so its no used for him to stay at a place where people hate him it will just give him huge pressure and that can affect his gameplay so he really needs to go out on lakers so that he can rebuild his self because if he stay on Lakers for sure nothing will happen to him.

Like if there is a team that will tolerate his ego for sure he would leave the Los Angeles Lakers, I guess the teams that want to trade Westbrook is Tepid at the moment and there is only one team that legitly wants Russell Westbrook and that is the Charlotte Hornets, only the Charlotte Hornets, but a source have said that but I have read a news ARTICLE Saying that Westbrook has never requested a trade from the Lakers and that the big 3 of the Lakers have committed that they will make it work in the next season, I don't know what of the fans of the Lakers will have to say on this because they are blaming Russell Westbrook for teams shortcomings,
