NBA: 2022 NBA offseason

Makes sense to do it now. He will be a hot commodity I would think. The Jazz just couldn’t get past the hump in the west. Curious where he ends up.
A funny question was posed a few weeks ago on the DP show. You have to take one and choices were Kyrie, Harden or Westbrook. Who would of thought 3 or 4 years ago that real answer to the DP question really would be I wouldn't want any of them.
Did they give an answer? I'm thinking choose Kyrie and Westbrook would be my least favorite
Talking about right now not who he has been in the past. He's now injury prone and in these last playoffs he didn't look to score. If your not looking to score and you play no defense what good are you.
I don't know if he is so much injury prone as he didn't want to be with the Nets. And you know you are getting a great facilitator who can still give you some scoring. I think Miami's defense was good plus Embiid was hurt and out for some of those games. I like what he would bring vs Irving and Westbrook. That is what we are talking about. Irving is a locker room cancer who you don't even know from one day to the next whether he will play., Most of his career he hasn't played. Westbrook is just not good on either end right now.
I'd take Harden out of that bunch. Call me crazy but I could see him being one of those Chris Paul types that has a second resurgence in his career if he can embrace what he is now as a player. I still think he's a really smart player that can facilitate well if he can be content not being a 25 PPG scorer.
Give me that over a guy who appears to truly and genuinely not like playing basketball, and a guy whose only skill was the athleticism that's now left him.

Today, not historically, but today I would take Tyus Jones over those 3 players.
Tyus is the definition of a winner. Harden, Irving and Westbrook all care more about their own individual stats.
Yeah there's definitely value in a player that shows up and gives you a 7 or 8 out of 10 game for like 75+ games a year
I would take Harden. I think he would be more willing to accept a lesser role. Plus, he is not going to be a huge distraction off the court like Kyrie.
