The Washington Wizards declined a trade with the Oklahoma City Thunder for James Harden, according to multiple people with knowledge of the proposed deal.

Wizards' owner Ted Leonsis was unwilling to commit to an $80 million max contract offer over five seasons to Harden.

Bradley Beal and Chris Singleton would have been traded to the Thunder in return for Harden, according to sources.

Harden was ultimately traded by Oklahoma City to the Rockets.

One Wizards official denied that Oklahoma City had offered Harden in exchange for Beal and Singleton, stating that the Thunder was also seeking an established player — which the Wizards didn’t have — in return.

“That’s not true,” the official said about the proposed deal.

maybe they were trying to cover their asses but this rings true to me.... nothing about that makes sense.

are we still thinking d'antoni was the right choice

Hard to say w out nash and uh, more than 2 legitimate NBA contributors.

By the way, here’s what I want to note separately. Finally – in my third NBA season – I got to face Howard on the court!:))) Well, it’s clear why they call this strong, aggressive and quick guy the best center there is. He is gifted with all these qualities in abundance. Actually, you already know his strongest traits.

Of course, he did his thing great against us. Let’s call things by their names: he buried us. Though, despite all that, there were some moments where you could realize that even “superman” is human. He, too, can be not perfect, he can feel the pain and it’s possible to compete with him.

mozgov blog!

wow!

haha omg

:D

hahaha

We still go out to eat together with the guys. So, here’s a fun thing that we do. When it’s time to pay on receipt, we take all our credit cards and give it to the waitress. She hides it behind the back and we start to pick the “lucky ones”. The last credit card that’s left is used for payment.

Guys are already looking at me sideways – I’m always out during the “qualifying” rounds for probably a year already. I have to counter it, “When I lose, it’s going to be no problem”. And the most frequent client turns out to be Danilo:))

i looked at denver's line quickly, thought javale had 7 assists and almost had a heart attack (it was miller, right under him)

anyway 12 points on 6/9 and 4 blocks in 19 mins for javale tonight #freejavale

btw this just in kyrie still amazing

kobe talked about phil in the postgame

paraphrasing "I had a coach who taught me to stay calm and focus on the Xs and Os, but these guys are making it fucking hard to have that Zen attitude"

I heard Dwight is pretty big on Xs and Os. He likes to take the middle square first, cz then its easy to get three in a row in almost any direction.

ooh paul just punked hinrich

Lakers are kicking the tires on Delonte West. Delonte and Metta together? Egad.

why the fuck is artest still starting?

Cos they have no one else on the team?

but this is the 3rd season in which he's starting, right? I was confused then, as well.

the lakers are v good at magically acquiring superstars, filling out the rest of their roster not so much

but this is the 3rd season in which he's starting, right? I was confused then, as well.

He would def be better coming off the bench but seriously they have no one right now. Look at that box score from tonights game.

yeah. I agree completely, it's just that he as totally a bench player at the time they acquired him.

as = was

Cousins also exchanged expletives with Dallas coach Rick Carlisle during Monday's game.

"We made a run (in the third quarter)," Cousins said. "I started clapping, and the man said, 'Eff off.' I said, 'Eff you,' and that was it. And I still got scrutinized like I did something wrong."

NBA wite moment: Ben and Tyler HBros playing on court at same time + Tyler Zeller playing + Cody Zeller and Zeller clan watching from stands.
