My "maybe" is just as good as your maybe. Both are worthless.
The original point, Harden can't lead a team to a title. Nothing posted has proven that belief to be false.

Golden State will have to give something really good to get anyone to take Wiggins' contract.

Golden State is primed and ready to rock with Wiggins in 20-21 and it should be no surprise that they believe they can rehab his O efficiency and place him on go to wings. They believe, in a weird sense, his improvement greatly enhances their chances at Giannis following 20-21, if he's still available.

Good for Wiggins. No one else is taking that nightmare of a contract.

Barring getting back and another huge cap spike, they’d have to move Wiggins and or green to land freak.

The sixers are where they should be
The sixers you enjoy today will not be the sixers of next year
 
Kids in the arena screaming their heads off is ruining the viewing experience, gonna have to put this Bucks/Heat game om mute

Last two calls were kind of crazy. Reverse a foul call when Herro got a lot of arm, then call a foul on a jump ball?
 
Milwaukee better know how lucky they are for the Packers because otherwise that town would be in a sports black hole right now

Paying him and letting Brogdon walk is a league altering decision

The qualifier to that is that Bledsoe is a really good defender, Brogdon is a little below average. But it is hard to argue that Bledsoe is not a massive choker offensively in playoff games.

I like Budenholzer's defense. The Heat guards have a tendency to catch the ball with their backs to the basket, and the Bucks were springing a lot of traps. The Heat had over 20 turnovers tonight, which is great work by the Bucks. The Heat were hot tonight, which happens sometimes.

Offensively, the Bucks sucked tonight. They missed some open shots, but they didn't get nearly enough. Too much of their offense was long contested jumpers, and it is hard to score in those situations. Everything doesn't need to be 5 out. Inside out offense works too, and actually improves the total spacing and passing angles. Lopez was eating up Adebayo and Olynik down low, and the Bucks should have kept feeding him. They also got to post Middletown up if the Heat were going to defend him with Herro or Robinson. Middleton has a size advantage and is a better athlete.

Finally, the Bucks should have played Ilyasova 15-20 minutes. He is past his prime and not a great fit for the modern game, but he is a crafty, physical player and would have helped the Bucks down low.
 
We've been over it, but Heat were always a bad matchup for Bucks.

Bucks D is designed to shut off paint and as a result gives up more (contested) 3 pointers than any other team. Miami is the most accurate 3 point shooting team and barely attempts any shots at the rim outside of transition. Plus Bam is one of the best Giannis defenders and Bucks don't really have wings to take Herro/Robinson off dribble.

Bucks still could/should have won the series, but not shocking to me.

Thunder cutting Donovan loose and appear to be looking to dump salary. Sixers and Bucks may both take a run at Paul. Bledsoe for Paul would put Bucks in Luxury Tax for next two years, but would be a big upgrade at point guard. Thunder move a big contract and get a reasonably talented player back. Thunder aren't challenging for a title anytime soon but Bledsoe would keep them competitive and save them a lot of cash.
