Bradley Beal Trade Roasted By NBA Twitter

by

Bradley Beal and the Washington Wizards weren’t exactly a match that was working out. Although Beal was able to secure the bag from the Wizards, the team was never able to surround him with solid assets. Kristaps Porzingis and Kyle Kuzma are not going to help you contend for a championship. Furthermore, they couldn’t even get this team to contend for a playoff spot. Overall, it became clear that Beal was not going to be with the team for long. After all, when you’re scoring over 25 points per game, it’s difficult to want to stay with a team that is going nowhere.

Throughout the past couple of days, there had been rumblings that Bradley Beal would be traded to either the Phoenix Suns or the Miami Heat. In the end, however, it was the Suns who came out on top. They ended up trading Chris Paul and some other minor pieces to get him, which for a guy like Beal, is a pretty small price. In fact, the Wizards couldn’t even get a first-round pick, which is a huge indictment of the Washington front office.

Bradley Beal Traded

Following this trade, a lot of fans took to Twitter to sound off on all of this. Overall, there are two targets of the roast session here. Firstly, you have the Wizards who look completely incompetent here. After giving Beal a supermax that included a no-trade clause, the Wizards have egg on their face. Furthermore, the Suns now have a top-heavy big three with no bench. Their roster was already top-heavy, but now even more so. For some fans, this is just not going to work.

NBA Twitter Reacts

“The Wizards made a terrible deal for Bradley Beal Sunday. And they had no choice. Both are true,” reporter David Aldridge wrote. “It was the final, awful cost to finally set the franchise on the reset it should have started years ago.” One fan even went on to say, “A no trade clause with dat contract should put Bradley Beal in da National Museum of African American History.” Needless to say, NBA Twitter was on one yesterday, and they are still reeling from this latest move. Let us know what you thought of the trade, down below.

However, his parade is already being rained on. Earlier today, an OnlyFans model by the name of Moriah Mills began to call him out in a series of exceptionally explicit tweets. She makes the claim that Zion was seeing her and wanted her to be his girlfriend. Additionally, he was finalizing preparations to move her out to New Orleans. Overall, it is incredibly messy, and Mills even showed alleged Snapchat correspondences between herself and the Pelicans star.

Zion Williamson Called Out

LaMarcus Aldridge Announces Retirement

by

LaMarcus Aldridge is calling it a career. According to NBA insider Shams Charania, Aldridge is officially retiring. Aldridge’s last action in the league came last season. The former Texas Longhorn spent last season with the Brooklyn Nets, where he appeared in 47 games. Aldridge has dealt with health issues recently. Additionally, those health issues almost forced Aldridge to walk away from the game a few years earlier. Now Aldridge can walk away on his own terms, while knowing he left it all on the court.

Aldridge spent 16 years in the NBA. First with the team who gave him his start, the Portland Trailblazers. Aldridge spent the first nine seasons of his career in Portland. After Portland, Aldridge spent another six years in San Antonio with Greg Popovich and the Spurs. Finally, Aldridge rounded out his great career in Brooklyn for two seasons. The Texas big man made an impact at every stop in his career. Undoubtedly an amazing career for Aldridge.

LaMarcus Aldridge Decides To Ride Off In The Sunset

Aldridge finishes his career with solid numbers on the hardwood. The seven-time NBA All-Star has a career average of 19 points and 8 rebounds. Not only did Alridge receive All-Star accolades, but the big man also earned All-NBA honors on five separate occasions. One can’t help but wonder if Portland could have made more of a run with Aldridge and Damian Lillard. The pair were together for three seasons in Portland. In that time, the team didn’t reach the Western Conference Finals. Portland is still seeking its first Western Conference Finals appearance since 2019.

The NBA says goodbye to another exceptional talent. 16 years of service in the NBA is an impressive feat for anyone. Some don’t even get the chance to be in the league for two years. However, now the debate begins. As much as I believe it, do you believe Aldridge is a Hall-of-Famer? Without the health scares, could Aldrige have been the missing key for a Brooklyn Nets title run? Let us know in the comment section below how you feel about Aldridge’s career. For the latest NBA breaking news, stay locked in with us here at HNHH.

Paul George Injury Timeline Revealed, Twitter Reacts

by

Paul George is a player who means a whole lot to the Los Angeles Clippers. Overall, he has held the team down while Kawhi Leonard has been dealing with his own knee problems. However, now it will be Leonard’s turn to hold the team down as George went down with a leg injury on Tuesday night. This injury came in a game against the Oklahoma City Thunder in which the Clippers lost by one. It seemed like a very bad injury at the time, and some thought that the star would be out for the rest of the season.

Although, it now seems like the Clippers are getting hit with just a bit of luck. According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, George is going to be re-evaluated in about two to three weeks. The diagnosis is a sprained right knee, which is much better than an ACL or MCL tear, which is what some fans thought they saw. Had George been told he was gone for the year, the team’s title chances would have immediately taken a hit.

Paul George Sprains His Knee

Fans are currently breathing a sigh of relief over this news. If you were to check the quote tweets on Wojnarowski’s report, you would see the jubilation that many are feeling right now. “I’m glad it isn’t much worse, hope my glorious king gets better soon,” one person wrote. “Wow incredibly lucky after seeing that injury,” said another. Brian Sutterer, a doctor who comments on sports injuries also commented on the matter. “MASSIVE relief,” he wrote. “Sprain suggests a ligament injury, and this timeline is probably too quick for an ACL sprain. PCL sprain would fit with that timeline and mechanism, but we may get some more information.”

Overall, the Clippers have definitely escaped a worst-case scenario here. All of this could have been a lot worse. However, George will now get to rejoin his teammates in time for the postseason. The Clippers are currently fifth in the Western Conference, but with how tight the standings are, you never know what may happen. Stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the sports world.

Draymond Green Roasted For Ridiculous LeBron Comparison

by

Draymond Green is one of the best defenders in the entire NBA. However, when it comes to his offensive game, he leaves a lot to be desired. Thankfully, he plays with the likes of Steph Curry and Klay Thompson. These men have helped him win four NBA titles, and if it weren’t for them, Green would not be talked about as much as he is now. Overall, Green is still a great player, and there is a real case for him as a Hall of Famer. Regardless, he remains a polarizing figure as he does a lot of talking in the media.

If you watch Draymond Green on TNT or on his podcast, you understand that he loves LeBron James. Green is a member of Klutch Sports, and there have always been rumors of him linking up with James in Los Angeles. Although these rumors have never actually materialized into something real, Green’s love for James is absolutely palpable. Unfortunately, sometimes Green puts himself in the same breath as LeBron. For most fans, this is totally undeserved.

Draymond Green Thinks He’s Him

For instance, during his coverage of the All-Star game, Green came out and said that he feels as though no one other than LeBron has a similar resume to him. Of course, LeBron and Green both have four NBA titles. However, that is where the comparisons stop. Overall, LeBron is way better than Draymond, and the same can be said of pretty well every player at the All-Star Game. Needless to say, many fans took offense to this and roasted Green on social media. “Aside from the NBA product going downhill, we now have the NBA media getting ready be taken over by guys that just want to promote their era and how much better it is compared to the past,” one fan said. “TNT will be unwatchable when Draymond becomes a full-time host.

In the tweets down below, you can find various other takes on what Green had to say. For the most part, people do not agree with him at all. The roast session was quite something to witness, and it is clear that Green will think twice before saying something like this again. That said, let us know how you feel about Green’s remarks, in the comments down below.

LeBron James Breaks Scoring Record, NBA Twitter Reacts

by

LeBron has been in the NBA for 20 years at this point. Throughout those 20 seasons, he has managed to win four NBA titles, all while notching numerous records. Overall, he is considered a top 2 player to ever play the game. However, there are some people who would say he is the GOAT. Of course, had LeBron gotten to six titles, he would have had a better case against Michael Jordan. Regardless, James has accomplished a ton throughout his career, which just goes to show how amazing of a player he truly is.

Over the past few weeks, LeBron has been staring down yet another achievement. Of course, we are talking about the scoring record. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar set the scoring record back in 1984. It is a record that has stood for 39 years, and for the most part, no one thought it would be beaten. However, with each passing game, James has shown that this is simply not true. On Tuesday night, he was closer than ever to the record. With 36 points required to break Kareem’s tally, James managed to do it in just three quarters.

LeBron Does It

Overall, this was one of the biggest moments of LeBron’s entire career. Sure, winning championships in Miami, Cleveland, and Los Angeles was massive, but beating this record is an individual achievement he will simply never forget. It is one of those things that puts him atop the history books, and his record likely won’t be beaten for decades. For LeBron, it was a truly special night. Additionally, it was an amazing moment for all of the fans who have supported LeBron since he was in high school.

Subsequently, there were plenty of reactions to the record on Twitter. Fans are more than excited about this record, and the reactions to it all showcase that. Overall, a lot of people were calling James the GOAT, and at this point, it is deserved. Even if you’re a Michael Jordan fan, you have to give James his props. Take a look at the tweets below, and give us your take on LeBron’s record, in the comments section.
