It is 2023, 2024 very soon. Not going to lie, not that optimistic about his game. Holding a grandpa hostage, okay. Happy birthday, James Edward! (2 weeks)
2024 will mark the 4 yr anniversary of his Rockets departure, J.H. Dillon-ger Brooks 4 yr countdown is on deck
Geez James this doesn't look good on your end. What's his issue with Philly? I'm assuming it's Embiid related?
Morey related. Harden takes $15M pay cut last year (Morey brings in the ex-Rockets) with (I’m assuming) an understanding he’ll get his bag next year (right now). Morey offers a 1+1 deal (2nd year team option). (During the season) Mutual interest in a Rockets return; Rockets hire Ime Udoka; Rockets no longer interested Harden requests trade; wants to go to only LA Morey/Harden relationship said to be “fractured”. https://hoopshype.com/lists/76ers-r...yrese-maxey-pj-tucker-daryl-morey-nick-nurse/ “To my understanding, the best the Sixers would’ve considered was something along the lines of a two-year deal, which would’ve included a team option, and that type of short-term commitment wasn’t going to appeal to Harden.” Morey: I’m not paying you, you’re in decline! Also Morey: I need a prime Harden trade package
Many fans joked that James Harden could repeat his "Fat suit" move with the Rockets after the Sixers refused to grant his trade request. The Philadelphia 76ers have decided to end the trade talks for James Harden and now plan to bring him back for training camp. While no one can blame the Sixers for sticking to their guns and refusing to move him unless they get what they want in return, many fans couldn't help but joke that it will lead to another situation similar to what happened when Harden wanted to get out of the Houston Rockets. https://clutchpoints.com/sixers-new...-draws-hilarious-fat-suit-jokes-from-nba-fans
Whichever star that Harden plays with has his reputation destroyed: Dwight Howard Chris Paul Russell Westbrook John Wall Kyrie Irving I'm sure there's more, these are top of my head.
Being unfair in your expectation is exactly how you win trades. Due we really need to explain this to vets?
Portland being smart they should offer a package around Scoot for Embiid Dame, Joel, alongside Grant and sharpshooters like Sharpe and Simons would be title favorites
In Harden’s defense, every single one of the guys on that list are injury prone, soft headed and not as good as he is. Simple as that. Howard could not even see the court today. Future HOF because of his early career, but by the time he got to Houston he was not the same; additionally never ever took the time to actually improve his game. Too dependent on his athleticism. Once it left, he had nothing. Paul is an HOF, but always hurt when his team needs him most. Westbrook? Come on! John Wall? This dude hurt himself getting out of the bathtub because he was drunk/high. Notice he has not been able to stay on any team since? Irving? Enough said.
