Get kyrie since harden wants to go back to Texas let him give us a kyrie embid and maxey team
They can trade harden to Brooklyn for ben Simmons
Fat guy named windy
Harden has quit on teams enough times now you'd think people would catch on
Wizards please trade Poole for harden
Harden cost Doc Rivers his job now he’s on his way to get another coach fired. Stay away from Harden. He is a whiner!!!
Brian Windhorst just be chatting! Name ten pgs better than 21 and 10 rn
Harden been trash, don’t want him back. Didn’t want home in the first place, he’s a quitter 🤷🏾
Voiced your opinion to get rid of Doc and then decides to want to leave
Harden should go to the Clippers, the Sixers should get Terrance Mann, Bones Hyland & Powell (or Covington, if Powell isn’t available). Makes sense, the Clippers get their big 3 (reports say they don’t want to trade Kawhi or PG), they get a facilitator and a third scoring option of star-caliber, and the Sixers get depth with a rotation roster as deep as the Celtics/Nuggets. Plus, Maxey can be the second scoring option behind Embiid/learn the pick & roll chemistry like Harden did❗️
Wendy needs a bigger chair
Was there any other team that would have offered long term max contract to JH last time around, beyond 76ers that would work with him for short term 2 years contract?
ESPN about to have a bunch of no names lol 😅
This dude is a joke. Why does anyone care about this none winner.
76ers have zero trade leverage with him being a 1 year older rental who sold in the playoffs
It doesn’t matter who the Clippers trade for or sign. Kawhi and PG need to be healthy and actually play..
James Harden trying to opting in on his player option and trading with the Clippers of a 3 team trade.
You know what's funny? It seems like they love to break down a black man. This guy averaged 10 ast a game and about 20 points a game. That's more than some of your favorite point guards. He's not the only guy who has not has success in the playoffs, but don't look down on his skills. It takes a team to win a ring. Look at Steve Nash's number. He's a legend, right? But Harden is another light. A light that shines so bright, it blinds you haters.
Not all players care about a championship! He wants to just work like we go to work everyday. He just happens to have high level basketball skills . Doesn’t mean he cares about a dam Championship! Along with other players . He just wants to get paid which is perfectly fine.
I would like to start a petition to have James Harden be the first player to be removed from the 75th NBA all-time team.
He's been barely above average since the NBA cracked down on "flopping" from offensive players. Plays less defense than any other starting player I know of. Has mostly been terrible in the playoffs because most teams play better defense. Undermines any player or coach that tries to fill leadership roles he doesn't want to fill himself, or that try to help him improve his performance in any way.
Sixers dugged themselves a deep hole when they gave tobias that contract. Only asset they got is maxey. If a big name is coming in that door maxey is on his way out. Dame and embiid is still not enough.
James Harden should stay, and the sixers should go for Damian Lillard.
Did greeny get fired too?
As a Sixer fan I’m tired of dealing with weirdos from Ben Simmons to Markelle Fultz to Jimmy Harden, just give me a hooper who loves to play and wants to win smh
Dallas gets tyrese maxi and that other guy and picks, Houston gets james Harden for kpj and picks, philly gets kyrie irving
Make it happen
Espn you guys suck letting go of so many good sports analyst
How many teams can one man run away from in consecutive years?
2020-21 Ran away from Houston
2021-22 Ran away from Brooklyn
2022-23 Running away from Philly
He's going to start the season with his 4th team in as many years.
It would seem that James Harden has likely entered the "Russell Westbrook" phase of his career where no team will sign him for an extended period due to him being in decline. Unless he is willing and able to finally get himself into decent shape, this is unlikely to change. The skills are still there and he can obviously still perform at a very high level. Those 2 Boston games of 40+ are evidence of this. Name me any other player that as a 2nd option can deliver 40+ games in the 2nd round of a playoffs, it's a very short list. I wish him well, where ever he may end up!
Why y’all laying everybody off?
Bro this is the first thread I’ve been on where everyone is collectively getting on Harden azz 😂😂😂 I found my tribe… now all I need y’all to do is wake up when it comes to RUSSELL WESTBROOK!!!
I WOULDN'T TRUST HARDEN KAWHI OR PG….send them the the D LEAUGE
NBA needs to STOP paying PLAYERS that dont play i.e Kawhi. PG they already have cheerleaders
Bring back JVG
How do they keep letting Nick Friedell on tv? Hes completely clueless.
ty lue hate his job right now lol. imagine kawhi pg and harden, two injured and one who basically plays like ben simmons now
zac lavine and patrick williams for james harden trade pls
Nobody respects Nick fredell
Bontemps sucks
I'm a Celtics fan and I think Harden leaving makes Philly more dangerous. Harden used to put butts in seats and pay the bills. But straight flopping ain't getting it done anymore (thankfully). Their money can and will be better spent elsewhere.
