Could,would,should and ifs…
I don't want anybody to ever say James Harden better than Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and Dwayne Wade
Does harden realise his career is essentially done…. hes lucky anyone wanted him on their team at all 😅
The life of a pro athlete is not always ideal and maybe its not right to be mislead by the team, but he is paid extremely well to put up with some "minor issues". Raps blatently lied to DeRozen back in 2018, but they got Kawhi and won the championship. As I said, it may not be right, but that is pro sports and 99.99 perecent of Raptor fans are happy they made the deal with the Spurs. And DeMar was a fan favorite. Harden is not so he is fighting an uphill battle.
Not a sport
Bontempts knows nothing about the NBA should cover Lacrosse or Pickleball
Here comes fat harden 😂
Was Bomtemps drunk doing this recording?
You can not tell me the step back is not traveling ……….
I think harden has little leverage. however its like an animal backed in to a corner hes super dangerous. After getting screwed by a guy that was supposed to be his friend he's gotten the league to reopen an investigation, 2 probably players on his own team to side with him and all other potential free agents are taking note that Daryl Morey cant be trusted. If you want the damage ta stop u trade him now. All this, "i was actually hoping for a rebuild anyway" talk is just saving face
If you’re Daryl Morley, you have to treat this situation like you Ben Simmons, wait until you get the right suitor.
Tim bontemps 🤡🤡
James needs a bona fide suitor.
Negative. If I was harden, my goal is to make sure sixers don’t make the playoffs. Either I’m on the sixers or not. Same goal .
All JH has to do is ball out this year and next year he'll be a free agent. Max contract.
dude is a tool for owners, what did you think he would say? LOL
These guys are talking about Gabe Vincent and Struss like they were some kind of stars, they were both undrafted guys.
That's what we do, we'll be fine.
Is it the owner that won’t pay him or the GM? Bc at the end of the day it’s the owners money and decision. Regardless morey shouldn’t have bad a back door promise (pause)
Lakers would take him
Expect harden to act on an injury n not play
James is untradable!!
There is not a good amount of teams. James ruined his career
D’Angelo Russell, Rui Hachimura and a 2029 top-five protected first-round pick isnt bad🤷🏾♂️
Cocksuckers
Never understood why he opted in. That was dumb.
If playing for the 76ers is James Hardens best option , then he def not going 100% each game. At this point he gon pull a Benjamin Simmons move and fake a injury .
Clippers are his best chance at a title. If fully healthy there is no better team in the nba
You can tell Wendy not trying to have a info segment and they just making jokes and doing takes
Sixers messed up and that’s it. They coulda came up with 3 year contract close to 40 mil a year. Traded Tobias and fixed the bench.
Dude with the backwards hat is such a dork lol
Never really watched these guys but now that I know he's a mets fan I'm interested lol
LEAVE HIS BEHIND RITE THERE!! ENOUGH WITH THE PIRATE JUMPING AROUND!! 😂😂😂😂
He needs to play. This superstar stuff is getting out of hand.
Let me know when something actually happens. All of this speculation means absolutely nothing in the real world.
Expect Harden to be kaepernicked. Pack your bags for China man, cause you ain't playin in the NBA again. Disrespect can go both ways man
Harden would love to play in China because there would be no pressure on him to win or to be a good teammate. Of all my years of watching basketball, he is the worst "great" player I have ever seen. If he can't get traded, the only person he has to blame is himself for being a world class ball hog and quitter for most of his career. You'd have to be an idiot to trade for him.
You national media do not understand Philly!!!!! The fans will boo the he'll out of Harden and they will not take, so he has to go!!!!
Clippers traded Blake 2 months after re-signing him and promising to retire his jersey.
Boston traded Isaiah Thomas after playing through injuries, family death and leading them in the playoffs.
Wizards promised Jordan ownership of the team if he played for them and took it back after he retired.
Wolves promised KG ownership of the team after retiring and switched up after Saunders passed away.
There’s no loyalty on both sides, it’s business. Sometimes you have to say the right things to get what you want.
Who is this guy and how did I get on this video ? 🤦🏽♂️
Bull
G.o.h name teams that want larden
Such a paid piece! Smh brian
Can’t believe they didn’t write something into the CBA to stop this BS.
Joel wants the heat😮
If I’m a gm with a losing team I would want James harden to sell tickets. I wouldn’t mind seeing him in Orlando or the kings but without having to give anything up.
7:22 /9:10 😆
He's flaming out faster than Westbrook
Morey is getting fired anyway & Embiid is leaving anyway so trade harden & try to flip things round morey & 6ers are prolonging the inevitable along w him helping the investigation which can get the 6ers picks & other things taken around
CBA really messes up the NBA.
I think is best for James Harden just play one more season with Philadelphia 76ers and see how far he can play during the 23-24 season for his contract
