  1. The existence of an actual James Harden fan is truly astonishing and unbelievable. How can anyone be a fan of a player who literally cares more about the strip club than winning? And he always has been like that. If he wins great, and if he loses that’s ok too. As long as he can get a lap dance later tonight. He’s the worst type of teammate to have because he commands a lot of money and you’ll literally never win anything significant with him.

  2. I guess I do not understand the trade process. I thought you needed to opt out to move on from your team rather than opt in.

  3. Knicks? Nah we got a left hander we just gave 100M who shows up in the post season! Unless he goes back to play the 2 with Brunson running the team which I doubt. He knows one way to play and it doesn’t involve being off the ball being a traditional 2 guard.

  4. I don't get it. How can he go to the Clippers with PG and Kaw there? They are already into the luxury tax I understand. Can they trade PG or Kaw to the 76ers or elsewhere? Or can they get Harden and keep who they got.

  5. Send a clippers star to Indiana and get me haliburton if we can’t get no other top star

  6. What if instead you trade embiid for a world of picks and start the process over again. we've seen 4 iterations of this with different all-star pieces around him, and the 76'ers have never been even one of the final four teams left in the playoffs. Now they're handicapped more than ever, lost their coach, and have to chase a replacement guard in FA to hopefully be as good. Instead of fruitlessly chasing the ECF for the next few years only for Embiid trade request, maybe flip the mvp while he's uninjured and hot right now…

  7. Funny how he wants to go to a contender but choked with sixers in games 6 and 7 against Boston, harden ain't shit 👋🏾✌🏾

  8. Given the reality of the new CBA the only owner /management who would be prepared to give Harden more than 2 years ( with a team option on a third ) is Balmer because he has to avoid the embarrassment of opening a new arena with a non- playoff year. Harden had a great regular season last year but at the end of the day his track record with teams, his playoff history, his lack of consistency etc. even led Darly Morey to know he was not worth it . Morey is in a good position to extract a package of Terrence Mann, Powell, and some other decent depth player ( Batum, Covington ) which is a good return for a guy that ultimately many in the Sixers front office ( and the fan base) no longer wanted beyond one year ( unless there was a discount ). That said, personally I would be happy to see Morey get bupkis for Harden because I firmly believe he and Harden conspired to screw Houston and Brooklyn ( sorry for the Sixer fans though but then again the Houston and Nets fans deserved better too)

  9. PLEASE DO NOT BRING HARDEN TO THE CLIPPERS!!! Why? He’s old. He hasn’t been a fit to ANY TEAM. Like Luka, you can’t keep pointing fingers at different players that come and go and blaming those players without blaming the one constant.

  10. Sooo tired of James. I don't even care anymore. Sex addiction amongst athletes ruins their stamina.

  11. 76ers arent getting that for a player who jumps ships ever 1.5 years 😂😂😂😂 F Harden

  12. If im the celtics i would try to get him they need a pg harden, tatum and brown would be the best trio in the east by far and they would easily be the favorites in the east

  13. James Harden is a smart man, he's making sure that he gets paid because he will never see that type of money again moving forward

  14. He's playing for the love of $$ not the game at this stage he's going to suck every penny from the NBA😆  
    because his best days are behind he knows he will never see a ring 😩

  15. Best case scenario for the Sixers. Now if they can trade Harris for more depth, the only remaining contract to move would be PJ Tucker. At that point, they have more flexibility to do so, and recoup some draft picks and younger players in all 3 moves. The other option was blowing everything up and trading Embiid, which they could still do, although unlikely at this point.
