  1. This situation calls for strong defence. Good thing they still have Ben Sim…wait, sorry.

  2. There are only a handful of players that would be worth this headache that Harden is currently involved in (Giannis, Luka and Jokic, [THE JOKER]). In 2014 this might be worth the headache for James Harden, not going into 2024!!

  3. Rockets were Smart Enough to say No Too The Harden Headache… Shave The Beard Bruh.. Nobody Fears The Beard Anymore..🤣😂

  4. Smh Sixers are a mess, we shouldn't traded for this looser harden from the jump, this is exactly y I can't stand the NBA

  5. Harden is always trying to leave a team. But it’s not the teams it’s his azzz. This is the same dude look people he went from Houston, to Brooklyn than from Brooklyn to Philly like dude 🤦🏾🤦🏾🤦🏾🤦🏾 after while teams gone look at him and gone pass him up

  6. You will never convince a fan that the mid-season tournament is important. We all know it is only "important" in the sense that NBA wants it to drive revenue. We only want the real championship not some consolation mid-season prize

  7. so basically Morey duped James into opting in, and then "sucker punched" him, and then flip flopped and now james is stuck. I loved that the Warriors always beat Morey and James when they were with the rocket, they wanted to beat us so bad. Should have when they had us 3-2 one year, but they never did!

  8. Harden made his bed and now he has to lay in it. On Christmas day he had his team leak to the media that he was planning on going back to Houston if the 76ers didn't give him the contract he wanted. Harden made the first "untrustworthy"move in my opinion & I believe he doesn't do that if there was really a secret handshake agreement between Morey & Harden prior to the 2022 season beginning. As the season continued I think the Sixers were anticipating Harden opting out and testing the FA market & from there the 76ers would gauge what his value was before offering him an extension (I mean why overpay??). However, when the season ended and as the OPT in period continued to linger I think Harden found out that his only leverage(Being Houston) wasn't interested in his services anymore so instead of taking the chances on a lowball contract offer come FA he decided to instead opt in and request a trade knowing that the 76ers weren't going to give him a max extension. Harden probably thinks he's owed for leaving money on the table however his actions on Christmas Day tells me there was never anything concrete regarding a contract extension in Philly.. Otherwise, why bite the hand that feeds? If Harden is really soured about how things ended in Philly then he should have just opted out instead of giving Morey the keys to his next destination. Poor decisions leads to poor outcomes. He can't be mad at the 76ers for not paying him an X amount when in reality no other team was going to pay him that X amount for his services. He needs to come to the reality that he isn't that dude anymore instead of taking it out on the one guy who helped put him in the position that he's in today(Darryl Morey).

  9. No one takes a $14 million pay cut without some guarantee. Unless they are idiots, Morey definitely promised James last off-season that he will be taken care of.
