NBA babysitting players it’s a joke
Bontemps voice is just…
The media need to go hard on him like the way they did for Ben
Not sure why Nick Nurse would ever agree to this job. This franchise is a huge mess
James harden coming too clippers yall mad
No teams want a guy, who doesnt work out in the off season & only plays when he feels like it. Just Retire Bro. 😅
I’m kind of starting to feel bad for Embiid as he’s loyal to his team and they keep bringing in these drama queens that are team hopping trying to piggyback a chip. They aren’t in a position to trade Harden for draft picks and they need a player that can compete now. With Hardens reputation, teams don’t want to give up much for him but they need to do something soon so they can move on and start building chemistry with the news pieces
Get this terrible no defense playing, turnover prone, playoff vanisher out of the league please. This man alone has turned away thousands of basketball fans, his antics every single year when he's not even a top 50 player in the league is ludicrous. How many teams is he not going to show up for training camp for, or complain on the daily. The guy has no heart, and never should have been paid as much as he has already. 30+ million dollars a year to play a kids game, and can't even show up for that, their are millions of college players that would love to take his place in the league, let them.
Enough of these guys that clearly don't want to play, let them go.
There's a reason no one is offering the 76er's anything for James Harden. It's because he is an overrated player. Russel Westbrook has been a better player than James Harden the past couple seasons. James Harden will never win a championship if he has to be the 1st, 2nd or 3rd best player on a team.
The sixers should just trade James to the Knicks and get back some first round picks for him. I know the Knicks are probably waiting for embiid or some other more reliable super star but they have a lot of picks and he would help the Knicks remain more competitive in a very competitive eastern conference. Then the sixers could flip those picks for a star potentially. And or at least try to acquire buddy hield as part of trade – better then just clippers contracts only.
James is going to force his way out of the league at this point or be stuck with a minimum contract soon. He can’t hold out all year.
No one wants to pay harden. It’s simple, he’s not a good employee.
Honestly is I was Daryl morey at this point given James antics I would just do James dirty like he did by signing Oubre, just dump him to some rebuilding team for draft capital 😂 and then flip the capital to get a real co star for embiid
I wonder if he just retired would this year’s money still be guaranteed
He called his boss a liar? lmao, the NBA is a joke sometimes but I guess this is the entertainment part of it to? 🤣🤣
Hannah Storm😍😍😍😍
Joel Embid is a pro.
The league is gonna blackball Harden very very soon
Harden for Simmons trade 2.0
They were better with Ben Simmons and should've handled his situation the same way like professionals.
Embrittle is Delusional and he’s always playing hurt every playoff’ on top of missing at least 15 games every year.
A Scully wit a basketball jersey 🤔🤔🤔
Harden is a MAN CHILD bro. I would be DONE! With him period.
Sixers have 2 plus JH is in final year and Harris
Lots of money off books and what's comical that JH is still going on about Morey ans I'll never play for him again. What's he's gonna do pass on 35mil? He will be there but eventually Sixers will move on
Hannah Storm has aged really graceful. Hannah and Ahmad Rashad was such a great duo on NBA Inside Stuff. I wish we had more shows like that instead of all the drama debate shows we have now
“A player who withholds playing services called for by a Player Contract for more than thirty (30) days after the start of the last Season [of his contract] … shall not be entitled to negotiate or sign a Player Contract with any other professional basketball team unless and until the Team for which the player last played expressly agreed otherwise.”
Harden may show up fat. But he's not scaring anybody about sitting out
harden to clippers for powell, morris and 1st??? Thats not bad for 34 year old harden.
Harden retiring by 2026😂😂😂😂
