OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA: AUGUST 2023

Harden and Morrey screwing each other - is like watching a trash can setting another one on fire. So, I do agree it is an issue about money, but it is not just Harden here - he did try to work with Philly / Morrey with money issues.

 

Dame needs to do the same thing to this front office but he will not cause he has class but sometimes you need to stand up for yourself and wish Dame would be an a-hole at times sometimes he is too nice for his own good but it's also something I respect about him too -- lol

 

What an idiot.

 

Good luck with that.

 

Like it or not Dame is now lumped in will all those guys demanding out of their contract. Wikipedia wont remember that Dame was a “nice guy”. Funny thing is Dame did let the game play him and not the other way around. Got caught up on all of the ring chasing etc. He is sort of stuck but he could have gone against the grain. Now he is just another Harden. Who knows, maybe Dame will ask out of his next gig too?. He should have fired that dumbass agent though as soon as that memo was sent.

 

Does anyone here still want to trade for Harden? I do.....................













....NOT!

 

My stance is almost always the same when it comes to hypothetical trades for a specific player: Depends on what we're giving up and what we're getting in return. I'm sure there is a trade where I'd take back Harden; though it's difficult for me to come up with off the top of my head!

 

Harden had a great regular season last year. Wasn't he like 22 and 10? He falls apart like a cheap suit in the post-season. Has anyone before this debacle requested a trade away from the current MVP? I just don't get it.

 

Scoot can play off the ball.
Harden led the NBA in assists.
Fans can wear fake beards to games.
It would be a thing of beauty.

 

He did sign a short contract! This is the last year of his contract. It’s a player option which means he had the option to opt out and became a free agent this summer! But Clippers don’t have cap room to sign him. He would have to be traded there. So he opted IN with the understanding Morey would trade him.

 

Why do that if Morey promised to trade him?

 

Morey isn’t the GM. He’s the President.

 

That's not what contracts mean... He can go to the Clippers when his contract is up.

If he's trying to force it before then, he is the one being dishonest.

The Clippers could have signed him. They just couldn't pay him $35 million. He made that choice.

 

Ben Simmons maybe lol?

 

Kyrie demanded trade away from LeBron but he wasn’t current MVP.

 

Did you not understand what I said? He had a player option. If he wanted, his contract has already ended. He could’ve been a FA right now. But he opted in because Morey said he’d trade him.
