OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA: AUGUST 2023

For his BBIQ???

He's way to old to make a difference here and he started losing athleticism 5 years ago, hard pass.

 

Does anyone actually want James Harden anymore? The guy has forced his way off at least three teams now, and seems to never be happy anywhere. If I were an NBA GM, I’d say thanks but no thanks.

 

Negative.
He got waived for a good reason. He's a fringe NBA talent and doesn't have the 'potential' tag anymore.

 

Rumors were coming from Harden's camp trying to pressure 76ers for a max contact extension...

I agree, he overplayed his hand

 

I'd go for Harden, Lillard, Nurk. Grant, Sharpe in a heartbeat if there was anyway they could make that happen.

 

I mean you never know. Portland has strip clubs. Harden might like it here?

 

Man, that’s terrible. She was young, too.

 

RIP. Too young.

 

Yes thats kind of a funny question - yeah who would you trade James Harden and his $36 million if you were in charge of these other teams? I'd probably trade these players that make over $25 million

Rudy Gobert $41 million
Ben Simmons $38 million
Gordon Hayward $32 million
CP3 $31 million
Lowry $30 million
Poole $28 million
Herro $27 million

So thats 7 of the top 57 paid players he's better than and 50 he's worse than. I kind of hope Harden and Morey both hold firm and this thing blows up with a waste of a season after the trade deadline. I'd love to see both these guys fail.

 

I Ubered Harden when I was living in Portland. Only 5 hours after hitting a game winner in Oakland, he was hanging out at a hookah lounge in Portland.

 

If you consider the teams needs - I'd say less than that even.

Minnesota -> They have Ant... No need for Harden.
Nets -> Been there, done that.
Hornets -> Possible.
Warriors -> maybe possible, but serious cap issues. Don't think GS would make that trade straight across.
Miami -> Possible for Lowry+Martin. I don't think Heat would give up Herro for Harden.
Poole -> Wizards are on a different timeline.

So really your 7 potential trade partners is down to 2.

 

Well there ya go. Legal Pot and loose women.
Thinking he would take a pay cut to play here.

 

You were the Uber driver?

 

But….. why?

 

Probably because there's been so many people that complain about the cost of cable that say they'd happily just pay for ESPN, without realizing what ESPN actually subsidizes on cable networks, and what the price of"just espn" would be

 

ESPN sucks now. Not worth even close to that much money. Can get better highlights on YouTube. Can get better opinions on podcasts. All they have going for them at this point is NBA games or college football. Not sure how they think it’s worth 30 bucks a month.
