Yea, I mean, he literally said he was going to make life hell for the FO and was already having a substantial inexcusable absence. Was Morey supposed to bow to his every demand?

Wait someone actually thinks Harden was legitimately trying to get on the plane to go to Milwaukee and be a well behaved member of the organization? The whole point of that was clearly just to give talking heads something to wag their tongues about. It was a pro wrestling stunt.

We get the worst of the rockets, LAC and OKC firsts. The rockets pick in that is top 4 protected. So if the rockets fall in the top 4 then we just get the worst of LAC or OKC (which we would anyway since it’s very unlikely that if the Rockets had a top 4 pick that the other two picks would be better somehow).

He's not a system player but yet he wanted to retire a Sixer with a new head coach who has implemented a system he was reportedly on board with initially

I hope that pussy never wins a championship ever. I'm glad Oubre took his bitch and didn't get her back

Some Clippers fans are hoping Harden can turn Bones into Maxey :lol:

It's about damn time Silver paid up for the Colangelos. We're calling it even now.

Harden is going to absolutely tank that team. I'm sure Russ and PG and Kawhi are going to stand idly by while James pounds the air out of the ball and plays Rockets ball.

That 28 1st looking good! :lol:

Lol that team is a dissaster waiting to happen.

Probably they are going to have a honeymoon period for a couple of months, maybe the whole regular season.

But when it gets real in the Playoffs they are going to get exposed sooner or later, both the basketball fit and the carachter/chemistry issues. And thats without talking about health concerns for most of them.

Also they going to be washed up in 2 years máx.

he's not wrong but the reasons he reach the right answer is lol.

the "system" was a stagnant mess and Doc hated when anyone deviated from it.

Harden doesn't have the juice to be a "system" anymore and honestly you can argue that even in his prime the Harden system didn't exactly work all the way

but this is how most stars peter out their careers tho.....Iverson, Melo, Westrbook.....its hard to come to terms that the way you used to play isn't as viable or viable at all anymore.

He’s completely delusional & actually believes his own BS. He wants credit for sacrificing, but also doesn't want to sacrifice anymore. He demands a trade, but claims we didn’t want him. This man is gonna have a really pathetic life post-retirement.

Seems to be a thing that career losers struggle with. Probably why they weren't winners in their prime. Their whole approach was wack from the getgo.

Harden will likely get to be the system a lot with the Clips given George and Leonard's availability problems. Results will be pretty mid.

You do not have to worry about that.

Batum still is away for "personal reasons." Since the dude is at the end of his career, I wonder if he doesn't feel like playing for the Sixers.

Hopefully that pick is part of a package, with maybe another, and probably some expiring contracts, etc., to grab someone useful before the trade deadline.

We will probably make it even more convoluted. We trade away (the best of ((our '26 pick) and (the worst of (OKC, LAC, HOU picks)))).
