The Official NBA Season Thread: I’m like Jayson Tatum in the Olympics I'm not playing

[ill steelo]

Morris is basically retired & they gave away EJ. Russ is unplayable off the ball. Bones is trash.

I’m not certain anymore that they have enough when healthy. They could use another playmaker.

Harden’s up & down but he can still win you a game or two in a series

I really thought JT had next back then

Been knew nobody wanted Harden. Why would you?

2023 NBA Trade negotiations

Ant man probably gave them the most trouble in the playoffs but we aren’t ready for this conversation

 

[don ramon]

I'm boycotting summer league if they raise ticket prices again. $65 a day is the most I'm paying and I think that's pushing it.

this year's sumer league felt lackluster and flat. i don't know if it was the players themselves, players being pulled after a couple of games, if the nba didn't do enough to promote it or a combo of those things and more

I’d trade Mann and whatever other pieces for him. He still showed he’s capable of playing Harden-ball at times with a lot of success. He had a really solid season last year. Gotta just hope Kawhi and to a lesser extent BPG can also be available when you really need them.

Still feeling pretty good about my Emoni Bates = Duncan Robinson cross racial comps.

If he can get a little stronger and be semi passable on d,
he can have a long career as shooting specialist like Duncan.

 

[HOU$TON]

Hardens resume kinda starting to look like mine.

Leave for a new job every 2-3 years.

That’s the best way to do it

Clippers badly need to add some "oomph" to their roster. Westbrook provided some of that, but against good teams he'll be unplayable.

What is the reason that harden wants out of Philly? I must have missed it.

Didn't get the money he was assuming to get when he took a paycut last summer.

Feels slighted over not getting that long term deal

Money. He took a team friendly deal and was expecting to be taken care of.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

So he’s going to be ok with getting a paycut from the clippers assuming they even offer it

Gonna suck paying harden past this next season if it’s anywhere near what he wants

 

[elpablo21]

Morey wasn't even remotely moved by all those Harden to Houston reports that got dropped twice a week during the season.

Fam beat the Ben Simmons hostage allegations. This is lightwork

he still has to put up numbers and can't coast to a chip lol

If he's not getting the money he wants, might as well be playing at home with his boy Russ than in Philly. Maybe that's what he's thinking.

Oh yeah he 100% got finessed by Daryl “James Harden changed my life” Morey.

The optics always look bad but harden has been justified every trade request

Players backing out for sure. Feels a lot less formal/serious than years passed-- but maybe it's me, idk

 

[atlsfinest]

I know it's just jokes but this is pretty funny

 

[Maximus Meridius]

from to after reading this. Well done and I’m proud. We are all free agents in life. Never show a job loyalty.
