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

[Vincent Van Goat]

Harden only wants to go to one team. Team doesn’t want to trade anything for him

Dame only wants to go one team. Agent has told other teams not to trade for him

Apples and pears my guy

Ehh. Harden took a “team friendly” deal

But yeah, I think it’s silly

 

[703 hwy]

I don’t even remember this lol

Some of these players gotta step in over their Agent when necessary. You realistically know your market.

In the end, that's Nerlens' fault for not accepting the extension offer.

 

[Brownstone]

Harden did this to himself with the BS houston rumors -- he realized they didnt want him and neither did the sixers long term (lets be real even yall in here said he not worth it) but now its a issue that the sixers arent jumping to his request right away LOLOL

Harden sure did take a paycut last season but also very confident in he got paid on the side from the paycut

Morey did nothing wrong here nor is doing anything wrong

let harden sit all season and just trout out what we got for now i seriously couldn't care less. He needs to play at some point for a contract

Also EMbiid aint going anywhere - MY OFFER STILL STANDS $200

I disagree,

Morey is negotiating in bad faith, if the rumors are true. Asking for Mann and a first is not a real negotiation. If he wants to go the route you stated don't play these fake I couldn't make a trade game- lies.

At this point Harden has to be traded, we have seen this movie before. Take the loss and move on. I get that he gave up some firsts for him but still, gotta take the L.

 

[akajae]

nobody wants to play with Embiid.

Sixers dont have to take the L though lol this aint no video game trade simulator nor NT trade simulator

Sixers season before harden got here with no simmons playing was a top 4 team in the east (IIRC they were #1 in the east at some point that 1H of the season)

They are in no rush to trade Harden for SLOP that dont help nor improve the team one bit for this coming season.. Going into next season as of now its only going to be Embiid on the books and hopefully Maxey with 2 max slots avail

let harden sit and ponder about his life choices maybe he can make some better ones

ill say it again Morey is doing nothing wrong here.. let harden get up out his feels

 

[dacomeup]

I think Harden is kinda screwed because if he shows up fat, why would anyone trade anything of value for him or pay him what he’s looking for on extension? He’s stuck like Chuck

 

[Blue Mamba]

When is Tobias Harris getting traded

 

[danger style]

Still can't believe Van Jones pulled that off

Seriously?

I can believe it

 

[xxpizzo]

When is Tobias Harris getting traded

this is the real question

i wish it was a month ago but something tells me he staying around and maybe even gets resigned here with Nurse as coach smh

 

[amitt5504]

When is Tobias Harris getting traded

My guy 12 sticking til the end. He ain’t gonna be on the hook for 40 per year



That’ll be Maxey lol

 

[amitt5504]

 

[nick.]

nobody wants to play with Embiid.

James Harden is going to be the fourth All-NBA player to leave the Sixers in recent memory

 

[xxpizzo]

Trolls lol

 

[HIM]

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.

Been comparing him to Karlie Samuelson for a while now

 

[nice jahb]

Crazy that the 5 Kentucky players (Including Wall, Bledsoe, and Cousins) drafted that year/put Kentucky back on the map are all out the league.

 

[jab step]

Most overrated GM ever. The way he’s friendly with all those podcast people causing those people to spread his propaganda was always wild to me

So in this scenario you would rather lose Harden for nothing than recoup assets?

Correct - not familiar with your team but let me guess another clippers fan ?

We dont want the clippers slop pieces thats being offered atm

Im all for trading him if it is the correct move otherwise let him sit on the bench and waste a year if thats what he wants to do

Right now nothing that morey likes is worth giving harden up for - it just is what it is and he said it himself today in a interview

F the Clippers lol

I would want a solid piece that offers a contribution going forward knowing that Harden won't be on the team this year, free agency aint what it used to be.

I respect your opinion though, especially considering the points you have made. I just feel that Morey took a gamble on a guy he knew well, they couldn't beat the Celtics and it's time to move on imo.

 

[ill steelo]

Will be interesting to see how this unfolds under the new CBA.

Nobody is giving Harden a big contract if he sits. So he has to play, and play well.

Looking at free agency, his max is huge as a 10+ year vet. So most teams won’t have cap space, and any sign & trades will trigger a hard cap under this new CBA.

So I don’t even know what the market is for him.

This is an excellent point. Jimbo needs to play well next year so coming into camp with da Bully Proof Vest underneath won’t help him get da bag. If I’m Philly I stand back and by to see what happens

I can believe it

Jose Andres always outside doing good. Ain't seen Van since.
