Do elite free agents find Harden attractive?

Good thing you spoilered that. NSFW.

 

He's got a nice personality.

 

No! But maybe their moms do?

 

Depends...a top 10 player? No. How many top 10 players are on the same team? None. EXcept for golden state with Durant and curry and arguably draymon (imo he's top 15) a top 20 player? Sure, if winning is the first commitment and not being the star of the team. TOO many other personal reasons people don't want to play or can't play in Houston and it's not the first team all NBA guards fault

 

I'd say Cleveland is another team

 

Nah

On the outside he needs to shave that flea infested beard and walk upright with some swag

On the inside he needs to get some heart and stop quitting

 

well durant chose joining the team he couldnt beat instead of joining someone who can help him beat that team. so no i dont think any elite fa's would come here w/o force of trade or threat to life.

on the flipside, we can get another 20 million dollar role player and fool them into thinking the best fa's choose houston. it might work eventually. who's available? i wanna know if we can get a solomon hill type of contract going.

 

Absolutely, esp after seeing how he can play under MDA.

 

Hayward is for sure coming now

 

Will probably have to be a guy who plays off the ball.

Anthony Davis or Draymond Green?

 

I think guys that are tight with Harden may consider Houston...

If they're not tight with Harden... ain't no way in hell they'd gamble on coming here...

So how many players are 'elite'... and how many are tight with Harden...

 

So tight that there would have to be plenty of lube involved?

 

If Im a max player, I'd much rather play with Harden than Westbrook.

 

I think the real question is, do they find Houston attractive?

 

Harden really impressed me in Spurs series. He had heart of a champion. Any FA would love that. Or are you talking about sexually attractive?

 

Therein lies the problem - once we lost Canaan, we lost Dwight. The bromance was ended and Dwight was never the same.

 

Yess

 

Harden is more attractive than a Ninja Turtle. ​

 

Depends what they want. Are they trying to revive their career? (Dwight, EG, Josh Smith)

Or are they chasing rings?

If they are trying to revive their career so they can get paid in the future, they'll come here because they know Harden will pass them the ball.
If they are chasing rings, they'd rather join one of the Spurs, Celtics, Cavs, or Warriors.

No, they wouldn't go to OKC, thats where you go to end your career. WB will ballhog 24/7 and make you look like a scrub.

 

Always with the turnovers.

If I'm not mistaken 538 or one of the more nerdy sites did a breakdown of turnovers versus possession time and while he was still slightly above average he was nowhere close to being terrible. Same with Westbrook.

Why people can't comprehend this baffles me.
