    Harden’s bad rep is earned? Bad rep as what? A poor defensive player based on a 4 year old video? He’s not that player anymore.

    Sure. An MVP caliber drama queen with his palms raised to the sky crying to refs after every call and his exaggerated head movement in the lane. I can live with it with what he brings to the table. Can’t do it for CP3 he isn’t producing enough to overlook it quite the contrary.

    What was your point again?

    Ohhh you’re one of ‘those guys’ ...”come back with your shield or on it” yeah? Sad you’re gonna miss out on some great memories. Guess you hate the 50&60 pt games. Ridiculous passing ability. Standup guy off the court. You’re gonna hitch your wagon to CP3 a guy who had to come here, and play with James to experience high stakes basketball only to **** the bed. Yea man you’re logic is 5th dimension transcendent and a being so advanced shouldn’t be getting worked up with sports. Go teach beavers how to talk or cure world hunger smart guy .. I’ll just be dumb and enjoy watching Harden set records and hope one day he has an equal running mate to truly help and share the load.

    Lol well isn’t this ironic. If you’re going to play this game. Harden isn’t going to win without cp3 either. They both need each other but ok who was ******** the bed a year ago while cp3 was playing his ass off against gs. Someone played terribly and it wasn’t him. But yeah go ahead enjoy those records lmao. some of you are pretty damn pathetic.

    i wont even post how bad harden was that series because its not even about that. but for people like you its tear everything else around him down because you get so butthurt that people dont think hes perfect. you took a post about drama queen = flopping to now this. why has cf's gone such downhill.

    CP3 didn't play in the most important games of that series.

    Harden doesn't need CP3.
    Harden is the point guard, CP3 is the '2nd star' who we got because we could. You need stars to win - but to claim Chris Paul as a big time winner is a mistake....

    Sadly Chris Paul is no longer a star, and acquiring a different all star to play alongside Harden - one who can be useful while on the court with Harden but off the ball - would be better for our chances of winning a championship.

    Note: it is really hard to win. Even totally stacked teams have things go wrong.

    he sure does need him. rockets would be the same 1st round exit team without him. that was proven a long time ago

    We went to the conference finals before he got here....

    Paul never made it through the 2nd round before Harden took him there

    Lol 1 fluke doesn’t change much. And we all know where harden was in the most important game of that run. They then proceeded to get destroyed in that wcf


    12-13: 1st round exit
    13-14: 1st round exit
    14-15: wcf
    15-16: 1st round exit
    16-17: 2nd round exit

    12-13: 1st round exit
    13-14: 2nd round exit
    14-15: 2nd round exit
    15-16: 1st round exit
    16-17: 1st round exit

    Nothing can be changed by CP3 wanting out or not. He and his 120m contract cannot be traded. No one wants it. /thread

    If Phoenix doesn't get Kyrie they might want him.

    Boston for Hayward works theoretically.

    Might be possible for Lakers to take him on, but likely they'll add a bunch of mid level guys.

    Contract is bad but team is more effective with Paul running it, such a conundrum.

    The simple solution is for Harden to push the pace, move off the ball more and be willing to mix it up.

    He'll still shoot the most, have plenty of isos, have the highest usage (shouldn't be 40 though, maybe 30-35), he'll still be putting MVP numbers.

    So I don't see why he wouldn't be open to it.
