Morey knew Harden pretty much made him and without Harden carrying these bums then it was all over. Self perseverance at its finest
Ainge would trade anyone not named Tatum if Harden wanted to go there. Tatum only because of his age and upside won’t be included
Yeah they made it work with Thomas and Kemba both iso players you don’t think they can incorporate Harden? Oh common
Lol go watch that BS press conference again after knowing this information from Woj. I wonder if Silas knew or was made aware? I can see Rafa telling him everything is/was fine.
Both of those players though were willing to fit the system. For example, Kyrie sort of fought against that system and left. For as much as we all say that Harden could make it work, he has not done that long term in Houston.
Some people here continue to massively underrate Harden. The guy has a complete offensive skillset , and has improved on D every year the last 3-4 seasons. The guy came off the bench in OKC , and played great with CP3 and with WB . Stories of his ego being inflated are inflated IMO . Harden shooting off ball is devastating , harden handling the ball is devastating , harden can be disruptive on D . There isnt a single quality NBA coach that couldn't incorporate Harden and improve their team. His biggest flaw is that he is 6'5" instead of 6'8" Many of us have grown used to the 30 point nights and how effortless James makes the game look. We wont truly understand what we gave up until he's gone . I hope James retires a rocket.
