    That phrase is always used when they need to do something unpopular but it is in support of the user's agenda.

    Yeah but it is just business, EG last year was one of the most frustrating players I have ever watched. Its like you knew every jumper was a miss and hoped the defense was getting back asap...... So yeah, EG can GTFO.....

    He has 2 years left on his deal...+ a player option....

    That would be him sitting out 2 years.

    You think he is going to get paid max money by someone after sitting 2 years?

    He is a man, he knows he signed a contract, he knows how it works, I doubt any of this is a surprise, he has been aching about a new contract for 2+ years.

    He is a good role player, who is coming to the end of his career - been a good career - but you don't pay those people for previous years.

    That "business is business" slogan that came with Morey, is the reason high level FA's aren't coming here. U gotta pay the guys that are your most loyal soldiers. Other players see that and want to come there and play.

    Right, he is an expiring 10m contract right now.....a valuable trading asset.

    That is what I just said. You trade him now while you can if you won’t pay him long term

    Harden holding out isn't really business. In this context "it's just business" means expect to get paid what the supply and demand market dictates. Harden is getting paid enough to live a playboy lifestyle... and make it personal.

    Business is the words written in the contract print. This is what you're making, this is how long you're making it. Contract terms do not speak to whether you get to leave on your own terms after trading half of the team's asset for your best friend, who kinda sucks.

    PJ shouldn't b**** about a contract... He can extend his career 5 yrs+ if he does like Tyson Chandler and Jared Dudley... Loyalty and obedience has its advantages... He'll recoup whatever money he thinks his delusional ass warrants in cheerleading and coaching the huddles via timeouts...

    Extend him. He's the heart and soul of this team. If you trade him, fine. Im glad he'll be in a better situation. Than with fans who dont appreciate him.

    LOL you are the reason players should never be loyal to teams ever. You should never be mad at Harden dude. People like you are the reason we get Super teams like the Warriors. You use people and dump them when you think they arent good enough. Straight disgusting talk.

    Whatever dude, im not about dumping someone who's value goes beyond what goes on the court(which is still pretty damn good). Yall can say what you want, but this dude has earned to be apart of this organization for longer.

    Stone should let PJ know that PJ gets an extension once Harden reports. See how much your boy vouches for you

    I agree, if it makes sense.
