ok. Lol. Confusing. I have no idea what we’re talking about anymore lol. I just smoked a bowl and am too high now. Harden goes. Harden stays. Whatever. Something will happen. We’lol be disappointed ultimately. Lol. That’s the way most seasons end.
Whoops, my apologies thought you were talking about MPJ. They arent trading Murray to us, but Jokic and Harden are instant title contenders. Harden is so much better than him, its not even funny. The fit with Jokic is minimal to the sheer talent they would have on the court.
Remember the Clippers wanted Harden before they settled for George last season. There was a rumour they tried to see if Harden was available last season.
That's easy, Harden plays disgruntled and we won't be contender for sure. I think Harden has basically given up on this franchise, he wants to take the easy route like KD and join a team with 2 superstars.
But he's getting paid like he already has a jump shot. Truth be told, production-wise very few max / near-max contract players actually live up to the money. Lebron, Curry during the championship years, Durant in his OKC/GSW run... and Harden. Players decline from age, league evolves, injuries (which is not the player's fault per se, but the org is on the hook). Harden has earned his pay check, whereas Simmons has not. * League evolved to threes, which Harden has adapted (Simmons has not). * Harden is an iron man; Simmons missed the bubble playoff. * Harden has a track record for production, whereas, fans debate on Simmon's potential. If Simmon's contract was cheaper, but it's not. The stock price is over valued.
It’s jerry west the ultimate GM. I would put nothing past him at this point, so if anyone could pull a cat out of the bag and get assets in a three way it could be him. So brabra about the clippers might be legit
yeah. I think we target Beal with all the picks after that. Beal is an ideal fit with Simmons as a scorer that doesn’t need the ball as much as Harden. They are also only about 3 years apart, so that fits with the long term team building strategy.
I am not a fan of Simmons. He doesn’t fit well with John and I don’t think he will ever develop a reliable jump shot. His inability to shoot will be exposed in the playoffs. Unpopular opinion but I don’t want him. He’s overhyped.
