    Whelp. Gonna b annoying seeing new anti harden poster every game.

    The rest of us will get to enjoy harden brilliance if he buys in.

    Quite delusional if u think trading away harden will get us a better chance of winning A ring. Media is driving down hardens value and once we trade him. We are gonna be everyone punching bag for trading away one of the best player to grace the court for peanut, Hopkins trade part 2

    Amick is a Morey mouthpiece. The media game has begun.

    If the price was lower none of those GM would hesitate to take him. The Rockets are asking a lot and rightly so.

    @pippendagimp - yooooo "fkin media w**** b****es" is exactly how I felt! Thanks for so eloquently speaking my mind for me! LOL

    but seriously what are those blue blood, culturally hip and upset "fans" going to do now? I thought it was either their support or James Harden? Oops.

    Melo, a toxic player about 2 or 3 tiers below Harden at his best had multiple suitors in 2014 free agency, but Harden, an MVP who pretty much guarantees 50+ wins and a 2nd round appearance in the West and could catapult several teams into legit contention is basically a moldy mayo sandwich that nobody wants according to the media. Foh...

    they want to try and fleece us and acquire Harden for table scraps...it’s not gonna happen

    every day, it’s a new hit piece or smear job

    no you shouldn't. AD didn't even get traded for any all stars even though Ingram became one AFTER the fact and AD is several years younger than James. James value isn't going to increase as he ages. what is happening is most likely Philly just trying to wait and see how their team looks. if they underachieve before the deadline then they pull the trigger. I'm sure they feel like they can wait because rockets want Simmons the most from all other teams offers. stars over 30 arent as valuable as yall think. James doesn't have much longer at a high level.

    media is setting the narrative, and all the casual fans are eating it up, but when Harden goes to their team and they reach heights they haven’t seen in years or even decades, they’ll be calling him a legend

    He basically needed to write an article and figured that he would just jump in the current narrative..... he didn't talk to anyone in any of the front offices of the teams in a position to trade for James Harden.... and if he did, what they hell does everyone think they would say... "Ohh gosh! We are going to take it up the ass to add 35/8/8!"

    At this point it is all BS pile on and what is messed up is that people will remember this crap while Miss Piggy Ramona Shelburne orders and eats two large burritos, and Windhorst drinks turkey gravy until his heart explodes and Zach "Nose" Lowe gives more creepy stories about how he stalked women in college.

    Anthony Davis wasn't as good as Harden, he was often injured, he had one year less on his contract and made it clear he would sign with the Lakers when he hit free agency the next year.

    The Harden hate is very strong. The media is also managing some Houston fans to turn against Harden successfully. This article is another load of garbage with nothing but speculation.

    The fact that they question whether Milwaukee would even want to trade for him is ****ing laughable. Imagine Stone being dumb enough to offer a trade like Middleton/DiVancinos (I don't know how to spell his name)/4 future FRPs unprotected. Are you telling me that Milwaukee would say no!?!? Get the **** out of here.
