Sam Amick: James Harden might be in Houston for a while

especially if it came at the cost of Tyler Herro

Da****?

The disrespect is epic, I have never seen such in my life.

Freakin Jrue Holiday was getting more respect.

 

The state of the union thread

 

I doubt Harden would be viewed as the right cure if the Sixers’ main problem is defense

 

whats with this fascination over tyler herro, he is a skinny guard with super short arms. He will NEVER be a good defender, the best you could hope he could become is bradley beal. Either way i dont seehim leading a team anywhere as the defacto guy. we will be in the lottery for years with that guy

 

Harden trashing article in disguise

 

rockets should just keep harden. harden has no leverage, when we start winning games hopefully he changes his mind and signs the extension

 

You just have to get picks in the 2030’s decade. Then the rockets will be good by 2035-2038 again.

 

Gonna have to take up for Lowe again, he has not been on that train He is the only one that keeps saying that Harden is a walking talking playoff birth and he has been shutting down some of these ridiculous trade scenarios.

He even said he would ship Kyrie out over Harden.

 

You just don't want anyone to take you seriously do you.

 

they watch games with hater goggles on, or just don’t watch many games at all because they’re casuals

people act like Harden is unique because he needs a lot of help or guys to step up in order to win a title like that isn’t the case with every superstar

Harden’s greatest co-star was a 33 yo CP3, and what did that get us? 65 wins and a game 7 in the WCF. Yeah, Harden went 12-29 in game 7 going against 4 stars by himself, but how did his help do? EG was his 2nd best player and went 2-12 from 3. Ariza went 0-12 from the field. Capela and PJ relied on Harden to set them up. We had zero bench. Imagine if Harden had a prime AD, or a KD, Klay, and Draymond, or a Wade and Bosh. Russ finally made it out of the 1st round for the 1st time since 2016 playing next to Harden, and he only played in 3 games in the 1st round. Coincidence? I think not

U can say that Harden has had some bad or disappointing moments/games in the playoffs, but to say that he sucks? Save those dumb, misinformed posts for the Youtube comments section.

 

What real stories would they leak to reduce offers?

 

You would think to some extent Harden is thinking that the trade scenarios going around for him are garbage. He should have enough pride in himself to know what his value should be worth and to an extent not just settle for a bunch of white guys.

 

Cultural curation is the new narrative - where was this kind of analysis when Magic was curating Jeffrey Epstein stripper orgies on the showtime lakers?

While Johnson didn't host as many shindigs as Buss, the ones that took place were beyond compare. The Lakers point guard neither drank alcohol nor did drugs, but his parties were odes to excess and extravagance. Many Lakers agree the most beautiful women they ever met were encountered at Johnson's. They were models, strippers, actresses, exotic dancers. There was no hotter ticket than an invite to the mansion, but—while Laker players and opponents were almost always allowed—women had to meet certain criteria. First, they had to be gorgeous. Second, they had to be promiscuously dressed. Third, they had to be willing to do . . . things.

Johnson fancied himself not merely an entertainer, but a maestro. "If you ever die and go to heaven, you want heaven to be Magic's house parties," said Frank Brickowski, a future Lakers teammate. "He would have the finest girls in L.A. there. The absolute finest. And at midnight you had to get busy with somebody or you had to get the **** out. So if you were a guy, at midnight you'd get as close as you could to the hottest possible woman. Magic went around in this freaky voyeuristic way. He'd check on you. He'd go throughout the house, the pool. He'd order people to start doing things. All you had to be was near a chick. There were guys who would yell, 'Magic, she's not getting busy! She's not!' He'd run over and she'd get busy. Celebrity is seductive in L.A. Girls have this desperation about them, like moths to a flame. It's sad. But when you're young and single, fame matters."

Just because one was a Laker didn't mean sexual conquests always came easily. Yet Johnson wasn't merely the most eligible bachelor in Los Angeles—he was the most eligible bachelor in California. He once wrote of his rendezvous: "Some were secretaries. Some were lawyers. Quite a few were actresses or models. Others were teachers, editors, accountants, or entrepreneurs. There were bimbos, too, but not that many. Most of these women were college-educated professionals. Some were black, some were white, some were Hispanic, or Asian. Some of these women were very open about what they were doing, and some were more discreet. A few would even brag about all the players they had slept with. For others, this was all a part of a very secret life.

"Most of them were in their mid-20s. Every now and then you'd come across a teenager, but if you were smart you stayed away from her. These kids were simply too young—not only legally, but emotionally, too."

This was the Sodom and Gomorrah-esque world that greeted A. C. Green.​

 

the way they talk about Harden, you’d swear it was Russell Westbrook who was actually on the trade block...basically not wanted and holds little value...ridiculous

 

Yeah I was trying to get on the Stone Train but somebody needs to be coming out strongly for Harden even if everything is true (Which I don't believe at all) this is madness.

 

Its amazing the teams some want to roll with but can't stand Harden because he could not beat GS.

 

it just shows how strong their hate for Harden is

1 dude really made a thread on here saying “I’d rather lose with ball movement than win watching Harden ISO ball”...lmao

 

sounds like a dadakota special

 

I want to kill myself.

I bet Morey is dying laughing over all of this and him and Harden are plotting.

 

This guy!

Ha!
