    Sounds like ESPN needs something to write about. He ain't going anywhere.

    Acknowledging the FACT that Steph is the superior player compared to Harden makes him my boy?

    Keep reaching scrub.

    Giannis? LOL!

    It's simple. They should have never let go of CP3. With him and James we'd have a title by now.

    Imagine them with Tucker and Gordon being #1 and #2 in the league in 3P% (which they currently are).

    And 2 games away from 1st, why would you even care at this point in the season?

    I agree with most of this, but I think peak Ego is better than Middleton, what they are asked to do is very similar.

    With that said Houston never had a roster as deep as what Milwaukee had last year, maybe the 1st CP3 year but he got hurt.

    Because I like the Rockets and they suck right now so i have something else i want to happen regarding the outcomes of games. The Nets play the two best teams in the league next as well the Warriors and Suns. I have seen weirder things happen

    I can understand the sentiment, but this before the all star break and with guys being injured, why would you care when you know they will get better.

    Just saying being a 6th seed at this random time of the year should mean nothing.

    Because MY team needs them to fail for draft picks

    Sorry to break this to you, but being in 6th place before the all star game is not failing nor benefitting YOUR team.

    Do you not understand how the draft works?

    “I’d be worried about how this is going to go for Joel,” said one league exec. “If James has realized that he has to conform his game to what he has around him if he wants to win, then you’d have a lot of talent there. But it would require sacrifice. Every team that wins has guys making sacrifices in their personal games.”

    A Houston source questioned how Harden would be in Philadelphia, particularly when reunited with Morey.

    “That wasn’t a good situation,” he said. “He had a strong relationship with Daryl. Things never worked with James and Chris Paul or Russell Westbrook or Dwight Howard. At a certain point you have to ask who was really the problem.

    “If James gets to Philly, it could be a situation where Embiid’s complete game will depend on whether James wants to give him the ball or not — and James is a weird control freak. He will not throw him the ball at certain times in games just to let Joel know that, like, I’m the guy.”

    ^^That sounds like leftover propaganda being regurgitated from when we were trying to move him tbh

    Also, are the Nets the only team in history that would probably prefer not to have homecourt in the playoffs?

    Not a control freak but a toxic stat padder.

    I want Harden to go there so he can ruin them too.

    With the Nets I see KD and Kyrie treat him like a beta. They demand the ball right away from him when they want to
