    I legit thought he was going to get a championship (or at least get close) with Brooklyn. Instead, perhaps he has helped us gain a better draft pick (if Simmons comes out of the gate slowly).

    Will he win one with Philly? Only time can tell, but for whatever reason I'd like to see Harden win one and not so much Morey. But it is what it is.

    Yep, what do you do with all the money that a normal person cannot even dream of making?

    If my advice to young people was "go to church" I wouldn't offer advice either.

    Kyrie been on vacation for 90% of the season, so if Harden wanted to take a me day and head to Houston before the trade good for him…I am a huge proponent of self-care

    And he checks out in games as if he was ghosting everyone in the stands and coaching area.

    Harden did not want to carry the Nets-
    He weaseled his way out of Houston because he was tired of carrying the team-
    So he quit on them but it’s the nets fault he did-
    Should of traded Irving’s @ss and got Harden some help-
    What will happen now when Embiid gets re-injured?
    Rinse and repeat-

    Harden ain't exactly building relationships across the league but at least he and Morey are BFFs.

    At some point NBA stars are going to have to realize that they can't take 70% of a teams salary cap with 2 supermax stars and then expect the GM to field a winning team around them. The Warriors and Spurs were able to field modern dynasties by not doing that.

    The warriors owners were just willing to spend 200-300 mil on payroll.

    Lmao, literally a bunch of butt hurt babies in here are mad that he left because Kyrie is PART TIME LOOL. Sad bunch, a lot of whom, dont bother to show their face in the game threads.

    Now thats fine if you dont want to, but dont say crap about "leaving when the going gets tough" you do the exact same thing lol.

    No doubt, but the 4 all stars took slightly below market value at times and were aware of the cap implications
