Harden left Brooklyn and stayed in Houston until a deal got made

Harden played in 80 games for BK, and he was barely there for a year

Kyrie’s been there since 2019, and has played in just 87 games

KD’s played in 71 games

at least KD’s absences are injury related…a significant part of Kyrie’s absences have been for random sabbaticals like last season and for fckery this season

Harden played on a grade 2 hamstring for BK in the playoffs…Kyrie will gladly miss home playoff games if there’s no mandate change

imagine playing a home playoff game against the Bucks or some other contender, and Kyrie is at home chillin perfectly healthy just to show back up for the next road game…I know KD almost beat the Bucks last year, but he had to play the entire game and drop 48 and 49 points just to be competitive against them at home…if he drops 35 or 40 instead, Milwaukee wins easily

 

Harden joined kd and iriving to get carried or have help.

Why the fk would anyone like it when your costar plays part time and the other one is Injured?

Harden was putting his body on the line playing on an Injured hammy while kyrie couldn't even bother to get vaccinated.

 

Ahh so it was a stripper in Houston that broke the trade.

 

Embiid gonna be like the rest of Rockets fans were when Harden choked over and over

 

Harden and Morey love each other

 

I took a job once based on what they told me it would be like. When it was clear that it wasn’t as advertised, I quit and found another job. Harden got sold on a trio and they were available for 16 games. Good move on his part IMO.

 

This is proof of the quality of Houston strip clubs. Take your time here, James ... especially since the Nets can't start their new players until your physical is done.

 

Between Embiid and Harden, only one has advanced past the second round. And it ain’t Embiid.

In fact, Harden’s been to the conference finals twice and the NBA Finals once.

 

Harden quitting is nothing new

 

It's already rumored getting off his PJ that Harden’s sick of Embiid and is forcing his way 2 the Miami Heat. This is clearly the fault of Tilman Fertitta

 

Morey got his man & the Nets picks are about to be nice!

 

My takeaway from this story is that I'm grateful he's no longer on the Rockets. The nightlife is catching up to him.

 

have u been?

 

Yeah...pretty sure it's because Harden recognizes injuries, that Harden wanted out.

KD was injured for much of the regular season, last season, too. And while Kyrie was also out, Harden had to carry that team to the 2nd seed, ending 1 game back from the overall highest seed in the east.

So what happens this year? KD is fully healthy and Kyrie puts the team / job ahead of his beliefs, right? Nope. KD is injured again. And Kyrie is also out because his beliefs conflict with the state of NY. So, again, the onus is on Harden to carry a roster (far worse than the one last year) just to stay afloat in the competitive east.

Harden recognizes injuries happen. It's because he can't count on KD staying healthy and Kyrie playing consistently, that he wanted out or wanted to quit or whatever you use to describe the situation.

Will Embiid's current good health be a guarantee? No - Embiid definitely has an injury history too. But Embiid is younger than KD, is willing to play every game if healthy, and the 76ers have a deeper roster than the Nets. Despite the backlash, it's the better situation.

 

Well, hopefully the first one at least, anyway. I'm not gonna jinx this.

 

Exactly. There are no mask mandates in the champagne room in Texas.

 

Premeditated tampering.
