    Not sure why you are so mad. Kyrie not playing full time is a major reason why Harden doesn't like him. But I remember there's some report that their chemistry wasn't that good even before this whole vax thing happened.

    Harden wanted to go to Brooklyn supposedly because Durant was there. That relationship went south.

    No need to jump to Harden's defense. I didn't say whose fault it was. Just pointing out the reasons why Harden wanted to leave.

    I don't think Harden and Howard were close to begin with. He did want Paul and he clearly wanted Westbrook.

    I don't blame Harden for Dwight's issue. But getting rid of Paul and the whole Westbrook come and go thing had his hand in it.

    Im just saying them not getting a long is totally about Kyrie being part time. Its just weird when people phrase it like its just normal run of the mill thing. He's playig part time in the NBA and is an antivaxxer.

    I would have been okay with trading Simmons for more assets. That situation would not have happend, if they just let him sit out till they got a deal done. Those Nets picks are still assets that we got.

    I think I was one of the few people here really hoping the Nets/Sixers trade didnt happen. I said then and maintain now that Harden has declined. He is slower, his athleticism has gone down, and he needs the ball in his hands a lot. Seeing him decline with the Nets would have been preferable to seeing him leave and them get Curry, Drummond, Simmons, and picks. In the long run, that trade diluted our future picks considerably as they now have more young players who can keep the team afloat in the long term.

    I think a lot of us had that opinion as well. The only thing that is on the bright side is that Durant has not shown to be durable this season, and Kyrie as talented as he is would randomly miss games and also have injury issues

    Like I said I hope green is as good or better than James.

    rockets should be in the play in tournament next year if he is as good as y’all talking him up over in the garm.

    That's unrealistic, Green is a star for sure....Its unfair to say he will lead Rockets to a play in in his second year with the $hit coaching and disaster at PG and Center... 3-4 years I do think Green leads Rockets to a play in......

    perhaps harden would still be good if he didnt vaxx?
    theres no lack of scientific information pointing to vaccines being harmful...its odd that harden decline and not being an iron man he was begun with the arrival of the vaccines...

    WHO are these doctors? I suspect these are the very same ones reccomending vaccines...they cant be trusted ...conflict of interests....they are paid for promoting it and doing their job at gunpoint....not everyone can be a giant like kyrie to stand his ground....

    It's done this way for liability purposes, also for setting expectations low. I am thrilled when a patient of mine does better than I had anticipated.

    Harden has a LOT of miles on his body. How many years was he among the league leaders in minutes and time of possession while carrying Ryan Anderson and Francisco Garcia to the playoffs?

    For better or worse, the team relied on Harden to generate nearly EVERY offensive possession for 8 years. It’s kind of miraculous he was able to maintain his otherworldly production for as long as he did.
