    Funniest part is most of the guys he really wanted to play with and immediately it went bad or as soon as they hit hardship it went bad

    Thank you
    This is how I remember his Houston tenure evolving as well

    I've been accused of confusing my opinions with facts often enough recently on here ...
    I was honestly starting to wonder

    WTF does this have to do with anything?

    Now you want to talk about how many of these guys got hurt in the playoffs and the regular season?

    Did you really say only Harden seems to openly alienate every star he's played with while ignoring Howard and Irving and Paul?

    Agenda much?

    To be fair, a lot of those soured relationships were not all Harden's fault.

    Dwight's problem is mostly Dwight's fault.

    CP3 could be annoying as hell. But I blame Harden mostly for refusing to adjust.

    Westbrook is Westbrook.

    On the Nets stint, Harden apologists typically blame everything on Kyrie, which has its merit. But the whole thing removed all doubt about Harden's passive aggressive personality. He apparently never took the initiative to make the situation better. He just wanted to be out when things didn't go well. The "not a leader" stigma was totally validated. (BTW, Durant was equally passive and did not show any leadership quality either.)

    Now let's wait and see how the Embiid thing ends.

    It's Dwight, Morey, and Harden's fault. All of them.

    Dwight came here to co-star with Harden. After a few years, Morey wanted the offense to be Harden-centric. This didn't sit well with Dwight, and he became disgruntled. Harden supported Morey, and the rest is history.

    Personally, I think this is the reason that we had so much trouble attracting talent. The NBA is a brotherhood, right? How do you think others stars felt about Harden siding with management versus Dwight?

    This will prove interesting
    This will be a make or break decision with me for Harden
    I think he gave his word that he would OPT out
    If he goes back on his word . . .. it will be damaging

    The most eye-opening thing these playoffs was how thin Philly was, there should be no reason why Green is playing major minutes on a playoff team looking to contend and the lack of 3 point shooting all around.

    With that said Philly was an eye injury away from going to the ECF don't think they would have gotten past Boston.

    Still wouldn’t do it. No lift, No burst. I just think his time is up. Let him opt in that one year and prove it. Then let the market decide his fate.

    I agree with this. He's just there to be a PG these days. He might even play better for them if he's forced into a contract year.

    Another delusional take with a bunch of excuses. Your loser hero was good enough to show up in 1 game out of 6. Why couldn’t he do that a few more times? Embiid played The series got tied up 2-2 and became a best of 3 series. Hear didn’t have their starting PG. Here’s reminder #698756 your bum ass hero ain’t ever gonna win a championship. Keep dreaming.

    Why does Philly owner need to answer to other owners about who he hires as his personnel?

    Teams have been tanking since Spurs tanked to get Tim Duncan or Rox tanked to get Hakeem. Hell Rox sat out their vets last 20 games of the season. It aint nothing new and Philly doesnt need to answer to other owners about tanking when teams have been tanking since forever.

    I suggest you read up on Hinkie and why he's no longer with Philly.
