    I forgot that Ime got to see Harden up close and personal in Brooklyn when they were both there.

    He saw the way he operates on and off the court and wanted no parts of that.

    Didn't Ime already say "thanks but no thanks" to bringing back Harden just on principle?

    If Embiid asks out of Philly, I'm all for giving up a bunch of assets to get him. Let James go play with the Clippers like he wants. he was just using us as leverage anyway...

    Saw James grab 4 trill burgers from Bun B at once, and then post himself chugging a bottle of wine at 4:10am. Why do the clippers even want him. I believe he liked not being in LA because he could focus on basketball in Houston. This just seems like it is going to be a sad ending to his career.

    This started way back in the Wilt/Kareem days

    Pretty sure that's also how Rockets got a young prime M Malone

    Harden/Lillard/KD/Irving etc are just the new current recycled version, nothing new under the sun

    The NBA teams can't at will (but do/can) get rid of a player when they get old or injured or fall off as they please under contract and expect a player not to rattle the cage if they want out in that same agreement being in their healthy prime, especially if they have given them yrs of service and the GM fails to build a contender around them

    Lillard deal is probably already done with Heat, but since off-season is slow its better to wait it out and drop the news in few weeks or so after they figure out the Harden situation

    LeBron James, Chris Paul, Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Bosh, Maverick Carter started the whole 50 Million and 2 Million Vet Min

    Dennis Rodman I believe is the Pioneer of Flying to Vegas During the NBA Season, The Last Dance really did show almost everything.

    1990s NBA Teams Bulls and Rockets did the Strip Club and Clubbing

    The San Antonio Spurs started the Load Management, LeBron James then took Load Management to another level sitting out Road Games.

    Zion Williamson took the money and sat out and fooled around with women, Ben Simmons took the money and Sat out for trade and spending time with women, James Harden just eat protests until bring traded, flys out Vegas Club, Strip Club etc gets drunk.

    LeBron James, Chris Paul, Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Bosh, Maverick Carter after David Stern left and Adam Silver.
    The Players were like We Found a Pushover.

    Adam Silver is the Nerd that tries to fit in with the Fake Cool Gang, but the Nerd doesn't feel good about himself.

    Nerd does the Homework for the Jock. That is Adam Silver.

    his point is valid though, it’s bad for the league

    When Harden forced his way out we were forced to rebuild. It hasn’t always been this way. That’s what free agency was supposed to be. You don’t get to demand to be traded to the Lakers, the Clippers or the Heat. Used to be it was players at the end of their careers. Now it’s just whenever you’re disgruntled. The player picks the destination and his old team is left with the best lowball offer his new team is willing to offer.
