    Ironically, this poster was both a 99er and a LoF, this dude was/is a regular in all the Jerry Lin threads.

    This man was smacked by Tinman so hard that he's taking it out on anyone who doesn't spend their lives hating on a basketball player.

    Imagine if Tilman thought Morey was more important than Westbrick...

    Harden remains invested in competing for the title in Brooklyn this season, according to multiple sources with knowledge of the situation. But Harden has recently informed several confidants—including former teammates and coaches—of his interest in exploring other opportunities outside of Brooklyn this summer, league sources told B/R.

    "James isn't going to hold back," said a person familiar with Harden. "He's gonna tell you where he stands."

    Harden has been vocal to Nets figures and close contacts alike about his frustrations regarding Kyrie Irving's part-time playing status. A recent injury to Kevin Durant has exacerbated the issue, leaving Harden to shoulder the majority of the offensive burden during Brooklyn home games.

    Nets coach Steve Nash's fluid rotations have also disappointed Harden, sources told B/R. Nash has favored hot-hand closing lineups, rather than a fixed crunch-time unit.

    His new city could also be an issue. According to multiple sources, Harden has not enjoyed living in Brooklyn, compared to his days as a central Houston magnate. Outside of the change in climate, the chasm between state taxes in New York versus Texas is quite obvious as well.

    To be clear: There has been no trade request. A Nets-Sixers deal is highly unlikely to materialize prior to the deadline. Yet Harden's apparent openness to joining Embiid and reuniting with Philadelphia president Daryl Morey will loom over the Sixers' trade conversations for Simmons these next three weeks. A potential sign-and-trade for Simmons this offseason, was noted by Bleacher Report back in early December.

    If Harden were to reach free agency, teaming with Embiid in Philadelphia would present one of the few situations that could offer Harden a similar chance to capture the championships he desires. Since his Rockets days, Dwyane Wade's three titles have long been somewhat of a self-imposed benchmark for Harden's career. His connection to Morey is clear, and Harden is also known to hold a relationship with Sixers minority owner Michael Rubin.

    Philadelphia is not necessarily holding onto Simmons to acquire Harden this summer, sources said. But it seems both the Sixers front office and Harden himself are viewing that potential marriage as a backstop for their respective futures. Philadelphia officials and executives across the league continue to monitor Bradley Beal's status in Washington.

    Harden will probably leave Brooklyn if they don't win a championship. There is a **** load of noise coming from that end, and when Harden was here, the only time the noise got this damn loud, was when he was ready to move on from us. I mean, statements are coming out that he doesn't enjoying living in Brooklyn and is frustrated with the Kyrie situation. Next thing you know, his mom will be on twitter defending her son @DreamShook.

    And so it begins. I remember seeing these type of stories in the beginning of his leave from Houston. Good. Them getting bounced in the playoffs and him leaving setting the picks in prime position for trade bait is great to hear.

    I just hope Harden leaves on his own and doesn't give Brooklyn anything back worth rebuilding. Nets sucking for the next few years is a must.

    I didn't realize Bembry went so late in the draft... Why even have a #95 loto ball?

    left Houston to form a "super team". Must be depressing for him, no wonder he wants to leave

    I hope the nets crash and burn. Harden just an unlucky dude.

    should have stayed with us in Houston. NY is a big place and there are no real Nets fans. Nobody cares about you in NY if you aren't a part of the Knicks. going from OKC to Houston to NY must be a huge shock to Harden's social relevancy.

    nooo keep them. the rockets have a chance for a long term dynasty. Id love them to acquire the lakers 2027 pick as well. It would be amazing to have a top 5 team while still having lottery picks coming in.

    Amazing that Kyrie's legacy went from "Having an out of body experience and hitting the biggest shot in NBA finals history" to "Cancer that single-handedly dismantaled multiple dynasties."
