    h/t to @J.R.

    "but sources say Harden will only entertain suitors that present a competitive roster and the basketball freedom for the star to be himself, sources say."

    lmao... dude is always who he is - a self absorbed narcissistic ass... talented af... but an asshat. lol

    obviously he wants 4 years - last big payday b4 'pulling the ripcord' and starting to enjoy retirement... lol
    i pretty much guarantee those last 2 years will become a negative value contract...

    He'll got to San Antonio watch. Pop always loved him and that team would let him shoot it 30 times a game while he threw lobs to Wemby the rest of the time and never needs to play defense with Wemby cleaning everything up.

    I read this as Harden is telling Houston to trade the 4th pick for a win-now player or he’s not coming. If he really wants 4 years, are the 76ers going to commit to that? If they do, they are basically locked into a team that’s done nothing.

    Yeah if this report is true I'm off the Harden signing. Gotta adapt as you age, fit a role to help the team, he's not worth a four year max anymore at age 34 next season.

    I love the terms....

    Let Harden be Harden and only show up once or twice......once in a while.

    Harden the Dictator of Terms.

    "But it's different this time. He'll change. He can be the new CP3"

    Nah

    Some of yall want Harden not realizing he doesn't want to mentor these kids. Get paid, no responsibility for anyone but himself, trade most of our future away to build around him. I promise this is more than just the #4 pick.

    It seems D'Antoni is the only guy that tolerates Harden's original game.

    Silas being up there as well.

    This also confirmed that Harden only wanted Wemby.

    That actually makes a ton of sense. Pop always saw him as Manu Ginobili reincarnated and Harden respects Pop. Only issue is I'm not sure James is on board with San Antonio the city.

    Watched old footages, this looked like a Euro stepping, flopping Dwyane Wade.

    James would only be an hour long private jet flight away from his favorite Houston strip clubs!

    Maybe - depends on the impact Wemby can make within 4 years and the peripheral players those two would attract. It definitely makes Pop relevant again so there is that.

    I think we are getting Harden, he wants the Max and nobody can give him the Max outright. Teams can do sign and trades but Philly might not help Harden if they leave them….Harden is hard core….messed over the Rockets, Brooklyn and now Philly….and now he want him back….no more than two years for Harden but Tillman is desperate
