    Not necessarily.

    There can be advantages.

    Because some fans are dumb and they want to make a bad signing even worse.

    If the sign and trade preserves cap space to get somebody better than Tate and KPJ? Don't dismiss this.

    Retire his #13 jersey and call it a day. Jalen brown should be the target next summer

    Lol @ Embid’s comments. Embid escaping accountability, trying to hold onto Harden, and throwing all of his other teammates under the bus.

    meanwhile Harden is refusing to support Doc’s return.

    I’m getting a distinct vibe here lol

    They would ask that of him here too to not dominate the ball as much and pass it up to the young guns.

    James returning highly unlikely. He will almost certainly opt for a contender.

    I think the board could use 6 or 7 more James Harden threads. These are rookie numbers.

    If the Suns are able to move CP3 and/or Ayton, they will be going after Harden or Kyrie. And I think a short-term deal at max money to compete with his buddy in a better environment is going to be enticing to James.

    No reason to bring Harden back if we land Scoot Henderson. You just hand him the keys to the offense and run with that. If KPJ is willing to come off the bench as 6th man, that's fine. Otherwise, he can be gone too.

    However, you're wrong about Scoot's shooting. He's money from the mid-range, and his 3P shooting is not great yet, but it's better than you think because the G-League doesn't include exhibition games in total stats (with them, he shot 33%, not 27%). I wouldn't be surprised if he was a roughly league average 3P shooter as a rookie.

    But yeah, no Harden if we land Scoot.

    More likely, he teaches which nightclubs to frequent.
