The “give me Harden over FVV” takes are embarrassing

Zubac dropped 21 points in the season opener, and dropped 24 points in game 2

imagine what Harden would do with Sengun…just imagine

 

James Harden beating Joker as the main guy in 2024, and some of y'all talking about some 'Fred VanVleet'.

Stop disrespecting one of the greatest to lace 'em up.

 

Imagine the Amen and Jalen lob game too? Beard would weaponize our youngsters like no other could. "Steady Freddy" aint ****.

 

Bingo

 

Bari would soar. I think senguin may take a hit unless harden would be contend to let him run the offense but guys like Bari, Shepard, Eason, amen even whitmore would be benefit.

 

Nah, James is too smart for that. Look at how well he plays a 2 man game with Zubac who is a significantly lesser threat than Alpi. They'd be unguardable in the 2 man game for sure. Jalen would also be insane with Harden as his PG, think Maxey with 3 times the hops...

 

I'll never buy nba 2k EVER again after how they gave james harden a preseason overall of 84.. i dont even care if in the next update his overall jumps 6 points to a 90. giving harden the same preseason overall as FVV is borderline a fireable offense, and to me it was a fireable offense


also zach lowe and their ilk over at espn and fs1 said the clippers would finish as the 13th seed in the west

i bet harden still wont get allnba and mvp votes if he leads this team to a top 4 or 5 seed. Meanwhile lebron and ad can be in the play-in damn near every year and their spots on that team are guarenteed locks

 

As much as I love Beard, if he's not playing on the Rockets idgaf if they make him a 77, it's not like I'ma play with him at any point anyway haha.

 

As simple as this. If you dont understand this, you dont understand basketball

 

Harden on a 2-year deal with a player option next year is bad for the Rockets' future?

Break that one down for me.

 

How embarrassing, you really made a "you don't understand basketball" post whilst clearly showing you don't understand 1. Basketball, 2.Money/salary caps. Talking about owning yourself.

 

You missed "a 2 year deal that's CHEAPER than what we're paying a significantly lesser talent in FVV."

 

Harden would have been great as a passer on this team no doubt.

 

Folks overlook that it is Norman Powell that is the driving force behind the comebacks.....Harden is useful but it ain't really only him.

 

Harden would make Sengun and MVP and turn jalen into Tyrese Maxey. I am still mad at Udoka for stopping Stone form signing him. I like fred dont get me wrong he's a good steady leader but he's not harden.

 

This is a BS lie. Harden had 16 assists and if you watched these games Powell is open because of Harden off of the Harden Zubac pick n rolls. I watch all clips games and I watch clips podcasts and if you listen to them all credit goes to Harden because their offense looks awful when Harden leaves the floor. Powell was hitting shots and if you play with Harden and you can make shots youre gonna look good as hell. its the reason he can take mediocre talent and still make the playoffs year after year.

 

I understand that but if the organization says to you.....Choose between Udoka as new coach or getting Harden back.....

I guess tons of posters are still choosing Udoka to right that ship wreck.

 

I would choose Harden and another good coach. Udoka wasnt the only guy who should have been considered.

 

Well, yeah, I did not say Harden could not pass but Harden was not shooting well himself the last 2 games.

He has lost a step and cannot finish as well as he could 5 years ago....

I am sure he will get his shot back to 35% but yeah he would not get those layups to fall.

 

Harden is was better than FVV. It's not even a conversation
