NBA and tampering... the league with super teams, besties teaming up, family members getting contracts, players hanging out all summer, etc... the entire league is built on "tampering" LOL!!!
Fortunately we didn't sign Harden, so I have a hard time seeing the NBA levying too harsh of a penalty. We know Lebron is the king of tampering every year and has never been disciplined. But, we aren't Lebron.
It will be interesting to see if they fine the Rockets but never fined LeBron, similar to the Astros and Yankees.
NBA never misses a chance to punish the rockets. Prepare your bodies rockets fans. Harden with gutterbutt activity. im disappointed.
The NBA's investigation will uncover that this entire interaction contained 3 steps: Harden to rep: "Contact the Rockets and see if they'll do a supermax." Rep to Stone/Udoka: "If, hypothetically speaking, a superstar player of the general age, height, weight, build, and talent level of, say, James Harden, were to opt out of his contract with, say, the Sixers, and become a free agent, would you be willing to give him a supermax contract?" Stone/Udoka to rep: "F$%k no." *click*
I seriously doubt the Rockets interviewed Harden without permission so this is likely a non-story. The sixers were trying to get rid of Harden after all so they were likely letting him interview with whoever.
He keeps this up he'll be the first MVP to not make the Hall of Fame, period. Man's burnt every bridge he's crossed.
rockets fanbase is so ungrateful, historically treat their black players like crap, yall need to just come out and admit that yall want an all-euro team and be done with it cant wait to see all the sjw's cry when ballmer gives harden close to the max contract he was asking for from the sixers the league put in a "harden rule" james currently has the lowest usage rate of his career and he is still killing opposing teams when he is court hate on harden, but then praise luka.. makes no sense, but i see what it is
rose won't make it, harden by any measure is a top 30 all time player, the only situation for him not to make it would be a serious crime
It's not always about race. I didn't like Harden and loved Tucker, Ariza, and Beverley. I certainly don't praise or idolize Luka.
nah stop bruh, this website overrates every white nba player going back to vspan lol. look at how they are protecting josh giddey over in the dish, but relentlessly attacked kpj not trying to hear it. wouldnt trade sengun for the reigning mvp lol smh. makes no sense Luka in general has the same character traits as harden. Terrible defender, bit of a diva, hogs the ball. But he gets nothing but praise, and you wont have the mavs fanbase attacking him either. A mavs fan could make a blooper video of luka quitting on defense and yelling at refs in transition but they dont
I'm not saying lots of those people aren't racist. I was just speaking for myself. I don't like Luka for a lot of the same reasons I didn't like Harden. Im not gonna lie though, I don't even know who Giddey is. I only watch Rockets games, and mainly just know the stars of teams we always competed against most back in the days of our playoffs and rivalries. Football's my fav sport.
you're also completely making up all this nonsense. Multiple podcasts just this week were talking about how luka is overrated. Also look at how the people here constantly trash and talk down about Jokic, who got completely robbed of an mvp last year by the league
Nobody on this site talks down any white nba player, so stop. Yes jokic was robbed for mvp last year ok AND.. How many times have bill simmons, ryen russilo and zach lowe looked past what harden was doing to screw him over in mvp voting. I dont wanna hear nothing, this website has aided in the media destroying james hardens name EVEN WHEN HE WAS A ROCKET. So i aint tryna hear about another player from another team being robbed of nothing
Just because you repeat a lie, that doesn’t make it true. Bill simmons has railed against the russ over harden mvp countless times. Nobody talks down about jokic? Maybe you don’t read the trash people here say. Nobody is disrespected on this site more then jokic
Do you really believe what you are saying? White players - Rudy Tomjanovich and ??? Say something about Hakeem (franchise best player of all time) and watch the board go off. It’s not racial; but sure make that way.
you make it seem like the 2017 mvp robbery was the only instance, Its a bunch of other times as well in fact just last year harden sacrificed his game led the league in assists and did not make a single all-star or all-nba team. I didnt hear nobody in the media complaining. But when a white player gets robbed of something, everybody and they momma is crying about it. I aint tryna hear it man.
