He's decline since the first half of last season is really alarming, and that's the whole reason why he is in trade talks in the first place. He seems to have forgotten how to play basketball. With his contract, I'm not sure if I want to take the risk.
This is such hyperbole. He's scored 20+ points with 40%+ 3 shooting in the majority of his games this season.
Are we talking about a different player? Pascal is averaging 17 Pts on an abysmal .40/.30 shooting this season. You should also check his bubble and playoff stats from last year.
I know what he is. And isn’t. He’s a fine rotational piece, A Ben-Mc upgrade. Def not a Harden replacement.
No matter who we acquire for Harden.... we’re going to lose the trade ABSOLUTELY in the short term. The only thing that intrigues me about Toronto is the possibility of future unprotected first round picks. If Majiri leaves, and hypothetically if Harden doesn’t Re-up with Toronto, the raptors picks will be in the top 3 in just a couple more years.
He had one bad game that's dragging down his average. That tends to happen with a small sample. Take that game out and he's averaging around 20 PPG with 43//35 shooting, which is about what I guess he'll average throughout the season. That's pretty comparable to his 2018 - 2019 averages.
If he plays for the Raptors, the Team is playing in Florida I think, so Harden might play in Florida for 2 years, due to the pandemic.
Happy New Year, Brother! Yeah, we're on the same page. Simmons + the world....then Brown+.... We need Daryl and Danny to come to grips with their fear and desire.
Siakam would be my last choice if I had a pick between he, Simmons and MPJ. With that said I don’t agree with the complaints about his contract. Around $30M for a 26 year old All Star isn’t terrible. We can always trade him for more picks if he’s not the right fit. Worst case scenario I’d rather be paying Siakam’s contract than stuck paying one James Harden $50M a year for the next 5 years.
Well Harden loves rappers and strippers and clubs so he can have a good time with his buddy Drake up there.
I laugh at you guys who act like that Harden is the ONLY ball player that likes strippers. It's freaking hilarious!
Nah. Im out on Siakam. Old and he's playing like cheeks to start the year. Play hardball Stone. This deal sucks.
Then What? How long until we get another #1? Who were the #1s we had DREAM (1984-2001) --> Francis (2001-2005) --> Tmac (2005-2009) --->Kevin Martin (2009-2012) --> Harden (2012-Present) Rocket River
