Just a note, Mavs would have incentive to take a bidder away for Kyrie which can make it more likely he resigns for reasonable deal.
So if true that means that the only reason we weren't saddled with the anchor that was the Ben Simmons contract/circus is that Harden picked the Nyets over the Sixers! Wow! Chilling! Good thing that JH chose "wisely"! And by that I mean for us!
If Ime didn't want him then it's good we didn't bring him back imo. Let's give Ime the players he wants and see what he can do.
So it's reported Harden is upset with how Philadelphia handled the free agency. He took less last off season to help them and I'm sure there was a handshake agreement. Seems like Philadelphia back peddled on that.
As I thought about this last night……..I wonder if all the other coaching candidates who interviewed stated how they would integrate Harden if he came back……and if Ime was the only one who said no ball movement, does not take care of his body, does not set a good example on or off the court…..if Ime told the brass guys you can like him all you want but he does not fit into your organizational plans as a player? Patrick or Rafael can you let me know through Kelly?
I think Philly screwed Hardens money and he’s pissed. He only has 3 options, Houston Phoenix and La. The only cities he owns homes.
[MacMahon] "I have heard there is a beautiful, commissioned portrait of James Harden hanging prominently in the Morey home."
Remember, HARDEN OPTED in....he could have been an UFA - and he is finding out he can't make what he thought he would so he opted in..... His next contract is gonna be much smaller. DD
Harden should have cashed out on the best 4 year deal … 4/120, 4/110, etc. He is risking tens of millions by opting in, a serious injury or precipitous decline could happen at any time.
