    Which is why I mentioned Nash team having best or top two record had a lot to do with that because Shaq/Kobe could have won those mvp, had Nash did the same exact thing for Suns and finish bottom 3 record then he wouldn't have won any MVP

    Harden was super saiyan MVP caliber with Rockets, then in first season with Nets pre-injury was getting mentioned as MVP candidate with KD being that as well and taking more of the bigger pie just like Embiid is doing

    Now with Embiid being what Harden was in Houston he is the MVP finalist while Harden still put up MVP PG numbers as well, not saying Harden should win the award at present time but his numbers would get votes based on team record, but not enough to crack top 3

    When Sixers are in a tight game then they should go to Embiid, no different than when with Nets they would go to KD, but Harden was still playing at elite level getting 20+ and around 11 dimes

    I never said Harden should win MVP or he is Houston version, I said his stats with one of the best records in conference would be worthy to get MVP votes and his first season with Nets he was playing at MVP level before the injuries n drama, and a year and some change later injuries have been knocking at his door yet he still puts up 20+/10+ dimes, with Embiid and Maxey

    That is what makes Sixers dangerous in playoffs, they have two MVP caliber players

    Just to add more to the fire.

    Harden is telling everyone around him he’s coming home. Im not an insider but I know randoms.I’m around someone tonight who’s closer to him than anyone. Just saying. Enjoy Clutchfans.

    I much prefer Jaylen Brown and other key veterans to join the Rockets.

    If no Wemby, give up this pick and nets picks / add a player. Get brown. Get harden. We back.

    Brown isn't a free agent.

    What "key" Veterans are you referring too?

    The basketball junkie that I am, came across this you tube video.

    The Boston Celtics fan on the panel speaks at 7:30 into the video.

    Speaks on how Tatum loved Ime but Jaylen clashed with Ime.
    Doesn't think Brown will go to Houston now.

    IDK

    I’ve always had a feeling he just wants to come home. He tried to chase a ring in Philly and Brooklyn. Didn’t work out. Let’s see what we can build with version 2.0. I expect he gives us a deal (30 million per for 4 years).

    Sign Harden 3 years 30 per.
    Trade Jaygup and Ty for Alex Caruso.
    Trade #20, Their assets back, KMJ, Sengun, Tate for Claxton, DFS and Bridges.


    Claxton/Garuba
    Smith/Eason
    Bridges/DFS
    Green/KPJ
    Harden/Caruso

    Still leaves our 2023 pick to augment that lineup with a high potential player via draft or trade.

    Listen to the clap your hands podcast. It’s a 76ers podcast he thinks the rockets will almost certainly offer him the max and this might be the last run of the 76ers as currently constructed.

    I think you've missed adding about 5 first round picks if you're trying to get Bridges

    I am not saying you are wrong but that is nuts. That is saying you are trading Tucker, Gordon Harden, Martin, Tate, Sengun, 5 1st round picks for Bridges, DFS, Eason.

    They can keep him.

    No offense Von, but this might be one of the least smart posts I’ve seen on this board. Trading Green, assuming we’re getting Wemby and then making him a backup???
