    Great news, if he’s going to work on off the ball movement and catch and shooting then there is no stopping us!

    The coaching staff of the team are the guys that voted Giannis over James for MVP. Or basically so. Why even bother right?

    Good. Very good. Work on that floater James. Come back with a Tony Parker like automatic teardrop. Thats whats gonna make you utterly unstoppable.

    Dude was a below the rim PG(granted prime Tony Parker was fast as a blur) and from 2005- 2016, his average FG% is over 50%.


    This is what Harden needs. If he gets this down, teams can't ignore his inbetween games anymore.

    Idk to me this is a mistake. When you have an opportunity to team up with great players you can only get better.

    Did you see his neck in that last picture... looks like he has gained weight. Commitment is just not there. Maybe we should trade him for Kevin Love.

    If Tucker and Gordon follow suit and we start seeing pictures of all of them playing together then our ceiling this season goes through the roof.

    Lol I think harden is at the point where that doesn't apply, where kwahi, lbj, curry at on this team


    Exactly, its nothing more harden can learn from his peer. He is top five.

    Now we only need Beal, Lillard, Love, Mccollum and Kemba to also withdraw so we have a chance to beat you.

    Ben Simmons just pulled out of our national team but we always give USA a run, no matter what. Definitely leaves them vulnerable.

    Side note - watch Harden come back in terrific condition. He’s made this power move and will be gunning early to make it work. Sorry strippers, you’ll have to wait...

    Very few “great” players on that roster this year. Plus Harden gets better in the offseason regardless.
    The team would benefit more from him and Westbrook working out together instead.
