What about Embiid? Porzingis? Wiggins? Anthony Davis? And we haven't seen Simmons play yet. Wrong. What we have now IS mediocre. Look at the Warriors/Cavs. Compared to them, we are absolutely mediocre.
You can't deal Harden, period. We would never get equal value. He needs to mature though, that much is for sure. JVG said it best when talking about Stacy and Yao. "You need knifefighters around those guys". I love what Daryl has done with the roster, but we absolutely lack toughness. We need more players that carry an edge personality/play wise, and I would be willing to sacrifice some offensive talent to get that edge. Luckily, there are some great pickups available in FA this summer. I'm excited to see what Dork Elvis does.
the problem with you lin fans, is you keep comparing harden to "iverson, dantley, melo", when you should be comparing harden to jerry west, sidney moncrief, magic johnson, kobe bryant( with the intangibles of lebron) harden and lebron are the only players in the league right now where you put them on any team and you are guareneteed to win 50 games
curry has no draymon green( 3x dpoy runner up), kevin durant( mvp), klay thompson( all-nba slection 3rd team)... nope its all curry and his 3 point shotjacking plz harden won 55 games with players and a coach the gms and owners around that NOBODY WANTED. wake me up when curry carries a team as the man.. no finals mvp, choked a 3-1 series lead, hasnt proven he can win a game without draymon green in the lineup( yea thats the real secret and reason the refs wont throw draymon outta the game) curry is nothing but hype
Don't want to trade him but probably would for Marcus Smart+Jaylen Brown+#1 pick+next years Nets pick.
lol what a stupid post. the only point you're trying to make is harden won 55 games. how embarrassing honestly. just stop for your own sake
dont make me bump the , " dantoni has been hired thread". Nobody wanted gordon, anderson and dantoni. Its harden that makes this team you would have have to throw in this years first overall as well.. harden as much as he disliked here, is an alltime great
dont make me bump the, dantoni has been hired thread. Nobody thought it would work, everybody wanted courtney lee over gordon, majority were for support of anderson signing because of the dmo angle... but for most harden got it done with the same roster as last year minus the cancer dwight coward and players and coach that no team was willing to sign curry is overhyped, the mvp of that team draymon, which is why the refs wont ever throw him out. Draymon owns the refs and he knows it, Draymon knows the league has market stephen curry to little kids and when draymon leaves the court the warriors are just flat out not the same team. Its why when curry was out in our series last year playoffs it felt like the warriors defense got even better
Their is no player with equal value of harden in the league other than LeBron, the media knows it, nba front offices know it, advanced metrics know it. Morey know it, basketball reference knows it. Somehow houstonians, max kellerman, and casual nba fan dont
You do realize the games you talked about 3-1 series lead was NBA final, right? You sure it was not against the old spurs team min 2 starters?
lol, yeah, you are right, Lebron took his team to the NBA finals how many times? he is the only player in the whole NBA has equal value to Harden.
you gonna keep dancing in circles, or you gonna actually offer a rebuttal. Curry posted a PER below 25 this year
Curry played like garbage in the finals , getting his shot blocked by lebron at every turn hahaha lebron tucked him into bed.. uniamous mvp my ass. imagine how much differently the world would view harden if he would won his rightful mvp in 2015. both he and curry would have 1 each, and according basketball reference harden should be working on his second right now
LeBron also plays in the east and has kyrie and love. When Lebron didnt have dwade, bosh, love and kyrie.. i remmeber he used to get owned in the playoffs by the pistons, and the paul pierce led celtics, the cancer dwight knocked him out one year, proving one man cant do it by himself
The funny thing is It seems that his team is going to NBA final again and more than likely they will win the championship.
as much stupid stuff that you're flooding the garm with right now, it's not worth it because you have no sense of objectivity or realism
if they win the nba championship curry will 0-2 on finals mvp... draymon would have won it last year, we all know that. and durant has taken his game to another level in the playoffs lol.... kyrie will torch curry AGAIN
