the funny thing is that if u increase the shooting percentages, that 17 and 10 average the past 5 games is a better statline than Ben Simmons who people call this foundational piece that u build around Simmons had 5 points tonight, but he’s foundational...
Are we really? That Scola, Dragic, Lee, and Lowry team was not even a playoff team — but it was one of the most fun teams we’ve had.
There is something to watching a team like that. They play hard, they give their best, and you can never be disappointed because you know they would be lucky to see the 2nd round.
No, teams can’t give the Rockets enough during the season. Won’t be traded. Teams will still want Harden in the offseason......chalk up the stats as being Silas related. Can’t trade Harden for so-so players during the season. Then he goes on to be top 5 player in the league in 21/22. We will never hear the end of it. You know, like when people say how in the world did the Thunder let Harden go for K-Mart rental, Lamb and S Adams. Laugh out loudddddddd !! Stone will be criticized for decades.
His trade value will continue to plummet since his contract gets shorter as time goes and he gets older too. And don't forget he can talk to the media constantly during all this, creating a toxic locker-room for our young guilds (who will be here for a new rebuild), you prob don't want a toxic culture in a rebuild. If Harden was 28yo, I wouldn't mind trading him in the off-season but he's not that young so the earlier we trade him the better not only for us, but for the team that wants him (since they can use him for the playoffs). It's a win-win if the trade happens now.
If philly was smart they would trade been right now. His stats are pathetic for a "star" right now. If you can get james harden for him....man thats a fukkin no brainer. Morey is an idiot if he is willing to let james go to a rival just to keep ben.
I told yall when this started we should take the philly or heat deal simply because the offers are NOT going to get any better.....now we might not even be able to get those.
No. Rockets would be lucky to get Simmons. He is absolutely a foundational piece. Sixers were awful (with Embiid) before Simmons started playing. Remember the end of that season, Embiid was hurt and the Sixers won 16 games in a row. Simmons is not Harden but overall, both sides of the floor, he may translate to more wins.
LOL you think waiting for him to get a year older will net a better deal? Lol yall still dont get it.
I guarantee I’m more correct than you. t’s about him being able to lose 30 pounds when he wants, expiring contract (player option on his last season 22/23), and still be a top 5 scorer in the NBA......even at the age of 32. You are the one that doesn’t get it.
