    this dude is dumb. Who's going to sign a role player coming off that injury for that much?

    Aren't the Nets' Big Three eligible for extensions this offseason? You don't think they all jump at the opportunity to sign them? I get wanting to wait and see how things play out, but going into next season, Durant will be 33 and Harden will be 32 with a ton of mileage on those bodies. They'd be crazy to roll the dice and not take the guaranteed money right now.

    The FA class is very thin. I think he'll get that on the open market easy. Or at worst more guaranteed like 3/30 or something.

    Plus he has a ton of leverage with BKN. If he walks they don't get to use whatever cap space he requires on anything else next season. Sort of like the Tristan Thompson stand off with Cleveland.

    Plenty of teams.

    This FA class is pretty weak, with some teams having needs. An ACL tear isn't a career ender and the guy is 28 years old.

    He won't have any problem finding a long term contract this summer if he wants it.

    Nets most likely would've won in 6 if Kyrie was playing instead of Harden.

    The trade demand shenanigans came back to bite Harden.

    You should have your own NBA team... since you can predict the future. Or maybe you’re just bullish!tting.

    Well, I think I’d he sold out to some CCP folks like everyone else, he may be in better shape... I’d rather have a team pro-America than under some Communist Party members that couldn’t even beat the Giannis and PJ Tucker. I have no problems with Chinese people just CCP and their tactics.

    ACL isnt a major injury imo. Yeah its a season ending injury but people bounce back from it relatively well.

    The FA market isnt that hot as well, and Dinwiddle was once touted as a major piece in a Harden trade proposal so he def had some value.

    Yeah I dont bear ill will to Harden, but he demanded we trade Cp3 for his bff and then ditched the Rox. People just blame Fertita forgetting Harden is the one who mainly pushed for it given his friction with Cp3.

    Im just rooting for him to fail purely because the Rox own the Nets next 7 picks.
