The Clippers are now 4-7 since trading for Harden, or 0-1 in his “ready” state.
Memes aside, he was okay this game, but okay isn’t good enough when you’re with a fully healthy Clippers vs a Reggie Jackson-led Nuggets.
Harden isn’t exactly playing terribly as a Clippers, but at this point in his career, it’s hard to justify an offence-first player on a team as offensively stacked as the Clippers when they’re in desperate need of some more off-ball movement.
Harden is looking to secure a max extension, we’ll have to see what kind of contract he can muster as he gets more into game shape as the season progresses.
It’s wild that saying a 25 year old will be better than an injury prone 35 year old is controversial lol
he’s 34 and he was an ironman for the Rockets. this was 2 years ago, it was that season and after where he started getting a bit more injury prone. dude’s easy enough to criticize without exaggerating lol
edit: also wait maxey is 23. are you from the future?
