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 is kinda the classic homer “our kids gonna be a superstar” take but hey, let him celebrate it coming true
because yeah, that was the constant Maxey/Herro/Ant/someone I’m forgetting comparison era, the consensus wasn’t that he was head and shoulders above his peers
u/_juntao isn’t a sixers fan so it wasn’t a homer take
Also, it’s quite common in the Heat sub to lament over Maxey, especially after he said his favorite player is Dwyane Wade. As much as I wanted him in Miami, I wish him well in Philly.
