  • he didn’t “fumble” it, he just didn’t want it. same way he didn’t want the one Houston offered him to try and get him to stay, and same way he didn’t force Philly to pay up right away and instead gave them a discount. harden has a lot of income from other sources; the difference between the max possible he could get from an nba team and what he’d be happy giving them for a good fit isn’t something he’s that concerned about. if anything, it’s about the years so he can end his career somewhere (probably why that was a talking point for him about philly). he’s from LA, he can move his mom (who is sick) out here, etc.

    he’s trying to find the right basketball situation. it was reported he was willing to give morey a deal if he actually negotiated with him instead of ghosting him.


















  • It’s of course only been 3 games and 2 were against the Blazers and Raptors, but all the cutting and shit their guys have been doing are things Harden is also great at finding.

    The Embiid Maxey 2 man game is better now because the ball actually goes back to Maxey, whereas Doc would only use it to set Embiid up.

    Harden can fit into all this especially by unlocking more guys from the bench, who all seem to collectively be struggling other than Oubre who is like the anti-Harris when it comes to letting it fly & is such a good deal with his contract. Harden has worked well in more free flowing offenses and his lack of “impact” when he doesn’t have the ball is so overstated (thanks, Ringer) it’s kinda crazy.

    Would also be great for Harden to continue mentoring Maxey as a lead ballhandler

    It still pisses me off the Sixers F.O risked the chemistry messing with Harden’s contract esp. when it was reported he was willing to compromise on the deal if Daryl actually played it normally instead of ghosting him.

    They coulda spent more of their early free agency actually acquiring more talent instead of being held up by the trade shit
