I don’t think it’s right to lump Russ and Harden into the same category. Russ has done basically everything right in the past year or so. Got bought out, signed with a team, came in and played his ass off in the playoffs, and accepted a modest contract. Accepted the third fiddle role to PG and Kawhi, accepted the 4th fiddle role with Harden, and accepted a bench role.

On the flip side, I could genuinely see Harden just retiring or going overseas or something if he doesn’t get his way. I really can’t see him taking a contract close to what Russ accepted this offseason.

It’s wild that saying a 25 year old will be better than an injury prone 35 year old is controversial lol

Sixers also have continuity on their side while the other top teams have made major retools. They look great on paper and early on but it’s hard to say what’ll happen in the playoffs.

As a casual fan at the time, the Heatles got me way more interested in the league than anything else

Shooting and free throw shooting is subject to fatigue and getting banged up as well. I don’t want to pull the “he’s skinny” card, but he very well might struggle to hold up over 80 games.

Probably because the refs aren’t penalized at all. The league is making all these initiatives to make sure stars play and fans get a good product, but all that goes out the window if your dumbass refs toss someone for no reason

Hell you can make it 55/55/90 and he still clears lol. I’m very curious to see where his efficiency ends up.

How can he suck when his all time battle record is 7 billion to 0?
