I do not like James Harden, I don’t like watching him, but the nuggets should trade for him. It makes sense.
― Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 8 December 2020 23:34 (three years ago) link
Why would you want harden and Jokic on the same team?
― Spottie, Tuesday, 8 December 2020 23:47 (three years ago) link
i feel like the big questions re trading for harden are
1. will he play off the ball some2. will he dial back the weird dickishness a bit
if both are yes then it makes sense for many teams to put together big offers for him, if both are no then its big problem
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 9 December 2020 00:00 (three years ago) link
also worth considering that he will be making ~1/3 the tax line in a couple years, according to someone on twitter

i think harden and jokic could absolutely play on the same team. jokic is a great fit for harden since he doesn't need or want the ball.
the real question is why you would want james harden and jamal murray on the same team
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 9 December 2020 00:28 (three years ago) link
jokic touches the ball like three different times every possession
― k3vin k., Wednesday, 9 December 2020 00:36 (three years ago) link
youd proles have to trade jamal anyway
― micah, Wednesday, 9 December 2020 00:36 (three years ago) link
regardless of where harden goes he's going to have to alter his playing style of dribbling for 20 seconds every possession... if you were trying to find a second star to fit w/ him a player who derives a lot of his offensive value from a skill other than scoring would be a good place to start
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 9 December 2020 00:41 (three years ago) link
the nuggets would never do it but selling high on jamal murray for james harden would be an interesting idea
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 9 December 2020 00:42 (three years ago) link
it's just incredibly hard for me to picture harden on a team that isn't set up to cater to his every whim. like why would any team with decent chemistry take the risk?
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 9 December 2020 00:47 (three years ago) link
cause he puts the ball in the ring
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 9 December 2020 00:58 (three years ago) link
unless he doesn't feel like it
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 9 December 2020 01:08 (three years ago) link
look I happen to love harden as a player but in no way do I want him on the nuggets. I guess I’m the opposite of matt
― k3vin k., Wednesday, 9 December 2020 02:42 (three years ago) link
also he’s an asshole, this going out to clubs during a pandemic shit has really pissed me off

If you have Harden and Jokic on the same team can you ever really trap Harden? You get Jokic going 4 on 3 at the free throw line a ton.
― Matt Armstrong, Wednesday, 9 December 2020 15:16 (three years ago) link
harden is one of the greatest scorers in the history of the game teams gotta at least consider this, i mean if he wasnt weird and bad in ways it would be a no brainer

itd be hilarious if he got traded to utah

Giannis Antetokounmpo, when asked about his contract, says: "Right now, I am not focused on that. I am just trying to focus on myself." He adds that he is leaving those discussions to his agent, Alex Saratsis, and the front office.— Malika Andrews (@malika_andrews) December 9, 2020
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 9 December 2020 20:51 (three years ago) link
is his agent going to forge his signature or....?
It would be cool if Giannis just dedicated himself to having the bucks pay him a billion dollars in salary

we're finding out how teams view harden

i for one do not believe the heat will not really put herro in

does jimmy want to play with harden? does harden fit the 'pat riley heat culture'
― Spottie, Thursday, 10 December 2020 16:35 (three years ago) link
i mean prob no to both but hes good at basketball the heat who made the nba finals btw would prob be better than they were before

i wonder if riley wouldnt like a chance to try to big dog harden tho lol

looking at him like if that guy just ran some wind sprints
jimmy & harden seems like a recipe for disaster

mb they shd trade jimmy for harden
― lag∞n, Thursday, 10 December 2020 17:06 (three years ago) link
last time he was on zach lowe’s podcast le batard said the heat think herro can be better than devin booker. if they’re right there’s an argument to be made that the rest of harden’s career isn’t worth that — esp since herro has several cheap years left — but if they want harden (or beal) it’s hard to imagine that happening without herro being in the deal. they just don’t have another asset of real significance. but i think pretty much every team will be refusing to trade their best asset for harden right now, i doubt anyone is in a huge rush to get him. for the buyers it makes sense to wait it out and see if the price lowers as the situation gets more untenable, it’s not like the season pre-deadline matters all that much to good teams anyway
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 10 December 2020 17:15 (three years ago) link
yeah theyre clearly feeling out the market i mean who wouldnt want a great deal on 1 james harden
