The piece no one is paying attention to is Tucker. He’s quietly a good supporting piece. He’s just solid everywhere he goes.

They’re all gonna need stats



No they need wins. Ballmer can sign all 3 moving into a new ridiculous Stadium with his pocket change

They arent playing for stats to go to another team

Good grief

Best part of the trade. We need a bulldog since Marcus Morris was a waste

I don't understand this take. Besides when he gave up and got fat his last year in Houston, when did Harden ever make a team worse?

The Nets were really freaking good when he was healthy along with Durant.

The 76ers played their best ball when Embiid and Harden were on the court together.

Dude is a grinder. Also, Harden is more of a facilitator right now. If he sticks with that, and gets his open looks, he’s going to be fine feeding PG and Kawhi.

My guess is they play RW from the bench when starters rest. Will overlap so a few starters play with bench. RW did that with LA if not mistaken.

Here is the deal with Harden:
He will play well during the regular season. He is basically a better shooting Steve Nash. The problem with him and Nash is that come playoff time, teams can actually gameplan and he doesn't have the ability to pivot from what he does during the regular season. He has shown year-after-year that come playoff time, he disappears when you need him the most. He will have a game or 2 that he plays great, but then have 3-4 games where you don't even notice him on the floor. He doesn't play defense well enough and has no clue how to incorporate himself into a game if he isn't "feeling it". Add into this the fact that he is playing with Westbrook (a ball dominate aweful shooting guard), Paul George (probably the most consistent out of these 4) and Leonard (the strangest good player I can remember) and I just don't think this is a good fit at all. They now have 4 guys who all basically play guard as the best 4 options on their team. He may make them a little better but overall, doesn't do enough to push them to even one of the top 3 teams in the West. I would still take Denver, Phoenix, Golden State and Dallas over them, which I would have done before this trade.

I just consider the fact that Leonard and George WILL miss at least 20 games a piece. They always do. So having another scorer I guess make sense.

Those 2028/29 picks could be gold unless Balmer keeps writing big checks.

A better shooting Nash… what an incredibly odd comparison. It’s so strange I’m hoping you can go into detail about this.

Nash was a true-unselfish floor general who was also a better shooter than Harden. We’re talking about apples and oranges here.

Clippers are currently leading the league in shooting efficiency and they make a move for a guy that will give them 2/13 every night
