re: James Harden showing why the NBA is a complete farce of an organization....

The NBA died as a team sport years ago. The teams no longer matter at all. Most of the fans don't even care about the teams anymore. People are fans of individual players and their loyalty and attention follows the player around.

The NBA has brought this upon themselves as well.

Regardless, that's the situation. The big name players hold all the power and they are the league. They decide what teams they want, they decide who the coaches are going to be. It's all kinda theater.
