Nah he’s a Clippers guy so he’s doing his duty by pretending Harden won’t sabotage the team.

Wish I could fast forward and see what the starting lineup looks like in March

Harden is about to be traded to his FIFTH team in 13 years for a reason.

Again, IF the clippers can get Harden to adapt his game to play more off ball, they’ll be better.

But 4 other teams couldn’t do it so it doesn’t look good.

Embiid isn’t going anywhere. Only a few games in, but the Sixers are playing a better brand of basketball under Nurse, and Maxey is improving even more. His ball handling is ahead of what they were expecting.

Morey has also positioned the Sixers to have more cap space than any playoff team heading into next season, with plenty of draft capital to use as well.

Looks like a trio of mostly washed up players who will not sniff a championship.

Why do teams keep wanting this bum? Seriously

The Clips just took themselves out of contention

backcourt plays no defense, forwards are always hurt.

Dysfunctional AF.

It might it might not. Trading 3 players that dont play a rookie and 2 1sts for an All Star doesnt make the team significantly worse

Thats just a tard take

You’re TWO games into the season. How much has anyone played?

“Oh…here’s an idea: Let’s get an old, out of shape, ball dominant player who can’t play defense and needs rest by given up 4 young players with energy and weaken our bench.”

Result:

1. Less defense
2. Thinner bench
3. Older team
4. Dysfunctional offense

You’re right, now that I am looking at it, it makes sense because it’s the clippers

I don't think the Clippers got trade raped or anything, they didn't give up that much.

I just wouldn't have given up anything for Harden at all.

So one of the reasons I would say it might make the Clips better is because PG & Kawhi can’t stay healthy during the regular season, so there are going to be games where Harden’s ISO ball could be really useful.

This is a fair point and they might rack up some regular season wins this way. They'll be an incohesive disaster in the playoffs.

Marcus Morris is a fricking disaster and I dont ever want him to play. ROCO never played last year. Batum is an inch away from retiring

KJ Martin is better than Harden?

If the Clips are serious about a ship they had to make this move cause they were not winning one as constrcuted. It could very well backfire

But all 3 stars are on contract years which could bode well

IF PG and Kawhi can stay healthy, this is a good move. They definitely got better. But that is a HUGE if though.

76ers definitely got worse, unless they have another trade up their sleeve.
