Don't get me wrong, solid player, but somebody is gonna give him a superstar contract and I don't see him capable of being THE guy.

Well Harden > Joe Johnson, and he got a max deal. 10 mil per for Harden sounds about right, and he will be worth every penny. Dude is a stud.

I don't think he can make that much with this contract, no?

He's fairly young and nearly a complete player. He'll get his money.

Nets? Maybe in an attempt to keep DWill around and attract Howard.

Philly? Trying to add another piece to make a run after an over achieving season.

Boston? Trade in Ray Allen and his contract for a younger guy.

Bulls? Not sure if they have the money, but they could use him to play of Rose.

I think he deserves this first Max deal. It's not a really huge contract.

It's the second one that's the biggie.

I think he's a little better than a solid player.

22.

Westbrook and Durant are only 23.

Harden is a beast but he's best served in the role he's playing now. And he will still get paid too.

You know a lot more about basketball than I do, so how do you think Boston is going to rebuild?

I know its a thread hijack, but its interesting as hell, it reminds me a ton of the Raiders early 00s, a ton of old talent and what looks to be a period of rebuilding.

slowly lol.

It will be tough. I think they trade Rondo. Horrible timing for me to say this after last night lol, but I agree on moving him. I don't think he's the elite franchise Guy u build around, unless u have 3 HOFers to bring in.

He'll look a lot more human when the big 3 head to shady pines.

Rockets will probably end up overpaying for someone like Harden, unfortunately.
