OT: James Harden takes shots at Parsons, Lin, Asik

[SwaggyB]

Wow.. never knew Harden was such a dick

[Son Goku 25]

Losers. Harden is going to be regarded like Melo and T-Mac in a few years - tons of talent but nothing to show for it

Meh, Harden isn't even on their level and I don't think he'll ever be. For a guy who's considered a "scorer" he can get shut down pretty easily, he seems to always get away with flopping his way to the free throw line. I personally think he's a bit overrated, I'm not denying he's talented but he isn't some kind of superstar that some people make him out to be.

Tru harden is a manufactured star

He is very reliant on getting whistles call

T-Mac shouldnt be compared to Harden imo. T-Mac was on another level when healthy. Injuries derailed his career sadly. Despite T-Mac's offense being so good, it was his defense that separated him from the rest.

Agreed, all of T-Macs issues stemmed from poor health. Dude was a monster otherwise.

What exactly is wrong with what Harden said? He's stating a fact. I guess it might be a shot at Parsons but believe me when I say Parsons has been the most annoying out of Harden and Dwight. Morey gets him out of his rookie contract, which was under a MILLION!, and he gets paid 15 million this offseason just to complain about how he was treated by the Rockets? He should be thanking Morey.

Maybe he felt disrespected when Morey declined to match DAL's offer. Then he felt even more disrespected when Harden & Howard chose to verbally echo Morey's decision. Did Parson's ask to be let out of his contract? Did he pull a Boozer on HOU?

He's not a dick. He's an ick.

Why did we do a S&T to reward his lying a.ss, again?

[arbsn]

Harden is slightly overqualified for the 6th man Jamal Crawford/Jason Terry type but not good enough to be a superstar. If he took a lesser role/money and stayed with OKC like Manu did with the Spurs, he would probably become a champion.

You know who the real dick is? Parsons.

He got moved out of a rookie deal that pays under 1 million dollars. He knew his teams intention was to match. Instead of going into the open market and finding a reasonable deal that his team would match and that would compensate him fairly. This would have helped his team sign him and another star, bringing him and the Rockets 1 step closer to a title.

He goes and signs a contract to play for a complete dick in Mark Cuban. A team rivals with Houston. The most untradeable contract ever with player options and 15M for a guy thats worth 6 - 8 max.

That is a dick move. He then tries to shift the attention off of his dick move by saying he was offended by the treatment of the Rockets, thats why he signed that kind of a deal. Rockets did nothing but help him.

I lost all my respect for this muthafker. What's funny is that Dirk took a pay cut for Parson's massive contract. Next year, Parsons is going to have worse stats in a team where Dirk and Ellis score the basketball. His contract is just as bad than that of Landry Fields. Now, if he gets injured just like Landry did, that contract will hold Dallas back to the point where they'll be a lottery team for the next 3 years.

I kind of feel bad for Dirk.

[onetwothree]

But, Harden is still a dick. and Howard proved he was a dick a long time ago. At the end of the day, it seems like Houston got worse and Dallas got worse. Which is good news.

While I agree that Parsons is overpaid, and that his contract can easily be seen as a negative for Dallas, I can't find any reasoning to call Parsons a dick for that.

If Houston didn't want to pay him a lot, they should have just picked up the option. Instead they made him wait around while they struck out on every big name free agent. Dallas comes along and wants to pay him the max, why on earth wouldn't a kid his age accept that? I'm sure some part of him wanted to remain in Houston, but if he waits for them to figure out their plans, maybe he's only making 5 million per. Chandler was looking out for himself first, as he should.

It was a dangerous move on Houston's part to do what they did. They created the opportunity to lose Parsons by their own choice; they could have held on to him. I really don't see a problem with someone accepting a huge contract from another good team. Maybe he didn't really want to be in Houston. Maybe he just wanted the money. Maybe he wanted to be out of the shadow of the two stars there. It doesn't really matter - Houston had control of the situation but gave it up.

As for signing with Cuban - he is known for treating his players very well and is more passionate about his team than probably any owner. I can see why guys would want to play for him.

[UnderdogRaptors]

He needs to take notes from #10 on our team the true humble superstar who will be better than this ref baiting clown

That is ridiculous. Dallas offered him a max contract, or at least close to it. If Houston didn't want to match that, fine, but it would have been insane for Parsons not to sign that deal.

[WiggOuts]

The only reason theyre saying sht like this (and I mainly mean Harden, what Dwight said wasn't that bad) is because they know theyre gonna need him, These comments are prolly only meant to instill confidence in themselves.


Why does it seem like James Harden has been a man on a mission making himself look bad for the past couple years. Is it just me or do most NBA fans naturally hate players that bring no effort on defence. If you play basketball you all know how much you hate that kid that always wants the ball on O but does nothing to help on D...Why don't you work for it you lazy ass

you have no understanding in the ways of life

[Slim_Charles]

Dwight Howard and James Harden = Punks

I'm glad Portland took out that trashy team. Dwight and James go to the 2nd round then maybe people will start respecting you around the league.

[m83588333]

When Houston sucks next season Harden and Howard will point fingers at each other. They are the opposite of continuity and team dynamics.

[Raps in 4]

@ Parsons comparing himself to OKC Harden. What a clown.

What Harden said is 100% true. Those guys were just replaceable role players.

[Raps in 4]

Harden is slightly overqualified for the 6th man Jamal Crawford/Jason Terry type but not good enough to be a superstar.

Do you have anything to back your statement up with? He's been one of the most dominant offensive players in the NBA over the last two years.
