Harden looks great with Philly right now, just like I thought he would. Embid and Maxey are like the perfect running mates for him.

But I'm not a Harden fan for several reasons.

Philly could go all the way, but if I had to bet money, I'd bet on Harden choking in the playoffs. It's what he does and there is always some excuse.

As opposed to what?

We can't possibly we worse than we are right now.

Harden would have gotten it together for a playoff run with KD.


You keep saying this but you don't know that.

James was faking an injury dude. That's beyond the pale. There was no way you can keep him after that.

Being a Harden & Nets fan(it's awkward I know), It's hard.

News about Harden going to strip club has always been media hit pieces. And Harden ain't fake no injuries. He was legit hurt. He looks much better now because he got a ton of rest last month and Philly hired a hammy specialist just for him. Meanwhile, our medical team here has been a complete joke.

Harden just checked out. I believe spacing/non shooters, Nash, KD injury and Kyrie vaccine status are all contributing factors to him wanting out. Had KD not gone down or Kyrie played full time, he would still be on this team.

Honestly, I am glad Harden left or he will be run into the ground by Nash. There is 0 doubt about it. It's refreshing to see Doc can actually manage minutes. My only concern now is KD will be run into the ground.


I 100% believe that Harden faked that injury and was purposely out of shape. There's little evidence that says otherwise.

I still don't blame him for wanting out though. Maxey and Embiid are way better options than an often injured KD and a part time Kyrie. Doc Rivers is a way better coach than Nash. It's a no brainer. This Nets team is a disaster

Harden wanted a full 5 year Max, and he wanted influence over the front office. He wasn't going to get those here.

I also have mixed feelings about how he handled. I think the Kyrie stance and the fact he was not locked in on a contract made him very hesitant to push himself. I always said he is holding back and he wasn’t going to risk another injury when the team wasn’t all bought in and on board. The mandate didn’t lift, Durant went down again, and Kyrie was still not getting vaccinated. I don’t agree with how he gives up but I don’t think he purposely would tank the team like someone else said. This was a painful year to say the least I know we would have had a chip if they just played together. I’ll be rooting for KD if Harden doesn’t make it. It will be really weird seeing them play against each other if that happens. KD has 2 chips though and Kyrie got his. Harden just wants one more than anything.

KD choose Kyrie over Harden. The look on his face after we lost the Heat game was one of exasperation. Maybe he needs to pick better friends who won't leave him hanging out to dry.

Meanwhile, Harden is hooping and winning games with guys that want to win.

Seems like Harden is the smart one here. KD not so much

Kobe and Shaq hated each other.

I don't buy that Harden would openly quit on a playoff run witH KD.

Things were fine when we were winning.

Simmons won't even play this year probably!

With KD and Harden we were still going to win the East.

Marks should have held out for Maxey in the deal. What a colossal mistake.

I disagree here. Maxey is pretty much what Cam is just inch shorter. Might agreed on Thybulle but than again we just drafted Kess.

Neither Cam or Maxey PO ready imo and it'll be interesting thing to watch and compare how they develop.

I like Cam more simply because he actually can pass in limited role for now. He took exception to it during interview which obviously speak for itself.

If they going to get Dame next year ( which is most likeliest outcome ) for scraps, this league going to be in trouble. We'd be only team that might stand on their way.

Than again, Kyrie being Kyrie... dude might just go mia or get hurt at any minute.

Maxey is way more efficient than Cam is and a better three point shooter.

Will that change? I hope so. But no one is taking Cam over Maxey right now. Maxey will probably be an all star next year.

Maxey, as much as we needed a PG in return, wasn't happening. Marks probably should have gotten more picks or swaps though.

Did you see Maxey play? I watched many 76er games lately.

Maxey & Harden backcourt is a poor man's Kyrie & Harden backcourt but Maxey is only 21 and growing every game. I have not talked about his defense...Cam can not do **** if you pair him with Harden.

The truth is Maxey will get paid super star money at this rate while Cam will just be Cam.
