Just one of these guys alone makes your team dangerous. All of these other guys are not putting you on their backs. They need help.

Once again, it's how guys dropped. I'm not blowing my cash on a star that still needs another star to make noise. Each will cost you at least $100+ anyway.


Ahem, dunt forget George. Unlike harden, he makes a perennial playoff team, while also being the go to scorer and defender. Plus, he was on 2k17 cover

You know you the homie...
But nah


Ah, you won't win this one.

br7knicks wrote:I know it's because I hate him, but there's no way in **** hell I put more on harden than George. Harden gets some more points because of his flopping to the free throw line. George isn't a puss like that. And George will actually play defense. Let alone the lockdown, top tier that very few are at.

There's a reason harden had a better statistical year than the previous, yet didn't make an all NBA team last year. His defense is that ****. You spend more on harden, good for you. One less team I have to worry about :D


i hear you on the defensive side of the ball. But he took a pretty mediocre who's second best player probably was Trevor Ariza? To a dominant record. Again I can't stand the way he plays with the flopping but for the most part unless he clanking outside shots he completely unarguable. Now personally I like all-around players so PG13 has his pros over Harden and probably would be cheaper.

But its easier to build around Harden. You just can get shooters and defenders. PG13 I really don't trust as a #1 option because of his lack of effeciency but his 2-way ability is only behind a few like LeBron, Kawhi, and AD...


Yeah, he is elite on both sides. Top tier for defense and offense. Very few players offer that. That's why I wouldn't trade George for anyone not named kawhi

Harden is the true MVP of this league for me, I am happy Russ won cuz of the historic accomplishment but considering the game of basketball purely, why would 2 more rebounds per game make such difference just cuz it exceeds a psychological barrier of 10? Harden contributed more to winning in the end was more efficient and was 2nd top scorer while being top assister in league with less usage than Russ

And this is controversial since I have been seeing loads of people crapping on Harden in that regard but I think his D is fine enough for such an offensive juggernaut, for me its really overblown because of the meme and internet age we live in, once you get that reputation RIP like how some dudes like Kobe kept making All NBA Defensive teams, its all about that reputation nowadays

i have to assume u ran Harden's price at least over $150..then you could clean up like you suggested above. If he goes for low $100 islanders still is in play to steal other guys you want...

Nah I maxed out harden. I was playing around with betting on derozan and Simmons and Bledsoe but my head started to hurt doing the math and I just did what was easy lol

If Melo was still a dynamic dominant offensive player no one would care him not locking up some dudes up on D

i would cheer for melo WAY before i'd cheer for harden. that's how **** his defense is. don't even have to watch highlights. watch 2 minutes of gameplay, of ANY game on league pass. i'll give you my information if you buy the VPN!

dude is a joke to basketball. but i was also raised by a coach who preached defense first. not everyone likes winning though. there's a reason defense wins, and harden never will.

offensively amazing. but a joke as an overall basketball player. enjoy the statistics. he'll never win a championship (until he turns 36+ and chases a ring as the 6, 7, or 8th man on a team), and that's ok in my book :D

i can dig it. You needed Harden he is one of the top players in the game that automatically puts you a playoff team IMO.

You have some floor spacers and a couple nice defenders. It would have been nice to get him for a bit cheaper to help in other areas but gotta lock him up at that point.
