It’s no problem bringing Ben back. Just blame everything on Glenn Rivers and it’s a clean slate.

Ben is not playable until he can shoot FTs at atleast 70% and be a threat when he’s in the paint at HALFCOURT. When he’s able to do that, he just needs the right structure and opportunity and he’d be an allstar.

Rachel Nichols says James Harden wants to be the No. 1 option on a team again

“He thinks he should be leading the show. The reason why he wanted out of Philadelphia in the first place is that it's the Joel Embiid show right now.”

In a related story, I think I could be a helicopter.

And I've always planned to be the leader of a Wolfpack when I tire of working

What if Harden is saying all these so he can be excused for mental illness?

His contract makes him negative value. We don't need a 6'10" stiff on offense who dribbles up the court to hand the ball off so we can play 4 on 5. And he can't play defense against 5s or strong 4s. He chose not to become a good player. He's a $10-$15 million role player. He's not worth $38 mil. Harden probably is for one season until we clear our books.

Ok, I need Joel to come out scortched earth now. He’s been nice to Harden saying he’s a dear friend that he hopes returns. Meanwhile, Harden is leaking that he thinks he should be the #1 guy & doesn’t want to play 2nd fiddle to Joel.

Wasn't Harden glad to come here because BKN expected him to carry too much of the load by himself? :crazy:

I suppose that’s possible but Harden hasn’t exactly been playing 4D chess lately.

I can't believe what I'm reading re: Simmons here. Ya'll need to go back and read some of those threads of misery and remind yourselves that things will not change with him.

Does Harden think he’ll be the #1 guy on a team with Kawhi Leonard and Paul George?

Just saw the Hangover 1, 2 and 3 last week. It could happen for you.

I'd take Fultz before Ben.

Should have told us here that you’re planning to watch the trilogy, so i could stop you at part 2 and save your time in watching part 3
