I’d hate to play with Harden as an NBA player. Unless he has the ball in his hands, he completely disengages from the offense.

What the heck was Harden doing even bothering to take that hard swipe? Sheesh.

Hell of a pass, that thing was probably going 60 mph

Bucks not liking that disrespect.
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

Nets need a real center and another guard who can handle.

Reason why Westbrook ultimately asked for the trade. He didn't like Harden refusing to play team ball or do anything off ball (Rockets played some off ball action for Westbrook). When Harden would receive wide open pass to 3 point line Harden instead of shooting would just dribble it 4-5 times then shoot it when it was properly contested. Harden is doing better with Nets but still not good.

I don't know if it would be tougher to throw or catch that. :lol:

The Nets still look like a small team to me. They don’t have any bangers to battle for rebounds. If you can keep them from shooting well from 3, they’re very beatable.
