Has he gotten along with anyone he’s played with? He seems like a perpetual malcontent.

*I'm trying to figure out whether you're talking about Kyrie or Harden* :lol:


Those two in the same superteam was an epic flop. Their partnership was as glued as spaghetti sauce.

Hey sunshine. In case you missed it, Ben Simmons and Rich Paul got exactly what they wanted. They played the team, the league and the game itself in a way so ridiculous that the next CBA is going to lockout the league.

You made the Nets the favourite tonight.
They lacked defense? You gave them Simmons. They lacked boards? You gave them Drummond.
And one more shooter to add to the mills/kyrie/Harris/KD shooting core. And two picks in case they need extra reinforcements.

But yet you want flowers. For paying Harden 50mil next year at the age of 34.
You have two years to contend. After that, bye Felicia.
But hey, congrats to Morey. Congrats to you.


Two years to contend is better than the 0 years they were contending prior to this. I'd say that deserves some flowers . Especially for a player teams like Boston were offering smart and fillers for.



Boston isn't going to contend for a long time. I never had any delusions about it seeing how strong the east has become and how stagnant we've been in retooling.
But at least i am not delusional about ainge and his last years of leading the franchise.

So oddly enough they were super chummy after the trade and played some of their best basketball together.

It must be the part-time-player / vax issues that caused the alleged split...

They're both also just kinda moody. James has basically been happy with every superstar teammate he got paired with... and then suddenly he wasn't.

Kyrie is just all over the place.

I actually wasnt taking a shot at boston or ainge. I was just stating that Ben Simmons value has gotten so low around here that people actually thought smart & fillers was a fair deal that Philly should accept. They instead paired arguably the best player in the NBA in embiid with an admittedly aging, but still elite and top 10-15 talent. That should be seen as a win.

Not Hardens fault that he didn't want to play with someone that selfish

KD should have never left OKC.

2 of the most meaningless rings in NBA history and now forever chasing another that he will never get. This trio belongs with each other.

Kyrie needs to burn some sage in Harden's favorite stip club when they play in Philly.

Man, I don't care how good Irving is though, I wouldn't want that anywhere near my team.

You could literally tell me any time and it wouldn't shock me. You could say tomorrow, you could say when he's 43 going the Udonis Hasslem route and I'd be like "yeah, that tracks".
