Then you should pay more attention.  Yes.  A terrible fit.  A selfish ball hog guard playing with Embiid?   Not a good fit at all.  Not to mention the personalities.  
 

Last year when it was all discussed before he was traded to Brooklyn, I argued the same thing.  
 

Everyone said Harden and Durant were a great fit.  Now here we are.  

He did change the way he played when he went to the Nets and became a facilitator.

Just thinking about McCollum for Josh Hart and a pick.

I wonder if we couldn't have done that for Korkmaz, or Joe, or even Thybulle if we had to.

Then you still have Simmons and Harris to deal with McCollum already added. 

 

Instead,  watch us get Schroder. Which will be a worse trade than McCollum, by far.

CJ is a 30 million dollar cap hit

If the Harden trade does not happen by the deadline, I agree with you.

I just don't see how they sell Durant on trading his only legit help for a championship for a useless playoff player and some more bench players. 

People need to stop saying he has Irving. What good is he if he only plays away games? He's the exact reason why Harden is pissed at being there in the first place. So they are gonna trade Harden and leave Durant stuck with that numb nuts? Not happening. 

The most Philly thing to.happen is Irving gets vaccinated and then Ben plays lights out and stick him on Harden in the playoffs and gets shut down lol.

KD loves to ball and don't think he cares as much as you think. 

Simmons going to the Nets is the best case scenario for Ben and his camp. A small ball five with KD and Irving is going to be tough to beat. 

We are already states and cities changing vaccination mandates and bet Kyrie will end up being clear to play in home games soon. 

Harden definitely seems to have lost a step but people are forgetting how good he is.  He also started off the year coming back from surgery, had to re-adjust to the rule changes (that he use to take advantage of), and is dealing with spacing issues.  He would look a lot better on our team.

Based on every podcast ive listened to form national reporters they are saying that mandate is going to be lifted at some point or the nets owners in the playoffs would pay the fine. Additionally i think the nets are going to play it out this season cause i think they expect the sixers to do a sign and trade for harden this offseason and that’s still in their back pocket if they don’t win and harden wants out.

I believe he will help take pressure off embiid. 

But I don't believe Morey should have become obsessed with this as the only plan he wanted to carry out.

Exactly and if Irving is able to come back full.time that is all the more reason they need to run it back. Why eff it all up now? As some of you like to say Durant was a few inches from going to the finals last year with the guys they have now. Why blow it up for jack ass Simmons.... Nets would have to be the dumbest team ever to do that. 

 

James Harden has averaged 25.9 points, 10.5 assists and 8.3 rebounds in 12 games for the Nets without Kevin Durant this season.

 

Looks like he can still score when he is asked to.

I have always thought this was an offseason trade not a midseason trade.

It just doesn't make sense for the Nets to do it now. 

Not sure how true this is but the Nets have no leverage if true...

 

The Philadelphia 76ers "strongly believe" James Harden will not re-sign with the Brooklyn Nets in the offseason, sources tell Sam Amick of The Athletic.

The 76ers remain hopeful that the Nets will make Harden available in a trade.

If the 76ers are unable to trade for Harden at the deadline, sources say they have a realistic path to acquiring him in the offseason.

The 76ers would trade Simmons to a team with cap room in exchange for assets in return. The Detroit Pistons, Orlando Magic and San Antonio Spurs have cap space, while the Memphis Grizzlies or Houston Rockets could get there with minimal effort. The Portland Trail Blazers could also create enough room for Simmons.

The 76ers would also trade the contract of Tobias Harris, or they could also waive and stretch him.

Philadelphia would then sign Harden for either the max of $42 million or something close to it. The 76ers don't believe Harden would object to giving up a portion of his guaranteed earnings to sign with them

Yeah.  Let’s get that guy.  Bished and cried and ate his way out of Houston.  Now he’s not happy in Brooklyn.  Fantastic fit in Philly, a team trying to rid itself of a malcontent head case.

You take the headache for a legit chance at the title. 

What other options do the Sixers have? Beal is now out

He left Houston because they had no chance to win a Championship.  He went to the Nets to try to win one.  Then he found out Kyrie is a nuts as Ben and before any given game, he can decide to visit lions in Africa rather than play. Then he was told to change his role and he has to defer to Durant. In addition to all that, his coach stinks.  He wants to win a ring, you cannot argue that.

That’s the whole point.  The dipish shouldn’t have waited this long.   I’d rather wait and trade the asset in the offseason then go with Harden.

His best chance to win, if that is all he wants, is in Brooklyn.  

And you can’t just gloss over his behavior and how he left Houston.  It wasn’t just because he wanted to win.  
 

He’s a malcontent.   
 

It’s not happening anyway.

We'll see.  It's pretty clear, you would rather not win a Championship with Harden and prefer to not be good enough without him.

I just want him to trim just a little off the beard.  It looks hideous.
