It's a crazy position, because Harden's expects everyone to forget his play at the end of the season?
He would look like a moron after Harden's play
You're right.
Harden has never in his career accepted responsibility for choking in the playoffs.
It was always someone else's fault.
Dwight Howard's fault
Chris Paul's fault
Kyrie's fault
Doc River's fault.
He thinks he plays great in the playoffs.
Because it’s a black issue, nothing will be done about it.
But that’s our fault as black people. We as group should be coming for these people anytime something disrespectful is done to us or about us. This issue should be as big the Montgomery brawl on social media. There shouldn’t be no black people at Magic game next year. But we will let them off the hook like we always do…..
We know what the WNBA would do
Ummmm Cuzzo?
Philly...We have a problem.
You ain't say THIS was gonna happen.
(BTW ain't this exactly what I told you Harden was thinking?)
But you Mr. Philly so as always I defer.
Wtf Morey gon do now?
Cause it's all f*cked up now.
I came over to see the responses. And I was correct, BGOL is full of white people and people who wish to be white passing so of course they are siding with the lying white executive over the player that led the league in assists last year and held up his end of the bargain.
Big Tex who used to project Harden over LeBron James when he was a Rocket , now says he isn't worth a max deal. That's why players don't get caught up in fan opinions. Most fans are only loyal to corporate and Air Jordans.

How did Philly end up in another Ben Simmons situation
I know Joel Embiid is getting tired of this shit.

Shouldn't make promises you don't intend to or can't keep.
If this is what happened, I'm on Harden's side here.
Should have made that a conditional promise.
I do wonder what Harden expected if, say, he got injured. I'm making assumptions about no strings attached. But the liar is the person in the wrong here if it is as folks have said it is.

IMO, It has now been confirmed, the deal for Harden and Simmons Was a wash on both ends. Philly may have finished better than the Nets but both teams didn't achieve nothing but problems In the long run. 
Would you give up your career to honor a handshake promise?

I think the question should be "would you make a promise that could require giving up your career?"
I would not. I never have.
If Morey did, that was foolish and he has proven himself an untrustworthy and dishonorable man.
Or maybe you had intentions of honoring it but your boss said “absolutely not”.
It’s very likely ownership stepped before being in the hook for 200 million to a declining choker. I’m not spending 200 million of my money for “Morey’s honor” fuck what anyone thinks.
Morey's biggest fault was still believing in Harden when he made the promise. Harden is about to find out that Morey was going to give him better deals than any other GM in the league lol.
Any GM could have signed Harden before he opted in. All he heard was crickets.

He can't choke in the playoffs again....he just can't.....
James is a "lifestyle" player. Hes more concerned with cash, fashion and party scene than so-called "legacy". Philly is a good sports town, but mediocre at best when it comes to nightlife and social scene. James wants LA. He wanted to go back to Houston but Ime said "fuck no".
Dude had the choice of staying with Embiid or going to babysit Jalen Green and Jabari Smith and he wanted to be daddy daycare
That says everything about him
Thank God for Ime.

Jalen Brunson perfect from field as U.S. tops Spain in WCup warmup
- Associated Press
MALAGA, Spain -- The U.S. World Cup basketball team got its first big test of the summer Sunday, and a perfect shooting night from Jalen Brunson helped ensure the Americans passed.
Brunson was 9-for-9 from the field on the way to a team-best 21 points, Jaren Jackson Jr. added 14 and the U.S. pulled away in the fourth quarter to beat Spain 98-88 in a pre-World Cup exhibition between tournament favorites. Spain is the No. 1-ranked team in the world according to FIBA; the U.S. is No. 2
The Americans shot 67% -- 71% on 2-pointers, 56% on 3-pointers, while holding Spain to 42% shooting.
The U.S. improved to 3-0 in its pre-World Cup tour with two games left before arriving in Manila for the tournament. The Americans have averaged 101.3 points in those three games against Puerto Rico (117-74), Slovenia (92-62) and Spain, with an average winning margin of 27.7 points.The U.S. led just 73-72 going into the final 10-minute quarter, before seven straight points down the stretch pushed the lead out to 97-84.
Tyrese Haliburton had 12 assists in just under 22 minutes off the bench for the U.S., his second double-figure assist game so far this summer. Mikal Bridges scored 12 points and three players -- Brandon Ingram, Austin Reaves and Anthony Edwards -- each added 11.
Santi Aldama topped Spain with 14 points. Willy Hernangomez scored 13 points, Alex Abrines had 12 and Juancho Hernangomez 11.
The U.S. departs Monday for Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, for its final two pre-World Cup games this coming weekend against Greece and Germany. The World Cup starts in the Philippines, Indonesia and Japan on Aug. 25; the Americans start their World Cup slate Aug. 26.
Mock Trade Sends Joel Embiid to Knicks
Bleacher Report’s Zach Buckley proposed a mock trade that would land the Knicks their coveted star in reigning MVP Joel Embiid.The proposed trade:
New York Knicks receive: Joel Embiid
Philadelphia 76ers receive: RJ Barrett, Mitchell Robinson, Immanuel Quickley, Quentin Grimes, 2024 first-round pick, 2024 first-round pick (top-12 protected, via WAS), 2025 first-round pick (top-four protected, via MIL), 2026 first-round pick
The mock trade would leave the Knicks with a Big 3 of Brunson, Julius Randle and Embiid surrounded by a supporting cast of Josh Hart, Donte DiVincenzo, Miles McBride and Isaiah Hartenstein.
“While the Knicks have assembled a rock-solid squad, they still seem a superstar short of championship contention. Embiid, the reigning MVP and back-to-back scoring champ, scratches that itch as well (or better) than any remotely realistically available trade target,” Buckley wrote.

In a world where Gobert was traded for 6 first round picks and some role players, why would the Knicks accept 3 first round picks and role players for the reigning MVP?Mock Trade Sends Joel Embiid to Knicks
