It appears his plan is to leverage his own effort on the court by paying a team of strippers to give an additional 110%.

He's definitely on the underrated side these days, no question. He's one of the best offensive players of all time. 

But, it's also true that he's the type of dude who chose to be represented professionally by a family member who doesn't appear to have much of a handle over the English language, and the type to get filmed in a strip club two nights in a row instead of reporting to the training camp he has contractually agreed to attend. 

We talk a lot about Mavs culture, and at times we kind of poke fun at it. But man, either they're better than most teams at avoiding dudes like this, or they're WAY better than most teams at covering up these types of personalities. Either way, it's something I appreciate about our local team. I honestly don't know if I could convince myself to root for him is I was a Houston fan.

I love this statistic joke.

Hardin has always been a tough offensive player. I'm not a fan of his style of driving for the foul call, but you have to respect his long range game.

What he lacks is leadership to match his team status. Some leaders, like CP3, do it vocally. Some, like Dirk, do it by example. Hardin seems more like, "let me get my stats to get MVP votes, then we'll worry about winning".

I'm personally OK if they implode. But I hope they ship him east, if/when they start a rebuild.

If Philly doesn´t put Simmons on the table, I´m not sure what the Rockets can get for Harden. We are quickly into 20c on the dollar territory. We are trying to get Lavine to be our 3rd piece, they might have to talk themselves into Lavine as a #1 option.

I hope we slow down our roll on this James Harden hate
A lot of people have been known to say that Harden is a very upright, hardworking and generous man
All of them being in the stripping profession is just a mere coincidence

Or is GSW about to pull the wool over everyone in the NBA for a certain disgruntled 2 guard.

I think he pretty much nails it.   Atlanta Luka trade dig along the way Smile

RE: AROUND the NBA: Dec 22 Tip-Off, 72 gms | Harden no-showed HOU practice - StepBackJay - 12-07-2020

I agree with Simmons that the most likely landing spot is Philly unless the Nets find a way to get a better package. I am not a huge Ben Simmons guy but if I am Houston he is my best shot at a star. The other thing with B Simmons is that he's been part of a franchise that has no idea how to use him. Houston would use him as a point-forward type with a traditional point guard in Wall. I would definitely want to see what that team could do before just saying they're going to suck.

I know Wall has been out for 2 years. He might be done. Maybe the smart money is that he will be. I will say his workout videos look pretty good and I just want to see what he looks like in a real basketball game before I make up my mind. If he isn't good then Rockets are sort of stuck but I think he will be good for them. Maybe not 40 mil good but good enough to help them.

I absolutely disagree with him on the "You can't trade him for pieces," or "You can't trade him one for one for a guy who isn't as good." They have to get something back, and the market determines what they can do. I also disagree that Curry-Harden-Green isn't a contender without Klay. GSW thought they were contenders with Curry-Thompson-Green, and Harden is arguably a better player.
