3-4 team dealā¦Harden is going back to HOU for ring opportunity. We donāt want another injury prone player in Garland.
D@mn, more Clips drama. I'd be down for Garland for Harden, straight up. We need to get younger, our homegrown guys are getting good run right now, let's continue to build instead getting "stuck" with 2 more years of The-Gray-Beard Harden. Don't get me wrong, Harden was great for the Clippers, was great to have him. A good time to move on.
Harden played a huge factor in the surge, it's kind of divastating.
Rockets, Nets, 76ers, Clippers and now he's forcing to be traded to another team. We're looking at the playoffs and he wants to be traded. Clippers starts off terrible but it turns it around and could be the team that you don't want to play In the playoffs. Now the Clippers have to trade him before Harden quits on the team. Hopefully the Clippers can get a few first round picks or a haul of good young players.
Im so happy. We are finally goving the young guys a shot. Canāt wait for kawi to be gone as well. We may suck for a couple of years while we rebuild but at least we will have some young corner stones.
Kobe sanders and jordan miller is the future and present.
I know James is old but aināt no way Darius Garland is all we can get for him š
If you're trading Hardin you may as well trade Zu while he still has good value.
Some Clippers stuff
Heās a great player but so toxic
No one is bigger than the program! CLIPPERS RUN LA! Harden wants an extension, and a good chunk of money. Like bro youāre old, be happy youāre in the squad. If he wants out, get his ah OUT! Weāre not begging!
You actually believed he wanted to retire a Clipper? This is his 4th trade request.
James Harden torched his way out of 3 other teams and you actually think āhe wouldnāt do that to the Clippersā? Hilarious.
A few things are clear:
* Darian, you do a great job.
* The current Clippers team – including Harden – is super easy to root for. They are a fantastic and inspiring story.
* Harden is behaving reasonably/rationally.
* The current team WITH Harden is unlikely to win a Chip. They might win a playoff series. Practically, this makes it very hard for the Clippers to invest in late-career superstars.
* We don't have enough information to assess the quality of the Clippers' decision-making, at present.
* Clippers leadership made rational moves in the offseason that on paper made the Clippers better – and possibly considerably better. [I was excited.] It is hard to fault them for the moves that they made.
* Uncertainty was, is, and will remain very high. [Who would have thought that the Celtics would perform as they have this year?] Hindsight bias is a thing. Resist it.
* Ty Lue and JVG [what a coaching tandem!] have done a fantastic job despite massive adversity. Given what they've gotten out of super early career, unproven players, they will undoubtedly achieve surprising and impressive things with whoever they get back in trade.
* Sadly, the probability that a trade happens is very high. If you were in James spot – at his age and given what he's gone through with multiple teams (beginning with OKC), would you trust verbal guarantees offered under duress at the last minute?
Another vlogger speculated Julius Randle and Mike Connolly for Harden. I'd do that before dealing with the Cavs offer.
I feel like if we cant at least get a Lamelo caliber player we should probably trade James and Kawhi
He should go fast, he thinks too much of himself. You cant win in the PO with him, isoball doesnt work when its ON.
Will kawhi get traded as well ?
What about Ja to clipper š
Where is the source for wanting to trade Kawhi??
Canāt use hardens playoff experience he has a history or not showing up in big games. Trade him for Morant and trade kawaii for whoever start over now.
Good, the ball will move more and no more iso ball. Now trade Zu, waive Lopez and Beal, and we'll be getting somewhere.
Iām cool with DG for Harden straight up
Man Clippers are always scrambling!
I knew it. That's why I don't trust this team at all.
Loved James tenure here. He repped the city well, clearly enjoys playing here. I bet he wants to stay, but itās just not in the long term picture for the clips. He was a leader for this squad, always available and coach of the youth. He will be missed. Respect for JH
I love harden but this is a win win for both parties if he gets traded
