Not at all believable.. hes ineffective
Strip clubs in Cleveland celebrating right now
The Lakers built an aging super team in 2004 only to see the younger Detroit Pistons run circles around them in a 4-1 finals victory.
LeBron James turns 42 next season. James Harden turns 37 next season. Don't let Stephen A. Smith get your hopes up Cleveland fans.
Did someone give mad dog ozempic or is he just old now 💀
Bro back in the day you had no choice where you went these players are spoiled these days I'm trading you to where it makes sense for my team fts
It's star power for a city that's freezing with now
IM WITH MAD DOG MITCHELL OVERRATED
HE DONT COME UP BIG IN BIG GAMES
I think SAS is correct its another PG situation and decision. PG also not satisfied with the offer of Clips. Its all about the money
AD!! Made of glass 😢
Cleveland will not win a championship with Harden. Harden is horrible in the playoffs for his career. No defense. It will be fun and exciting but no ring.
Over on harden assist
Pistons are still coming out of the East
Wow! I believe he is happy with traded.
Cavs are ruined now
Now if they get Bron 😍
I ain’t gone lie pacers could use him rn
YOU'RE not. lol when you have a certain amount of money, every place is EXACTLY how you want it to be.
You not coming out of ish cause of bron
Cleveland strip clubs are trash so Harden ain’t gonna last. 😂😂😂
It's not the same without Molly 😥
DEISPN with their typical passive/aggressive nonsense.
What a joke this network has become, a bunch of 🤡
Lackluster takes
PaulRaptor3
Nobody calls Los Angeles "LaLa"
Should have stuck with Brodie LAC! Not as high a scorer but he wouldn't abandon the team (or the playoffs) and probably be way cheaper
He’s not a great passer how you’re making him seem bruh he just throws it normally to a active Steph curry once he leaves his assist will plummet
Cleveland is an underrated city. Good living here.
harden wanna bag
Punk
15:11 “Ice Suspect”
If allegedly had a face it would be Brian and Stephen A, how yall gon tell that man what happen in his life!! Lastly keep detroit name out yall mouth stop trying to jinx us, it's still Detroit vs everybody💯
He copy and pasted a break up text to his side chicks .
Seeing Stephen A tweaking out off Embarcadero melts my heart. WARRIORS!!!!!!
All this to lose to the Knicks
I love that players got freedom/ the power but when superstars constantly switch teams just feels wrong
He just glad he on a team in the East 2 carry him 2 a finals hopefully
Harden says one thing – pundits we know better 😂
