Is that what happened though? If Kyrie was injured and not bat shit crazy Harden is likely still a Net. Kyrie tanked their season. That’s not on Harden.

Yes it is. Harden reacted by playing disinterested basketball. How about just playing hard and earning your money?

I get it...he's a Sixer now, so your knee jerk reaction is to try to defend him. It's not going to work. He was on a team looking to win a title and he quit. At least Kyrie was man enough to accept that he wasn't going to get paid for gameshe chosenot to play.

Harden, on the other hand, stole money from 2 teams.

He may not be responsible for what Kyrie did, but he's responsible for his own actions.

And his own actions were half assed (if that) efforts.

I would argue both teams were going nowhere before Harden pulled his bull shit and the going nowhere part out of his control is why he pulled it.

If you are going to try to sell us that Harden has a competitive bone in his body it’s not going to work. He’s never had one.

Then how do you explain him taking less so they can make a trade and sign the FA's they did?

How do you get to being a basketball hall of Famer without having a competitive bone in your body?

Maybe his agent told him he better do this to clean up his reputation? Maybe there wasn’t much of a market for him on a big long deal to begin with.

And Harden reacted like a child by quitting.
I mean you don’t go ring chasing to watch a guy use basketball as his platform for his anti vaxx campaign. But whatever. Harden quit because Kyrie went off the reservation.

No we are playing cause and effect as in hey I’m joining up for a super team and then oh shit one of the two dudes I came here to play with has lost his Fucking mind. I’m getting out of here.

Also why does my Harden view point get dismissed by people here because I’m a Sixers fan but people don’t give you the same shit? Clearly, your Harden opinion is driven by the epic fail in OKC having Russ Harden and KD and nothing to show from that era. Kind of weird.

Yup, not exhibiting character gets easier and easier as you keep doing it.
