James Harden was smart for wanting out of Philly

You condone a professional athlete refusing to play and purposely losing shape because he doesn't like the owner/team/management?

Twice?

Just Philly... A true pretender of an organization.

I think the OP wakes up in the middle of the night and says "how stupid can I look on the message board today? Oh, I know. I'll type this....."

Have to give him credit for one thing. At least he's consistent.

No he is dumb because he forced his way into Philly then jumped ship. The same way he jumped ship in Brooklyn the same way he jumped ship in Houston I hope he never wins a ring.

The people that gave him hell for it don’t know basketball. He’s a legend that’s earned his respect…
He’s a legend alright, I’m sure he’s enshrined with plaques in strip joints and various eateries.

I don't think that was the case in Philly...at least according to Harden. He wanted to stay in Philly but Philly didn't want him after how things went in 2023 and the playoffs.

I think they were right to move on and the Sixers have a solid squad right now...at least with a healthy Embiid they do.

I liked Harden on the team but I think they did the right thing in moving on from him.

No they don't. They're a second round out at best that put all their eggs in the 2024 free agency basket when there's not a whole lot out there.

As much as I don't like today's Hield trade for the Pacers, it doesn't move the needle for Philly either as they could've easily saved assets and gotten Norm Powell in the Harden deal.
