Warriors can reset their tax if they let him and cp3 walk after this year

The chance their big 3 all end their careers playing only for the Warriors is really small. Curry probably will, Draymond maybe. But all 3 is a stretch

 

[The Q]

His concerns were never offense

 

[fightinfunbags]

You don’t get it, people have eyes and they watch the playoffs. In fact after the playoffs last year, which I assume you used your eyes to watch, you wanted him gone, for anything.

Playoffs do matter. Be consistent. Holiday got worked and failed in last year’s playoffs. Bucks saw it and that’s why they moved on.

 

[fightinfunbags]

What you're not getting is those stats don't mean shit. They're empty calories. Westbrooks stats with the Lakers were solid as well and it didn't translate to wins.

And lol @thinking Harden is the best option anywhere except strip club field trips.

No one wants to pay what the Sixers are asking because he chokes in the playoffs and is in the process of quitting on a 3rd team.

He’s much better than DeAngelo Russell. Agreed?

 

[fightinfunbags]

Maybe the rest of the owners are colluding to inflict maximum pain? They should.

Fair. But just don’t lie to everybody when you get called out for your irrational hate for Harden. It’s abundantly clear.

 

[fightinfunbags]

I know that, you know that, pretty much anyone who follows the NBA knows that...except Morey and funbagz.

Wow. You would be a shit GM. You can always dump Harden. Why would you even consider that as more than a last resort? Why would you consider that now when at a minimum $35 million of expiring salary has more value at the deadline. When did your team finally trade Russ? Deadline.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Powell
Morris
Brown (their first rounder this year)
Bones
First round pick

That deal isn’t worth giving up the $35 million in cap savings they would get. If the Sixers had any value for Bones they would have resigned Shake Milton.

 

[DJ Fieri]

No one seems to really want him at the Sixers asking price. He's an expensive quitter who can't be counted on in the playoffs.

You can keep posting this stuff, but you're starting to sound like some Lakers fans who thought the Lakers could get a king's ransom for Westbrook.

Yep.

LOL.

 

[DJ Fieri]

He actually shot 49 percent for the Clips, that’s a whole other ball game with everything he does.

More importantly? 36% on treys.

Yes but if it means the drama and BS we will pass. We already had drama with RW.

Dump him at deadline in 2024?

No team will trade for him after quitting on as many teams as he has. His next team is his last shot before he finishes his career in China.

Sure they would. A team that isn’t winning a title (probably some 24-25 teams) would jump at resetting contracts with $35 million going out over as many as 3-4 years to get immediate cap relief for this summer. You don’t respect the value of expiring contracts coming off the book. Oh wait…my bad. You only appreciate it when it’s last year and you’re selling Russell Westbrook.

One gives maximum effort and was fine with coming off the bench.

The other has quit on several teams and forced several teams to trade him.

Not exactly a good comparison.

We can argue this in December or Jan....

Bwahahaha! So the team acquiring Harden buys him out for the rest of the year to have him go away and they get the cap savings. You completely missed the point I made.

The only comparison that matters is the value of expiring money.

We shall see....he may not even get traded and play the entire season with Philly....

 

[fightinfunbags]

And what would this next team be receiving for him? A few 2nd rounders and a few overpaid 9th and 10th guys?

LOL.

They clear $35 million + on their salary cap.

Here ya go. Zack Lavine is making $40 million per year through the 2026-27 season. If the Bulls are going to start a rebuild and that’s the decision in March the Bulls can take on the remaining 10-13 left on paying Harden this year and they get out of 4 years at 40 million per year. That’s cap savings over 4 years of a total of $160 million dollars. Bwahahaha! You can’t see this? Did you just get here? Don’t you understand the impact of the cap in NBA basketball?

And that would be because they don’t get any offer that is worth the Sixers giving up their own access to the $35 million that comes off of the cap.
