James Harden sucks, man. His game is an abomination. It's so boring and frustrating to watch. The Rockets spent almost a decade doing everything he wanted and building the team to cater to him and here at the end he pulls this?

His actions are not only going to damage the Rockets, but he's jeopardizing the season and future leverage of other players if this becomes the catalyst for owners to crack down on the player empowerment era.
I completely agree that his game is an abomination. I can't watch another video breaking down his step back shot which, based on proper basketball rules, is a travel. Add to this his lack of leadership and clutch play in the playoffs. He's overrated as far as superstars go.
Harden: Build a championship around me or else.
*acquires Dwight Howard*
Harden: Not like that.
*acquires Chris Paul*
Harden: Not like that.
*acquires Russel Westbrook*
Harden: Not like that.
*acquires John Wall*
Harden: Not like that.
At a certain point the players being acquired aren't the problem.
That’s my main beef with him. They’ve squandered so many assets over the years to build around him and somehow he’s never the problem? The way he plays can never change? And now he’s trying to force his way out by blatantly flouting the Covid rules of the NBA (which should probably still be doing a bubble, but that’s another story).
LOL, he's never playing again.
Does his beard get separate tests?
$226m/5yr max contract for Paul George.
Worth it? I can’t help but imagine this being one of those “untradeable” “albatross” contracts in 2023, shortly after which he’ll be traded to the Kings.
Hahahaha! That seems ridiculous. I'm not a Paul George fan, though.

Will look more ridiculous if Kawhi walks and they are just stuck with a monster George contract.
Steve Ballmer might not give a f*ck about the $$$ tho but it can still hand cuff them salary cap wise.
Tough spot for the Clippers to be trying to build their brand and relevance coming off a LeBron championship + Lakers looking even better roster wise.
Double Gasol brothers? Stop trying to make me like the Lakers!!!!!

That's crazy to me. Wow.
Kawhi...come back "home" son. The Raptors love you. 
When the PG trade happened a lot of the discussion was about how that was the cost of getting Kawhi. So what the current cost in annual salary to keep Kawhi happy?
Can someone please explain why Kyrie is like this?
Mom died when he was four, could be part of it?
The fantasy league draft day is this coming Saturday at 1PM ET, and there are still two spots open if anyone wants to join!
Otherwise I'm good with 10 teams, but it would be nice with an even dozen!
Are we doing a new thread for the season?
Looks like some preseason games happening this weekend.
We should, yeah. Since this last season lasted:
