Mike, as a heat fan.... what makes Stephen A Smith thinks that the Miami Heat going after for James Harden? I don't have time to think about star's players... all the Heat fans think about star players comment like Damian Lillard and Bradley Beal, but not me I was thinking about going after a big man ..... we need a big man not a star player, I don't have time to beat the center attention, and we still haven't got a big man..... I'm not mad for the Damian Lillard trade, what I'm not it's just a big man we need a big man
Matt Barnes is 100% right. The NBA doesn't need James Harden anymore. He keeps this shit up, he's gonna talk his way out of the league entirely, not just the 76ers. And frankly, I don't think him being on the Clippers will turn out any better than it did for the Nets. I think Clippers need to do everything they can to avoid him like the plague. Use those assets towards finding a better PG and/or a big man who's a better floor spacer than zubac. That's what pushes the Clippers to the next level, not Harden. He's not going to win them a championship. He's never been a consistent performer in the postseason. Sure he's had a few playoff games where he goes big, but more consistently he underperforms or worse, he's a no show and ends up with games where he shoots horribly from the field, plays timid and takes less than 10 shots, high turnovers, all the while playing horrible perimeter defense. He's never played big in a win or go home game as far as I know. He's a regular season stat stuffer and literally can't play basketball unless he can isolate whenever he wants to and he initiates the offense on every single possession. The league has moved past James Harden, simple as that. He's in his mid 30s, he's one dimensional af, proven by the fact his stats have went down since the foul call changes, can't play defense worth a damn, and has major character issues. He's a team chemistry killer. Dude needs to have a come to jesus moment.
I saw this coming when he was in china doing flipping cartwheels on a live stream for selling some wine. Most athleticism we’ve seen from harden in awhile.
@@Cashmere_Gaming but they didn’t, and the fact that harden has had chris paul, kd, and joel embiid as half his duo and still didnt win will be more looked at then going 13-3 with kd and kyrie
Of the 3 of them, only KD had a valid reason to miss games. Kyrie sat out on his own will because he didn’t want to get vaccinated (which is his own right) and Harden was out of shape anyways. That trio would’ve been a ticking time bomb.
The fact everyone acts like this isn't true. He was done a long time ago. Just because he's better than 99.9% of the world, doesn't mean he isn't a bum in the NBA.
Its pressure from the Players Association. They want every player to get every penny they can, and I agree. It’s not the players responsibility to make a GMs or owners job easier
@@Cheif_Espada If the team owners want rings, they could have made a better CBA. They protected profits and made the GM's job harder. They could do things like having tenured players (say 5+ years with the same team) cost less for cap purposes.
When he got traded to the Sixers, I said it on day one. It was a huge mistake. Yeah, they got a bit better, no doubt, but he's poison. Let him leave, I never wanted him to play for the Sixers.
We don't want that fat-ass flopper in Euroleague!!! He can go play in China or Abu-Dabi, we couldn't care less. Sidenote: His "euro-step" is called traveling in Euroleague...
Harden’s career went off a cliff rather than a slow decline. I’ve never seen a player go from NBA MVP to Nathan’s hot dog eating champ imposter. I’ve seen plenty of players decline over their careers due to injuries, but never seen a decline to to donut overdosing.
If only the NBA did something about the Spurs back in the day with their fouls bullshit. Tony Parker and them would intentionally bump into the defender and fall to the floor and draw the foul. The refs would fall for that shit all the time. You can clearly see Spurs players run into the defenders and fall to the ground.
It should be embarrassing for some of these players to be as thin skinned and weak minded as they seem to be but i doubt they even realize how they look.
ive said in a couple videos a few months back he will be out of the nba in a couple years, people thought i was nuts. Now its looking like hes going to be out of the nba after this year...
Embiid have the best team you can have,comper others stars and there teams:Still good Ben, Butler, Tayrise, PJ, Harden and more good players, but Embiid always shit the bad in Playoff. Embiid have better roster then 90% of the teams.
He's turning into Dwight Howard but even more emotional and whiny somehow lol. Everyone won't want him because he just bails if he doesn't get everything he wants. He's got no playoff dawg in him. Only had it once maybe like 7 years ago lol.
NBA needs to stop all of this self entitled super star shit. There’s so many talented players that never get a shot but idiots like Harden can cry and kick their feet and get anything they want. NBA doesn’t need them! It’s a privilege to even get to play. Stop letting players demand trades consistently
Not really Embiid and harden are both ball dominate and not elite defenders. Giannis can guard multiple positions inside and out. Harden can pass but wants his first. we have seen that thru his career.
Another great video! However I think Mike may have glossed over THE most important issue in the Harden situation. I may be crazy, but I firmly believe teams would still be willing to put up with ALL the "challenges" that come with signing him IF he didn't have such a well documented track record of playing subpar in the playoffs. Sure not every collapse was his fault, but there's simply too many examples of him playing below his talent level when it mattered most that I think most teams feel like "Why would we overpay, for a difficult guy, who will only be rental , AND who we can't confidently say will show up when we need him most in the post-season?"
@@ThePrufessa I said a rental because he has a habit of wanting out of whatever team he's on so him being signed is almost irrelevant (like the situation he's in right now with the 76ers).
@@barak-rocky-giles2081 yeah well the problem is that's not what rental means. A rental is when you trade for a star caliber player on an expiring contract knowing that they don't plan on signing a new contract. So they're only there until the end of the season. James harden just signed a new contract. He's not a rental in any way shape or form. What you're describing is him being a spoiled malcontent.
@@ThePrufessa You are distinguishing between 2 different paths, which is wasted effort in this case because they both lead to the same place. This is LITERALLY the one player in the league where there is no difference in how we're each defining "rental" BECAUSE he has already forced his way out of 2 teams (while still under contract) and is working on his way out of a 3rd team. In both cases, the teams wind up with less than what they had before they traded for him.
@@barak-rocky-giles2081 I'm not distinguishing anything. I'm telling you that you're using the term "rental" completely wrong. Rentals only happen at the trade deadline. Someone that gets acquired at the beginning of the season is not considered a rental in any context. And you're just making yourself look dumb.
James Harden is a very selfish superstar who doesn't understand the meaning of teamwork, trust and unity. He is very toxic to his teammates and coaches so it is impossible for him to win a championship no matter if he is talented, popular and famous. He is fully responsible for many coaches' firings because he always refused to listen when they told him to do. Laziness and sinful lifestyle already corrupted his body.
Been sick of Harden since he started getting away with traveling and trying to draw fouls instead of make baskets. The story of the NBA can be told without him.
By traveling, you mean the gather step, which damn near every player has in his bag. And the fouls were a byproduct of a loophole that was exploited by other players as well. Harden got most of the smoke because he perfected it. Harden has his place in NBA history, for better or worse.
Nah facts. They were looking unstoppable when they fired Nash and hired their new coach until Kyrie requested a trade imagine if they had Harden there instead of Simmons
The nets as a franchise are real bad at handling their stars. The Steve Nash gameplan was working until the franchise gave too much power to the players.
It pains me as a Thunder fan to see Harden go this direction. We loved him here. I understand why we traded him back in the day, but he had potential to be one of the best in the league. Sadly, he's clearly become a bona fide prima donna. That kind of guy is toxic and these days I wouldn't want him on my team no matter how good he is.
He turned that way on Houston, it's just that now it's more obvious to the world. Look how many players he wanted in Houston, got them, then demanded their trades - Howard, CP3, Westbrook. Look too at the whining about not getting a second MVP when he didn't get a ring yet.
I wouldnt be surprised if the nba blackball this from from the league. Wish Harden would just keep it pushing and play until his contract is expired and dip the hell out of philly
What the odds that Morey didn't know about the Oubre story? Almost zero. Why would he sign him at the exact moment he's trying to trade him? To piss him off enough to do something stupid like not show up?
James is obviously complicated , but he took a pay cut last year so Philly could improve their roaster, with Morley basically telling james he will get the max this year, They went back on James, and that is how the Drama started
He has an MVP, 2 AST Titles, & 3 Scoring Titles…”chose to flop & travel instead of playing” wtf are you even talking about rn, sounds like you’re spewing narratives & hating. Harden wasn’t even flopping that much last season
His track record is abysmal. Just look at the teams (and teammates) that he has left hanging, and it isn't because he can't submerge his talents in for the good of the team, this is All about James. I don't believe that the 76ers can trust him, but would welcome him back if: Do Not bring a disgruntled mindset to their lockeroom. Do Not dominate each possession of the ball, and when things break down, blame teammates and coaches for his shortcomings. Put all that money where your mouth is, and lead ,not bail,taking the 76ers deep into the postseason. No to any of this may result in a trade for a guy named Cash Considerations.
Bro, how can you not talk about that new rule in the CBA that is going to make it so that Harden can't even sign anywhere next year if he sits out?! It's the Ben Simmons rule and it might get its first run in Philly! That's 🪙
Harden leaving "x" isn't the problem. It's about picking the right situation and sticking with it. The Sixers was a good situation. He just refused to fit in and overvalues himself.
James Harden is the perfect example of the over hyped era of basketball we have had to endure for the past 10 years. A glorified 6th man getting as many attempts as he wants to inflate the numbers and get the highlight reel casuals to overate their favorite player and but merch
No need to make things up he sucks enough in the playoffs, in the locker room, and cannot or is not willing to play defense. That said he has a career effective fg percentage of 53% and a good effeicency rating. He is not Iverson who jacked up a million shots to get this points. Iverson was 43% effective fg percentage.
@@raymond2018 listen to me little buddy, you're not even talking basketball. When you have a player take 1,028 threes in one season and he misses 650 of them, you can take all your advanced stats and flush them right down the toilet. He's a 44% FG shot jacker on 1,900+ attempts in some seasons that's literally the crappiest shooting of almost any scoring leader ever! You can't miss 1,000+ FG's in a single season and even form your mouth to say the word efficient
Only stat that should matter is the SCORE! These modern guys will go 8/12 for 3pt, but miss all 3 shots in the 4th and lose by a point, and they will say 'I had a great game'. Players of past would rather miss their first 8 and make the shots that count most. 'means nothing, we lost' It's a different mindset to Harden and the like. Plenty have it, but he never has, never will.
If i was a star player on a team & the GM said "we have a chance to get Harden" my response would be "So when should I pack my bags? Bc I'm not playing w/ that dude"
Any player who would purposely get out of shape to force a trade doesn't want a win, they want to get their way. Those players aren't winners, they are whiners. When Terrel Owens held out, he kept in top shape. Yes, different sport.
I’d rather mike come out with less videos that focus on more content if all his videos are gonna be the same repetitive prizepicks intro, 7 minutes of recaps, and 2 minutes of actual content
I think he'd be a decent gamble for a team with a functional coaching situation or at a discount. I honestly don't blame him for leaving the nets and kyrie, but this situation is not a good look.
Prime harden got paid just couldn’t close playoff games, the closet franchise that gave gsw a run for their money, (during Durant waqrriors) but this dude doesn’t care anymore, I feel Kyrie with a chip honestly might be a better option as an owner, look at this THE SIXERS ARE DONE, sorry Philly., boo this man Philly you don’t deserve this!
Harden is the perfect example of, no beard no chicks. As soon as he found out he could pull chicks with that ridiculous beard he let that false confidence cloud his career.
James harden is why the nba should have been strict on their rules …. Worst these college /high school kids now making money before nba … we gonna have more of these inflated ego …. These guys are nothing without basketball… blackball them , let them sit at home and be humbled…. No one player is bigger than the nba
And James Harden is stuck too. He has zero leverage and he cannot get out of his contract without the Sixers saying he can go... There is a weird rule about this. Specifically this exact situation that separates it from others signing extensions and demanding trades. Philly has to ok him signing a contract even if it is in China or Europe or in G-league. His basketball playing career is on the line very literally. If I was Harden I wouldn't mind rolling those dice again. They were mightily hurt in the playoffs and better luck with the health could turn their fortunes. Though, Philly has been pretty tied down by Harden's antics and teams around them have mostly improved so the climb has gotten steeper and James and Joel aren't getting any younger. It is not like they are LeBron and CP3, but they are starting to feel the mileage... Season is looking like it will be another barn burner and there is no way of telling who's going to be playing who in the Finals. The west is like 12 teams deep of teams that should make the playoffs and the east is a bit more top heavy, but even then there are 3-4 teams that could easily come out of the East and Philly is one of these teams if they can retain their roster and find a way to get James to play.

Honestly he needs to be humbled. I'm here for it, niggas are ungrateful
Think so too. Maybe he can sell his beard hairs for profit😁
@@thato8000lol dude has already secured his bag
Melo 2.0
So satisfying to see this guy go down in flames. Hugely talented player who chose to flop and travel instead of playing
bro is a D1 hater
dude flopped his way to an MVP and talked his way out of the NBA. Absolutely unique
@@georgedinsdale2871 Ain't no hater, Curry revolutionized with the 3pt shooting, Harden revolutionized the game with flopping and arm-grabbing.
Such a weird mindset to have
He has an MVP, 2 AST Titles, & 3 Scoring Titles…”chose to flop & travel instead of playing” wtf are you even talking about rn, sounds like you’re spewing narratives & hating. Harden wasn’t even flopping that much last season
James Diva Harden
All of Phillys issues are karma for that undeserved MVP for Embiid
Facts. Crying shouldn’t get you a mvp
Freaking perk 😂
Daaaaaaaaaaaang!
denied my boy jokic his 3peat, so dumb
Love this
His track record is abysmal. Just look at the teams (and teammates) that he has left hanging, and it isn't because he can't submerge his talents in for the good of the team, this is All about James. I don't believe that the 76ers can trust him, but would welcome him back if: Do Not bring a disgruntled mindset to their lockeroom. Do Not dominate each possession of the ball, and when things break down, blame teammates and coaches for his shortcomings. Put all that money where your mouth is, and lead ,not bail,taking the 76ers deep into the postseason. No to any of this may result in a trade for a guy named Cash Considerations.
Well giving up some of his game for the good of the team is all about mindset and ego. So theoretically he can, but he really can't.
He is a NBA player not a track star. Horrible metaphor. Replace "track record" with record and your comment is marginally intelligent sounding.
Bro, how can you not talk about that new rule in the CBA that is going to make it so that Harden can't even sign anywhere next year if he sits out?!
It's the Ben Simmons rule and it might get its first run in Philly! That's 🪙
I liked Harden's basketball. Makes me sad that he's been handling things the way he has been.
He's just finding excuses for his own failures.
His ego is bigger than his beard.
You always have top production - thank you for your show, Mike
Harden leaving "x" isn't the problem. It's about picking the right situation and sticking with it.
The Sixers was a good situation. He just refused to fit in and overvalues himself.
i miss cheeseburger Harden 😢
Red Nation Stand Up 🚀 & Laugh At James FRAUDEN 😭😭😭😭
James Harden is the perfect example of the over hyped era of basketball we have had to endure for the past 10 years. A glorified 6th man getting as many attempts as he wants to inflate the numbers and get the highlight reel casuals to overate their favorite player and but merch
No need to make things up he sucks enough in the playoffs, in the locker room, and cannot or is not willing to play defense. That said he has a career effective fg percentage of 53% and a good effeicency rating. He is not Iverson who jacked up a million shots to get this points. Iverson was 43% effective fg percentage.
@@raymond2018 listen to me little buddy, you're not even talking basketball. When you have a player take 1,028 threes in one season and he misses 650 of them, you can take all your advanced stats and flush them right down the toilet. He's a 44% FG shot jacker on 1,900+ attempts in some seasons that's literally the crappiest shooting of almost any scoring leader ever! You can't miss 1,000+ FG's in a single season and even form your mouth to say the word efficient
Only stat that should matter is the SCORE! These modern guys will go 8/12 for 3pt, but miss all 3 shots in the 4th and lose by a point, and they will say 'I had a great game'. Players of past would rather miss their first 8 and make the shots that count most.
'means nothing, we lost'
It's a different mindset to Harden and the like. Plenty have it, but he never has, never will.
If i was a star player on a team & the GM said "we have a chance to get Harden" my response would be "So when should I pack my bags? Bc I'm not playing w/ that dude"
He already had ruined his career. It didn’t just happen.
Any player who would purposely get out of shape to force a trade doesn't want a win, they want to get their way. Those players aren't winners, they are whiners.
When Terrel Owens held out, he kept in top shape. Yes, different sport.
Hardens that one guy who quits a job by just not showing up anymore
Lol..I used to do that. Good times.
James Harden is not creating championship but he does a great job creating confusion !!!!!
Dont build a team around a player unless they can playmake . Foe example lebron ,joker,nash
I’d rather mike come out with less videos that focus on more content if all his videos are gonna be the same repetitive prizepicks intro, 7 minutes of recaps, and 2 minutes of actual content
Fax…i been feeling the same. Every video is a recap of his last recap
"Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard." - Tim Notke
I'd pick him up... on a small contract... he'd make a solid 6th or even 7th man.
Hardens still good, but I can’t really see a team that would want him.
Heat and the clippers
clippers@@mrsikes410
Several teams would take him, just not at his current asking price.
I think he'd be a decent gamble for a team with a functional coaching situation or at a discount. I honestly don't blame him for leaving the nets and kyrie, but this situation is not a good look.
@@spaceghostcqc2137I do. He asked to be traded there
Never seen a player catered to so much and accomplish so little.
Prime harden got paid just couldn’t close playoff games, the closet franchise that gave gsw a run for their money, (during Durant waqrriors) but this dude doesn’t care anymore, I feel Kyrie with a chip honestly might be a better option as an owner, look at this THE SIXERS ARE DONE, sorry Philly., boo this man Philly you don’t deserve this!
HARDEN IS JASON TERRY BUT BIGGER.ALWAYS BEEN A ROLE PLAYER NOT A FIRST OPTION ,BUT OTHERS SEE DIFFERENT FOR SOME REASON 💯
Dont disrespect the jet like that
Harden is the perfect example of, no beard no chicks. As soon as he found out he could pull chicks with that ridiculous beard he let that false confidence cloud his career.
James harden is why the nba should have been strict on their rules …. Worst these college /high school kids now making money before nba … we gonna have more of these inflated ego …. These guys are nothing without basketball… blackball them , let them sit at home and be humbled…. No one player is bigger than the nba
And James Harden is stuck too. He has zero leverage and he cannot get out of his contract without the Sixers saying he can go... There is a weird rule about this. Specifically this exact situation that separates it from others signing extensions and demanding trades. Philly has to ok him signing a contract even if it is in China or Europe or in G-league. His basketball playing career is on the line very literally.
If I was Harden I wouldn't mind rolling those dice again. They were mightily hurt in the playoffs and better luck with the health could turn their fortunes. Though, Philly has been pretty tied down by Harden's antics and teams around them have mostly improved so the climb has gotten steeper and James and Joel aren't getting any younger. It is not like they are LeBron and CP3, but they are starting to feel the mileage... Season is looking like it will be another barn burner and there is no way of telling who's going to be playing who in the Finals. The west is like 12 teams deep of teams that should make the playoffs and the east is a bit more top heavy, but even then there are 3-4 teams that could easily come out of the East and Philly is one of these teams if they can retain their roster and find a way to get James to play.
