SAS is a giant blowhard and an idiot but either way, Perk is totally right here

They ignore that the only time Kyrie doesnt show up to work is when iTz politically driven, which is partially ESPN’s fault cause they keep bringing politics in sports. They tryn to attack Kyrie’s character as a guy that doesnt show up to work to mask that fact.

Steve Nash’s coaching is a major concern

One of these four teams will come out of the East:
1. 76ers
2. Nets
3. Bucks
4. Heat

Steven A is a clown. He was screaming for the trade and now this. Why do people listen to someone who has never played the game

Perk speaking facts. Joel and KD are the same. It’s just Joel is a center so everything he does is slower .

Playoff Doc & Playoff Harden on the same team.. Lol good luck. The Nets are scarier than most people think.

Where are you gonna be at in June, Molly? Call a small market city trash and go on a vacation during the finals like you did last time.

SAS is so stupid with the amount of evidence of a ball dominite guard/wings+big guy duos that also want the ball that have worked and he says this. Its ok though kyrie will ease tension burning some sage before the game because of some bad juju he senses.

This Harden hasn’t showed up in the post season needs to stop. He almost beat prime warriors 3 times, stop it, just stop it!

Perk really almost said “Find me a center that makes point guard plays”….. is the literal MVP invisible to these fools??? 🃏

Embiid is happy about this trade he’s been publicly wanting Simmons to be traded. Now that harden is there sky’s the limit. This is a surprising block buster trade I’m looking forward to seeing how this duo plays in upcoming weeks. Will Ben Simmons play better with nets also is what I’m curious to see

I think Hardens biggest weakness has been his lackadaisical defense and throw Thybull on the court all the time with Harden to hide his defensive deficiencies you have a really scary team. Philly wins this trade because they didnt lose maxey or thybull.

Has Perk ever heard of Joker at center. You know Embid only scores more then him right, umm with less talent. Joker gets 26 13 boards and 7 assist with no one. Stop it.

Harden has never been a closer in tight close games, that mean something like NBA playoffs. He will have to defer to Embid but he wont since he wants to be the hero and take the last shot instead of passing the ball to embid down low and this will be the bone of contention. who gets the ball last. Who gets to take the shot. Is harden a team player? Thats the question.
