What do you mean? Those 3 GMs could be Warriors, Nets, or 76ers (teams that talked about trading for Harden). Plus Not every team need, want, can get or is trying to get Harden.

As previous shows mentioned, just wait for those teams to get off to bad starts, then watch how fast his trade value increase. I would not trade Harden yet unless you’re getting back a legit all-star with multiple draft picks.

I get Max point we definitely have seen how teams will wait on the market for certain players AD was gonna get the lakers whole roster it seemed but they wanted to wait AD mucked up any other trades and they had to take the lesser laker offer a year later

Do they not understand supply and demand? And just b/c you shout doesn’t mean you’re right Perk. I can’t wait till he gets traded.

Here’s an economy lesson for Matt: if the value of something is down right now, the you don’t sell! You hold, watch Harden’s value go back up when he’s making 40 point triple doubles night after night, and sell high!

That was all with Mike D’Antoni’s system. The team will have to trade him soon because his teammates don’t want to play with someone who doesn’t want to be there. The Houston fans wouldn’t won’t cheer him. And the organization don’t want to deal with the media asking about trades all season long.

5:24 Yes sir, Harden was interacting with his teammates…standing still like a lightning rod waiting to be hit by that pass which was deflected by his chest.
Oh, you chose not to join in pre-season training camp so you could learn your new teammates’ tendencies and perhaps they could learn yours? And NOW you use that as additional fuel for wanting to be traded? I’m just PRAYING Spo’RIley doesn’t trade for him. Rumor has it they’re “interested” but IDK what camp is spreading that rumor, I don’t see Miami giving up their defensive, pass-friendly playstyle for Harden. Been wrong before, I thought we were 1000% dedicated to Winslow but bringing Iggy in was a great move. Iguodala and Haslem are some great old-heads to lead the locker room while Butler leads the floor-game.

Can’t believe that Max just said the 76ers are gonna tell the Rockets Harden come join Embiid and Simmons. As if the Rockets would trade Harden without receiving either Simmons or Embiid. Max is out of his dam mind
