My prediction. Harden isn’t getting traded this year. Just saying.????????โโ๏ธ Are the Nets or any other team willing to gut their entire team for him????? I just don’t see it happening but who knows.

I think Brooklyn definitely would but they just don’t have enough to offer Houston.. Not unless there’s a third team who’s willing to play ball.

James harden needs to be traded. Houston is absolutely going nowhere. Teams in the western conference like the jazz warriors lakers and grizzlies are coming up.

Rockets, they can trade him next year. Or trade him to a different team

Harden doesnโt have to play. Trade him to the hornets harden doesnโt have to play for them. He had more than enough money to stop playing right now

@KiD yes he does, or he doesn’t get paid. If he doesn’t play, teams will be turned off. You cannot just SIT…

Itโs a game of chicken at this point … whoโs gonna blink first ? Will James harden get his wish ? Will the rockets do nothing and let this carry on into the season ? Will someone replace Kendrick Perkins Mic with a less sensitive one? Find out on the next episode of dragon ball z

the difference is AD had 1 year left in he’s contract. teams can trade for him and he walks the next year. harden is signed till 2023, houston has the leverage

How is max going to say harden has leverage, then say he has to wait for a bit heโs literally contradicting himself
Kauko

Leverage? He has NO leverage… He has a contract so that is it!
KiD
November 19, 2020 at 8:44 am
He doesnโt have to play for the team you trade him to. If he gets traded to say the hornets he doesnโt have to play for them because he is more than set up for life with the money he has made throughout his career. Look at VC he forced his way out of Toronto he played bad on purpose and got traded

@KiD so? He not gonna do that tho and miss out on 45 mil a year and the rockets still have him on contract so he has to play that’s part of the contract

AD would have NEVER resigned with the Celtics. This is coming from a Cโs fan. Harden doesnโt have as much leverage as AD cause of his contract, but heโs got more leverage than the rockets

No he doesn’t because he’s 31 and will be almost 34 in 2 years. The Rockets will just wait it out and let him walk but his prime will be gone by then. No-one not named CP3 is getting a big contract at that age period. The Rockets choices are to trade him for scrubs and late 1st pick or let him walk and clear cap in 2 years. Either way they gain nothing might as well wait it out.

I truly believe perk has a personal problem with Max. Even when Max agrees with him he finds a way to get at him. He never talks back stephen A when he disagrees with him.
