The Clippers are now 4-7 since trading for Harden, or 0-1 in his "ready" state.

Memes aside, he was okay this game, but okay isn't good enough when you're with a fully healthy Clippers vs a Reggie Jackson-led Nuggets.

Harden isn't exactly playing terribly as a Clippers, but at this point in his career, it's hard to justify an offence-first player on a team as offensively stacked as the Clippers when they're in desperate need of some more off-ball movement.

Harden is looking to secure a max extension, we'll have to see what kind of contract he can muster as he gets more into game shape as the season progresses.

Nah that actually is nephew take; because I don’t see that skill set . It’s like with the Utah kid cebtre : the tools him n lively have immediately were useful but OUTSUDE of growing defensively into a gobert type or in that mold day I can’t see them magically getting all the skills embid has.Msxey was an absurdly good shooter b absurdly athletic , people not on this sub who have an idea how players progress woukd guess he’d be atleast a sub all star lvl player : I mean I did and I’m not a Philly fan or a massive draft nerd even if I read stuff once in a while. Players tend to snow flashes : it’s why projecting Wemby n Chet to mvp centre lvl is easier even if lively is very good now I wouldn’t project that way .

Maxey was absolutely not an absurdly good shooter -- him becoming one is a huge surprise.
