The 76ers should just keep James Harden (alien.top)

The trade package the Clippers want to send looks like shit, and Harden was the one who chose to opt in to the deal so why should he have the right to demand a trade. They should tell Harden to either show up and stop being a baby or he’ll get fined + waste a year of his contract. If the 76ers accept that bad offer they’re still in a bad position anyway.

Nick Nurse is a good coach way better than Doc, I think Harden should give it a shot they can go far in the playoffs. If it wasn’t for him and Embiid choking plus Doc Rivers they would’ve made the conference finals easily last year.

Prove people wrong? If last season didn't prove to teams that Harden is valuable then why the fuck would this season be any different? He led the league in assists and was one of the top players in the league by most metrics. Do you expect him to play even better than last year despite being forced to play on a team he wants no part of? Harden would have exactly the same value around the league whether he sits out all year or plays 82 games for the Sixers.

I think the playoff collapse against the Celtics really hurt his value, but I also agree his value is dampened by things that don't have to do with his on-the-court ability, which is why it behooves him to go out there and play and show he can go through a full season and not create dissention and wreck a locker room, whether it be fair or not that his rep basically has come to that.
