    Maybe meet in the middle and call it the mid level exception.

    You're right he was great at those places but he wouldn't work with KD. He woulda just been released again after text gate because cp3 woulda destroyed kd and ime would know all about his offense. It wouldn't last because cp3 can't play anymore and doesn't have that pull.

    Typical delusional Harden fanboi take. You wanna talk about history? Let’s really talk about it.

    Chris Paul has led FOUR different NBA teams to franchise record best wins including Houston. Think about that for a sec.

    That makes him the first and only player in league history to achieve this feat. He also led that OKC team that was predicted to finish bottom 3 in the league to the playoffs. Chris Paul was the only one that kept Harden accountable as he was in the best shape of his life and helped him win MVP.

    Cp3 is an azzhole no doubt and he has his faults as well but he’s still the best thing that ever happened to Harden and of course Harden burned that bridge cause he more worried about side quests like this BS.

    Cavs fans were happy just to get to the ecfs and admitted they would not have gotten there with garland. It's all perspective.

    Im not a Harden fanboy. Not sure why you need to even go there. Im not into the biased vs that Cltuchfans likes to do. I like harden and CP3. I'm being honest about their careers. Harden is a great player who never won a chip in part because of bad luck and him been scared of the big lights as the main guy. CP3 was a stern leader and a great point guard. I think he had the best sight of anyone not named Magic or Stockton but he was an ******* and had bad luck too and also choked too. Im not sure how being honest about what happened makes me a Harden fanboi lol Also you admitted cp3 was an ******* so not sure why you responded like me calling him an ******* was somehow saying he was a terrible player? curious lol

    Neither of those teams failed because of Harden lol The nets with KD and Kyrie were a .500 team before he got there and certainly the scandal with Kawhi and the Clippers trying to get younger had nothing to do with Harden. They told him they wouldnt extend him so he asked to go to the cavs it was a mutual break.

    17 year career filled with hand selecting your destination multiple times only to choke and come up short time after time after time while playing with multiple MVP’s, superstars and all stars and you want to attribute it to “bad luck”? Agree to disagree.

    3 things Frauden allergic to. Transcend, overcome adversity, pressure. I told yall that well over a decade ago.

    The fact that you can type out "playing with multiple MVPs" tag to make it seem like Harden was carried throughout his career truly does require a level of mental gymnastics and a level of hatred for at least top-3 Rocket player in Houston history, that I admit I could never hope to ever reach in my life.

    It’s only hatred to a sensitive Harden fanboi. However it’s simply facts (which I only speak btw) to everyone else.

    Let’s discuss… was Harden not a 6th man in OKC where he played with 2 future MVP’s? Did he not link up again with WB who was an MVP and MVP Runner Up? Did he not link up again with KD who was a 2X Champion, 2X NBA Finals MVP, Regular season MVP and 3X Runner up for MVP? Did he not play with Kawhi who was a 2X NBA Champion and 2X Finals MVP? How about Embiid who was an MVP and a 2X runner up for MVP? If you’re going to reply back with excuses or something subjective… don’t bother. If I said something that is not 100% factual then feel free to correct me.

    I’d rather be in the Clippers/ Nets position than ours.

    Youre an example of the problem with media and fans not just surrounding the NBA but in America as a whole. Deeply biased full of hatred. The person who is the object of your vitriol is like the devil in your mind. pure evil worst person ever. the people you love are godly and pure and you completely ignore their mistakes. Its the only power you have. I mean I dont like KD but even Im capable of being honest about his career and what he has done great and what he does wrong. You cant do that. Youre like Max Kellerman calling Harden, Trump which is ridiculous. Your posts sound clownish and embarassing. Learn objectivity and your opinions will carry more weight.

    Yup the Clips got Mathurin and a good young point guard in Garland. They can trade Kawhi for some picks or more young pieces.

    When the Rockets made it to the WCFs for the first time in 20 years I would say thats a pay off. When he became the first MVP since Hakeem, thats a pay off. Its all perspective and whther or not youre spoiled. The magic havent won a series in near 20 years I think. Its been a long time. I bet they would love to be losing in the eastern confernce finals right now lol Objectively speaking.

    Everything I stated was a fact based upon said players achievements aka “objectivity”. I clearly said don’t bother responding if you’re going to respond with some irrelevant drivel and low and behold that’s exactly what you respond with. Media? Kellerman? Trump? America? Your personal feelings about KD? What are you even going on about? You sir are low IQ.
