That’s cause homeboy’s in on it. He’s part of the matrix. Don’t be fooled. Andrew Tate speaks the truth and he can change your life. Repent and stop being a beta bitch.
i feel bad for wesley jonson who once got sent to europe with james harden patent crossover now he has to pretend to be his development coach and develop hardens game lol
@@cowpoke3637 and they played well together in OKC where they first started together. My point is Russ finally has peace. He has found somewhere that appreciates him and now James shows up AGAIN and will no doubt stir up a bunch of BS like he does everywhere he goes.
Worried about Clippers chemistry being destroyed. Westbrook in LA Clippers looked like he was happy to be there. And now Harden is there. Hope no drama. Can Harden eventually get over the hump coming playoff time? That has been his weakness.
@@AndresMartinez-qb9hthe didn't mention that for a reason, he's talking about Hardens and Westbrook's relationship, which is shaky at best. Read between the lines better bro.
@@tytonwiseman7995 Nobody cares about Westbrook and Harden last time I checked that's Kawhi Leonard team they better make it work cuz they will get traded again 😭😭 Trust me they don't want that on their Resume 🤣
@@AndresMartinez-qb9ht Westbrook is playing better now on the Clippers then he ever was on the wizards. Not only that he has EARNED his spot on the team. Harden deserves basically nothing. And again no one mentioned kawhi Leonard for a reason. He spoke of because of the s*** harden pulls. Stop dick riding for one second and READ
they preemptively make these videos so that the second the news is breaking he’ll have it ready. Its not like he’s presenting new info about harden or this is a surprise to anyone, he’s been asking for a trade for months so it makes sense he’d have this video ready.
How the hell did you release this this fast , you’re dedication to your craft and having your finger on the pulse is gonna pay dividends in this career you’re the best ! (Shoutout to the editors as well)
Thank you brother. I actually gave my top editor the night off in preparation for the NFL deadline tomorrow. So I had to make two videos on my own. I’m glad the quality still held up tho. And I’m glad u enjoyed :)
"Harden's better than Jordan" had me rolling on the ground. How many rings he got? How many MVP's? How many scoring titles? Harden don't even play defense. That statement from Morey was ludicrous. He should get his head checked
I wanna say this gone be they year but really, the entire starting 5 is more likely to end up on IR than finish the season. Theyll be fun to watch while their healthy.
The only one I can see playing 60 games or more in that 5 man line up is Zubac and Westbrook. Hardens hamstrings the last 4 years, Kawhi’s knees, PG’s injuries are everywhere whether it’s shoulder, knee, elbow, hamstring
I mean, he even showed up out of shape to avoid flying out for pre-season. He's pulling what he did at Houston to force a trade to Brooklyn again, isn't he?
The 76ers won the trade.Tyrese avg dang near 30pts. Embid is the MVP of the league. Tobias Harris still gets buckets. Kelley Oubre avg 20ppg last yr. And they add all this depth from the trade! K.J Martin, Batum, Marcus Morris. They deep bro
How is this Clippers situation any different from the Nets with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving??? Harden will start acting like a spoiled brat when Paul George and Kawhi Leonard start sitting out games. Harden will not be the first choice when they are on the court, and will need to adjust when they are on the bench.
I am with you here, I don't really understand this trade from the Clippers perspective...even though James Harden will always be a legend they basically get rid of all of their depth for an aging star..to me they had more of a solid team before.
Legend of what? Dude is a playoff choker who has come up small year after year in the playoffs. He brings drama everywhere he goes which is why he’s on his 4th team in 4 years. It’s incredible to me that people think for some reason he’s going to be a different player when he’s been the same guy for a decade now
Not very to be honest. He wanted out of Houston, wanted out of the Ners and wanted out of Philly. Dude never seems happy and spends more time at strip clubs than anything
1st off, Mann got game he isn't just a young player. 2nd, Nic Batum is the only player that was playing and had the highest value for the Clippers in that trade, so the depth wasn't given up. Morris wasn't even playing and Covington wasn't getting minutes because they had to many guys doing that exact skill that he brought to the table. Martin just got there, so idk. The 76ers caved is what happened. Clippers didn't really lose anything, but Batum. PS - You had all this queued up waiting for something to happen
That people in the comment section say 76ers won the trade is insane. The Clippers got James Harden essentially for picks and Batum, Covington and Martin. But they got PJ Tucker, too. They lost a 3 and D in Batum and got one back in Tucker. Plus the Clippers got what they needed, a top playmaker. This year is LAC's best chance to win it all.
So for MONTHS the narrative is “Harden isn’t worth anything” “The Sixers are crazy if they think they’re getting 2 firsts” and now the Sixers DO get 2 firsts, 2 seconds, a swap, a starting forward and 3 bench players and the Sixers got fleeced???? I hate NBA discourse lmao
If you told people 10 years ago that the Clippers would have Harden, Westbrook, Kawhi, Boy George, Kobe and Jordan.. no one would believe you. but here we are.
At the end of the year or by playoff time,heres how it'll end,leonard=injured/load managment,harden=not playing disgruntled,george=injured/rehabing,westbrook=playing. ..I GUARANTEE IT!!
Harden, Russ, George, Kawhi, Zubac, Powell, Tucker, Mann, Bones Hyland, Plumlee. Dude, look at 10 man depth, that's a good depth. They really have to go win a chip now.
I remember being excited about these type trades years ago. But these days its on repeat. I really blame it on the Nba though. They clearly showed the players its business then basketball. So now more than anything the players focus on the money more than the game. Winning Championships used to be a thing.
@Augrills You do realize Harden forced his way out. That was the only place he was going bruh. Nobody said the Clippers not focused on chips. I'm speaking on a lot of the players. It's way to many examples bro fr fr
@@Stoneygreat there’s two examples: harden and Ben Simmons lol. I guess Dame and KD asked for trades, but they balled out until they got traded. Kawhi held out on San Antonio, but he’s got a chronic knee condition that’s plagued him every since the zaza play
Only thing that’s a safety net, Coming from a Lakers fan, The Clippers look like they have a good team that has fun together. They have a great Coach in Lue. Harden does not have the power to come in messing anything up. No attitude no crying no bs. If he messes up he’s outta there. He’s going to be on his best behavior and the team is tight knit enough to not allow a weak link. I’m especially proud of the way Westbrook is playing and if nobody has noticed PG and Kawhi look like literal best friends. Like I said as a Lakers fan I still like how the Clippers look together.
I understand what you're trying to say flight Mike but the interesting thing is this; Getting traded is part of the game; And if and when these players want to get traded and they don't at reasonable time, they have every right to throw a fit because they're no longer comfortable where they are. But like you said, it's all abt how they go abt it, but the front office also were acting like big babies FIRST, not wanting to let him go. And he followed suit.
You heard it here first: I bet you Harden and Westbrook are going to have chemistry problems down the line leading to one of them leaving. No indications, I just feel it.
TheFlightMike good commentary, good analysis. In my opinion, I’m curious to see how the lineup is going to be. Are they gonna start Kawhi Leonard at the power forward position. Westbrook is a better leader than James Harden, so I think Westbrook was still being a lineup. We’ll see, they lost some depth , but they wasn’t using all of it either. As the NBA goes.
That's going to be the issue Harden is going to be playing for stats to try and get a max deal that he's definitely not going to get. That's why they wouldn't trade Mann and Guarantee a First he's a one year rental. Westbrook is playing 100% for a chip and nothing else. Ironically I wouldn't be surprised if Russ still had great stats due to playing games where he's the first or second option due to being healthy while others are injured.
@@allenross3050 What does net worth matter the 76ers owner is worth 6.5 billion he could have paid Harden you see how that went he's in denial that he's still a max player and he's not. If the Clippers thought he was they would have traded for him months ago and gave up Mann and probably Powell and a couple of first hell if the league thought he was it would have been a bidding war . Nobody thinks he is but Harden himself
What do you mean by “didn’t work out either CP3”? They almost eliminated the all time best team in nba history with KD and curry and lost because CP3 got injured. KD’s trade ruined part of all great players legacy and we shouldn’t overlook that variable.
Also, this just goes to show how impactful the Miami Heat were. Teams have been trying to replicate the superteam success formula for years since then.
@@Tetranodal what would adding the modern age do? Make your statement correct and mine not? Stop being a jerk. The fact is "super teams" are nothing new and if you wanted to be technical the Paul Pierce Celtics were the first modern superteam.
@@Urban_Paradise he did clarify modern era as it makes a huge difference in the argument. While it's true superteams aren't new, the "modern era" is one in which players get to plan , holdout and dictate where they want to go. The showtime lakers were a superteam but they were assembled naturally same with Bird and the celtics etc.
I am not too exited about this Harden addition but curious to see where it will go for my Clippers. I would replace Westbrook with some solid role players as well
Y’all cannot convince me that Russel Westbrook is the answer. He is a good player and he is going to do numbers on average, but we need players that have the mentality to win it all. Westbrook and Harden chokes up in the most important moments. Only two big stars I trust on the clippers is Leonard and PG. They just can’t stay healthy and do too much load management
@@KadooWilliamsENT it's been awhile since they really played a full season especially russ being traded a few times and lenard and George not being healthy I think the clippers is going to be good
Philly must be happy asf with the way Maxey playing they ain’t even get a guard back and made this trade fast asf that or the clippers wasn’t fw that jazz loss
Clips are even more doomed than before! What's terrifying about a starting five containing Russ, James, PG and Kawhi? How many of them are going to be on the floor next spring? I'm thinking maybe PG, maaaybe Russ, but would be very surprised to see either James or Kawhi on the floor after May 15, '24 (actually hope i'm wrong, but i have been paying attention).
How is this a good trade for the 76ers? They lost James Harden and PJ Tucker for picks and one starter caliber player in Nic Batum. Morris is out of the rotation and won't be playing in Philly, Covington is struggling for minutes for some time now, Martin is a good player and plays hard, but we will see how much minutes he will get in Philly. If the 76ers want to have any success going forward, get a new FO.
@@philippculture489 you replace two aging players one that wasn't even playing with a bunch of youth and depth. They even got a 1st round pick in this deal. Pretty much the best case given the situation.
Your logic (beginning @13:35) is impeccable. It's not a "great" setup but right now -- at this moment in time -- yes, this works for the Clippers. Within five years they may well be a lottery team, and then there will be a youth movement or they'll get a great young free agent entering his prime. (or maybe both??) The only thing I will add is that this is LOS ANGELES. You need star power to at least keep pace with the Lakers in the context of relevancy.
I don’t understand the Flippers had a great team that actually looked good this year. This move reeks of desperation, they are so dumb. Russ was playing very well for them with the ball in his hands. Now you take it out and possibly bench him for a quitter and a crybaby. They aren’t winning it all this year either injuries or drama will derail them smh
Houston native and Rockets fan. I wouldn’t trade a bag of bricks for Harden. It was completely classless how he left the Rockets and to hear about how much he partied, not taking things seriously makes me even angrier. There is a reason besides Chris Paul’s hamstring that he didn’t win a chip in Houston, he doesn’t have the work ethic. And now he’s only half the player he was on the rockets but still wants all that money. He’ll just handicap whatever team he’s on and not be able to keep grinding when things get tough. Harden folds with adversity. No killer or championship mentality so he can team hop all he wants but it still won’t bear fruit.
in a vacuum, this clippers team would actually be really good. but then when u factor in injuries, load management, player drama (harden), and ego this clippers team looks like an implosion waiting to happen.
No matter what. There will never ever be another Jordan. That man was just different, watching him play was unreal. The closest thing to Jordan has been Kobe. Kobe was different and awesome to watch play.
I feel like the clippers really didn't need James at all. Russ been playing good, they could've used a big if anything like a Dwight Howard off the bench could've been great. Hope he doesn't disrupt the team here as well 😑
You know what I hate about trades like this! Its starting to just look good on paper with these “Super Teams” but doesn’t live up to the hype. Like cmon the starting line up is gonna have arguably 4 HOF’rs. The accolades between the 4 are amazing. But we know how this story ends and it sucks
I hate when yall leave out all the crucial factors in those teams Harden played with. KD and Kyrie barely played while Harden carried them to the playoffs, Dwight was injured, CP3 was injured, Russ was injured and the rest of the team were actual scrubs especially in the playoffs.
I woud be surprised if Embiid goes anywhere. The 76ers got back all players on expiring contracts with this trade and also have a handful of first round picks that they can now use to go star-hunting, either leading up to the trade deadline, or during the offseason. I think Morey's goal is to find one more star level player to put alongside Embiid and Maxey. Whether that works or not remains to be seen.
What a dumb decision by the Clippers! What makes them think they're getting someone different than the guy who did his part in ruining the Rockets, Net and 76ers?? It probably doesn't matter anyway. Harden, Leonard and George will never be healthy at the same time, especially in the playoffs.
