The prophecy finally came to pass.Season gets underway in just over three weeks.
EA Sports have done an NBA Live 09 season preview with Lakers and Heat making the finals and Lakers champions.
i sincerely hope he doesn't come here...that would probably mean we lose murray, would hugely prefer him to a prima donna like harden...So Windhorst is saying the Harden sweepstakes final three are the Nets, 76ers and Nuggz.
I mean, I think the guy is unfairly **** on but I don't see the fit for him here. I love the style of play we have and the culture we've developed and he is the absolute antithesis of it.
Not sure the standard of the Denver night-life will be up to stuff for him either.
Sony?And oh my god there is no TV deal for the NBA in India in place. Only way to watch it is on League Pass
Some other talking head (can't remember who) said impeccable sauces told him Toronto and Boston are the front runners for Harden. Siakam and Jaylen Brown supposedly the trade chips on offer.So Windhorst is saying the Harden sweepstakes final three are the Nets, 76ers and Nuggz.

Harden is a bad fit for pretty much every team. Whoever ends up trading for him (IMO, Philly) will need to completely change the way they set up and play. If he goes to Brooklyn it's gonna be a hell of a lot of "your turn, my turn" going on. Could still work well enough to win it all with those three, though.he would be a really bad fit for both teams...what are they thinking?!
if he goes to the nets, is there a trade scenario where houston doesn't get irving?Harden is a bad fit for pretty much every team.

having some difficulty seeing houston accepting dinwiddie, levert and allen + picks for harden...so yeah a simmons + change <--> harden swap sounds more possible...and you are right, if harden ends up alongside durant and irving, the sheer talent alone may make up for any lack of depth while chasing a ring...There's no way they'd trade either of Irving or Durant.
All this talk about Siakam and Jaylen Brown etc is bull**** afaic, perpetuated by agents and front office people to try to drive up the price. There's only two places he's likely to end up IMO, Brooklyn (for a Dinwiddie, LeVert, Allen + as many picks as they want kinda package) or Philly (with a Simmons package) which is why I think he'll go to Philly.
one article said they are considering michael porter jr + miscellaneous for harden...?!So a Nuggets insider seems to think Harden has 5 suitors right now but Houston has no leverage so they are all lowballing them big time.
Literally everyone is taking the piss out of Houston right now.
Yeah, Murray is off the table. Would be a riot if Houston is that desperate, although I still don't want him in Denver.one article said they are considering michael porter jr + miscellaneous for harden...?!
