if the nets dont go after eric gordon this offseason, they will 100% offer Harden the max if he doesnt get an extension in OKC.

if he does extend in OKC though, good for him. we'll see because whoever his agent is knows he's worth a ton and a bigger role if he wants it

So true lol


I hope Rondo gets traded, so that every Celtics fan realizes how not good Rondo actually is

i wouldnt max him right now and i dont think he gets one right now.

What do you mean wouldn't max him right now? How many guys out there are scoring 17 PPG on excellent percentages, grabbing 4 boards a game, and dishing out 4 assists a game? Those numbers alone are impressive.

Then you take you take into account that he's 22 years old, comes off the bench and only plays 31 MPG, is the third wheel on his team and still gets his buckets, and will not only see a numbers increase with a minutes increase, but will see a numbers increase because he's simply going to keep getting better.

Harden is the future of the SG position along with a few other guys, he's going to be a 20+-5-5 guy for a long time and could do it as soon as next season given the right situation.

Harden comes off the bench and only plays 30 minutes for a reason, guys.

 

[Pugz]

cause thabo is better?

:skip:

 

[elcheato]

Yea, his efficient scoring isn't an accurate portrayal of his offensive ability. Scott Brooks knows what he's doing by playing him limited minutes and giving away the extra minutes to hustle guys.

-mexi logic

 

[Mexi]

so Scotty Brooks will play KD and Russ tons of minutes, but only plays the DPOY 26 minutes? don't you think he'd know how good he was?

 

[elcheato]

And that argument flies out the window when you find out Harden only plays 31 mpg and comes off the bench.

Kyrie only played 30 mpg this year, I guess Byron Scott knew something no one else knew, right?

Collison does a lot worthwhile
Ibaka can block a shot

G.O.A.T

 

[Elite]

What exactly does Collison do that makes it worth playing him 20 MPG? When you use his current stats and increase them to what they'd be at 30 MPG, they're still worse than Ibaka's even though Ibaka would be playing 3 less minutes.

Ibaka doesn't get in foul trouble that much and he's certainly not out of shape as to where he couldn't handle an increased workload.

You should be advocating Ibaka's freedom like you do Harden's mexi

Are you talking about Derron?

 

[Elite]

I don't think he spells it that way cheato

 

[.infamous]

Yall fuckers back off Harden and Ibaka...

 

[elcheato]

I don't think he spells it that way cheato

Well, however he spells it then.

 

[Mexi]

this argument transformed

originally it was Serge didnt deserve DPOY
not saying he sucks

Collison has one of the best +/- ratings in the league. Criticize playing him if you want, but it works.
