But his performance is also crucial because the Sixers chose not to trade him. Once his contract expires, and if he does not produce good statistics, he won't be able to secure a good contract with a team that might interest him. In short, his market value will drop. Let's just see how the season will go. At least for now, the Sixers' headache has eased a bit, as Harden is already participating in practice.

Maybe I am wrong, but it seems to me that any player will lose market value if he changes teams every season and acts like Simmons did earlier or like Harden this offseason. Who knows, maybe Harden will purposely misbehave both on and off the court during the upcoming season, and the 76ers will have no choice but to trade him. Of course, it's unlikely that will happen, though I wouldn't be surprised by it.

Not really because the market price of player depends on how he plays and what achievements he gets in each season because even though he moves from team to team being able to play competitively and make big contribution to the team will be really needed by other teams who and from here he will remain player with fairly high or stable price.

Simmons and Harden are actually two quite great players but some people may not really like them but it seems like these two players experienced decline in market value after officially moving or swapping teams last season.
It just that when has selling price low on the market it possible that the team will never sell him.

Finally the time has come, the NBA is back with the preseason starting off with the Timberwolfes facing the Mavs tonight in Abu Dhabi.

As a Dirk Nowitzki fan even now I still have a place in my heart for Dallas.
Hopefully Kyrie and Luka built some chemistry over the short offseason break that Luka had and can finally who what this dynamic duo is capable of.

Nur sure if we see both tonight, I saw conflicting reports with some sites saying they will play and others saying that Dallas might take it slow on Luka since he still has some minor issues with injuries.
But whatever happens, let's hope for a fine game tonight. I will switch from NBA preseason to Euroleague offcasionally though as this kicks off tonight as well. Grin

The case could be worst than the Ben Simmons drama though, at least Ben keep quiet like Harden is going on the public and telling what he doesn't like with the 76ers. So yes, I also wouldn't be surprised if we still attends the first day training camp and then disappear because he doesn't want to play with them anymore and no one can stop him from wanting to get out of the 76ers.

So this drama will drag the 76ers once more, after getting Joel his 1st MVP as a 76ers, now they are into this messed again and it doesn't look good for the franchise at the start of the season. If they could released Harden, then they should do it so that they won't be affected mentally.

I'm glad the Warriors kept Kuminga. Though he wasn't very useful last playoffs, I still believe in this player as the athleticism is already there. He just needs to mature more and play with great chemistry with the team. He's a young talent that they can develop. Hopefully, he won't act like Poole once he improves his play.

Well, losing Draymond, although temporarily, is really huge, but there's still time for him to come back.

I'm sure the Warriors won't struggle too much.

Yes, I think the Warriors can adjust without Draymond in the early part of the next season, they have recently acquired Dario Saric. So this is a big test for him to somewhat be in the position that Draymond used.

As for Kuminga, him and Andrew Wiggins should take part of the PF to SF position. Either can have a night wherein they are going to be the biggest contributor in Warriors offense. And Kuminga is very athletic indeed that's why the Warriors chooses to still be in team as he can improved a lot and not just like Poole who complains a lot and seems the be the fame gets into his head last season.

I don't know why GSW didn't sign Howard this season and now they will force Klay to play power forward. They will risk Klay's health by making him a power forward (We all know that Klay had a ruptured right Achilles) and for sure this will be a hard time for Klay.

It's possible they can make the playoffs again this year, but they will likely exit in the first or 2nd round once more.

They have Kuminga and Wiggins, and Klay didn't play power forward position as a Warriors. So I'm not really sure why you said that he will play that? Kerr is known to inject good adjustments in the game. And so with Green out for a at least a month, he could already have device a plan already with Dario Saric playing the PF/Center position.

It's too early to predict who is going to enter and who is going to exit, we haven't started the season yet. Just because Green is injured and won't be back for a month or shall we say 5 weeks means that they will exit the 2nd round or even not go to the playoffs.

His contract will expire next season, so it's unlikely that he will be traded. What Harden did is just a sign of professionalism; he is under contract and needs to honor it by playing. Aside from a possible lawsuit, the amount he won't earn next season if he doesn't play is $35,640,000, which is a substantial sum.

Just so we know, he's went to the training camp, played some drills, and even his coach said that he's good.

Quote

James Harden made his return to the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday for training camp. He went through most of the drills. His new coach said he “looked good.”

I know, I know that he still wants to get traded, but he might realize in the next few weeks that no team wants him anymore. I hope nobody is a fan of die-hard fan of Harden here, and will say that "Yes there will be a team that wants him blah blah" because nobody wants him. He forced his way out of Houston, he also forced his way out of Brooklyn, now he's doing the same with Philly, and other teams knew this already. Add also the fact that he's on his last year of his contract, other team might lose him for nothing in return because he will already be a free agent after this season.

Harden left with no choice, but to play with the Sixers, or his value will decrease significantly. I hope he's attitude must change. Yes, he has been a big piece on Embiid's MVP, but if he will not change his attitude, he might be out of the league sooner than we expect. Attitude matters in the league, and we know that.

With this, I guess the Sixers have won the battle. Now, the 76ers are complete, and it's guaranteed that they will reach the playoffs. I'm happy with this development as I was expecting that we would again see a scenario like Simmons in the past where he sat out the entire season while waiting to get traded. Harden is still a superstar; it's just that maybe there's a need for the Sixers to improve, probably a good second unit is necessary as I find them struggling, especially when Embiid is sitting.

And it will be just odd if we see a image of video of James Harden though, just going back to the motions of going in the camp but didn't talk to his team mates or coach. Because it will be similar to Ben Simmons 2 years ago. If we will remember, there are video's of him in the training camp with his phones and just shows no interest whatsoever to train at all because he wanted to get out of the 76ers team that time and after wards he was traded to the Brooklyn Nets.

Quote from: Questat on October 04, 2023, 10:54:39 PM

He was vocal about his intention not to play with the team anymore. Now that he is back, hopefully, that will not affect his performance. He needs to stay professional and forget about the conflict with the top management. He is a pro; he should act like one.

I think there's more to it though. This is just the start and there could be more coming as I'm not that confident that Harden suddenly changes his heart and wanted to go back to the team after what he has said to the public specially against the owners.

Draymond Green improves ball movement on the court, so not having him early in the season might not give them a good start as expected. The good news is that they have CP3, who is known for his playmaking; he can certainly fill the loss of Draymond. With new players who have helped improve their interior defense, I think the Warriors will be okay.

I also agree, Warriors will adjust and with CP3 who are known to be a good ball facilitator, we will be able to him calling the play
and execute whatever the design from coach Kerr.

Not having Draymond for the first few games will give Warriors that chance to mix players and find that good combinations that will help
them winning the game, too early to conclude if what will be the impact of not having Draymond.

Might be possible that it will lead them to create that good combinations and bring that competitiveness to everyone whoever is inside the court.

Olympics a big topic at NBA media days as Kevin Durant, more stars show interest after pledges from LeBron James, Stephen Curry

Quote

When NBA teams across the league gathered for media day on Monday, there was an outpouring of public commitments to the United States for the upcoming Paris games. Last month, Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James was reportedly recruiting other stars to join him on the national team — and it seems he has a 100% success rate.

Revenge.
But don't they want the young guys who played in FIBA to get their own revenge? I mean, they must be willing to play again and show the world that what happened in FIBA is not yet their full strength.
Superstars are now committing to play in the Paris Olympics. First, it was Kevin Durant who said it, then Steph Curry, but I do believe their roster in FIBA is already strong and they have the speed. All they need is the experience that I think they received after that loss against Germany in the semi-final and one more against Canada for the bronze medal.
We might see some conflict if those young guys also want to be back and avenge themselves now that many superstars are suggesting they want to play.
More players are also saying they're available at that time.

Quote

Suns guards Devin Booker and Bradley Beal, Celtics forward Jaylen Brown, Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo and Clippers star Kawhi Leonard were also among the leading Americans who used Monday to publicly express their availability next summer.

I really do not have any idea how people are making weird things look cool or acceptable. Some things are just not acceptable across the board. Just like a white person saying the N word is not going to be accepted around the world anywhere, some fashions are just not acceptable by people in the whole world. If a man wears a dress, and says he's a woman, it is not going to be acceptable in any logic based society.

I feel like I am going off track. Anyway, this was definitely weird to see. But as you said, this might actually be something which players do to Collab with some fashion brands and also increase the popularity of both the brand and themselves. But they definitely end up doing some stupid things like this.

In the case of Jimmy Butler, I don't see any relation to a brand or anyone promoting their product through Butler. What I saw is that he just tried to catch the attention of NBA fans, and he succeeded. Aside from being one of the best players (though underrated), Jimmy has a sense of humor, trying to make the league chill out a bit before the season starts. And look, we are talking about James Harden, and the event was well noticed.

This will pass; the real battle will start soon, and I believe that the Miami Heat is well-prepared, although they missed out on getting Lillard, whom they wanted. Lillard expressed his interest as well but ended up playing with the Heat's rival.

Jimmy just trying to be Jimmy, give the man the spotlight.

Jimmy Butler was 100% joking with his haircut and outfit. It’s hardcore trolling to say otherwise…

Looks like the tea is coming out on why James Harden is so mad. When he went in for his contract negotiations they were going to offer him a max deal, but Harden expressed interest in winning the scoring title, at which point the max deal was then never offered and they let him know that isn’t the direction the team wants to go. So Harden is holding out because he wants to average 30 a game.

Sounds about right. And if that's true that's the last serious team he will be on. What contender is going to want someone who will sacrifice a game for his stats. And vice versa if he is on a rebuilding team why would you want a ball hog who will slow down development of the team. Dude should have just kept his head down.

What's wrong with Butler? If I'm not mistaken, he's had a normal style throughout his NBA career, especially when he was with the Bulls. But in recent seasons, there's something wrong with him because he's been dramatically experimenting with changing his hairstyle. Is it because of the losses in the finals series?
Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if Butler looked like Cousin Itt from the Addams Family next season. Grin

I believe he is doing it now like a tradition since last year is hilarious and everybody loves his shot. I was skeptical at first seeing his picture on the leaderboard stats last year which I thought there’s just a mistake now it confirms that he is just trolling his photo shoot.

This might be his tradition now just like Westbrook before which showing off during his weird sense of fashion. I thought he is from the my chemical romance the first time I saw his pics on social media without reading the caption. Cheesy

Whatever his intention, he succeeded in gaining the attention of the fans because of his hairstyle, reminiscent of Rihanna's. Anyway, that media day is good as it gives us a thrill and a feeling that the NBA will be back soon. The Heat did not make significant changes to their lineup; they'll remain underrated, but this team is still one to watch.

Of course, we were excited about the moves of the Bucks, as Lillard was supposed to be going to the Heat, yet it didn't happen. Also, regarding Boston, they made a major move by adding two star players to the roster, namely Holiday and Porzingis, so let's see how their chemistry will blend.

I really do not have any idea how people are making weird things look cool or acceptable. Some things are just not acceptable across the board. Just like a white person saying the N word is not going to be accepted around the world anywhere, some fashions are just not acceptable by people in the whole world.

But as you said, this might actually be something which players do to Collab with some fashion brands and also increase the popularity of both the brand and themselves. But they definitely end up doing some stupid things like this.

I mean, it isn’t like he was cross dressing. He was just dressed in an emo style which he repeatedly had to say to the media. It’s an obvious joke and after the popularity of his dreadlock extensions last year you had to know this was coming. I’m sure this will be a staple in his career going forward as everyone seems to enjoy it.

Honestly, I don't think he's joking. Jimmy Butler was of course on the Chicago Bulls when he was drafted, so being a Bulls fan of course I got to know the guy a bit...he's an odd ball no question about it. He had a bit of an attitude problem and was just always sort of "different".

That being said my god thats an awful haircut lol

What's wrong with Butler? If I'm not mistaken, he's had a normal style throughout his NBA career, especially when he was with the Bulls. But in recent seasons, there's something wrong with him because he's been dramatically experimenting with changing his hairstyle. Is it because of the losses in the finals series?
Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if Butler looked like Cousin Itt from the Addams Family next season. Grin

I believe he is doing it now like a tradition since last year is hilarious and everybody loves his shot. I was skeptical at first seeing his picture on the leaderboard stats last year which I thought there’s just a mistake now it confirms that he is just trolling his photo shoot.

This might be his tradition now just like Westbrook before which showing off during his weird sense of fashion. I thought he is from the my chemical romance the first time I saw his pics on social media without reading the caption. Cheesy

Whatever his intention, he succeeded in gaining the attention of the fans because of his hairstyle, reminiscent of Rihanna's. Anyway, that media day is good as it gives us a thrill and a feeling that the NBA will be back soon. The Heat did not make significant changes to their lineup; they'll remain underrated, but this team is still one to watch.

Of course, we were excited about the moves of the Bucks, as Lillard was supposed to be going to the Heat, yet it didn't happen. Also, regarding Boston, they made a major move by adding two star players to the roster, namely Holiday and Porzingis, so let's see how their chemistry will blend.

I really do not have any idea how people are making weird things look cool or acceptable. Some things are just not acceptable across the board. Just like a white person saying the N word is not going to be accepted around the world anywhere, some fashions are just not acceptable by people in the whole world. If a man wears a dress, and says he's a woman, it is not going to be acceptable in any logic based society.

I feel like I am going off track. Anyway, this was definitely weird to see. But as you said, this might actually be something which players do to Collab with some fashion brands and also increase the popularity of both the brand and themselves. But they definitely end up doing some stupid things like this.

I mean, it isn’t like he was cross dressing. He was just dressed in an emo style which he repeatedly had to say to the media. It’s an obvious joke and after the popularity of his dreadlock extensions last year you had to know this was coming. I’m sure this will be a staple in his career going forward as everyone seems to enjoy it.
