James Harden

How do you guys feel about James Harden? I think he's one of the more talented players in the league.....OKC for the WIN!!!

I'm tired of everybody riding on LeBron and Kobe's piece, I appreciate what Harden does for my team....

Jarmes Harden is the truth. Love the beard, the athleticism and the outside shot. Badass kid.

Harden yes. OKC no.

The answer to your question is 1) network 2) get involved 3) beef up your resume 4) repeat -happypantsmcgee WSO is not your personal search function.
 

Love Harden and big fan of OKC.

Shame that they wont bet anywhere this season but I expect them to be back. Surprised that Scotty Brooks didnt make a few more adjustments in the game in terms of rotation but minor gripe.

Love the team and its direction.

Harden is much better than I anticipated. It seems like the only thing holding him back was Jeff Green. Perhaps a bit passive sometimes but solid player. Hopefully becomes Ginoblli 2.0

 

Too bad OKC won't have the money to keep him long term. He'll command big money on the market.

I dont think so. Judging from how you hear he loves the team, city, teammates, etc...he might be willing to take $7m a year. No one is throwing the max at him, most I see him going for is $9m.

There is no way he gets just $7M. Everybody at ESPN keeps saying this guy is starting SG material. He reminds me a lot like John Salmons who gets about $8M a year or a Kevin Martin who gets $11M; I think that's the range in his mkt.

And as far as a hometown discount, are you kidding me? The guy's 22, not 32. Guys who take discounts are usually further in their career or make a shit load of money per year, so what's another mil or so? (I'd take $10M over $11M to stay in Miami than go to Cleveland)
