James Harden Turns Down 52 million Extension, Wants Max

[Lefty Gunz]

James Harden is one overrated mutha fukka

 

[phillycavsfan]

who do he think he is?

One of the 30 best players in the NBA. Which he is.

 

[PortCityProphet]

at any fool team that gives that nikka the max.

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

He played himself out of some money with that weak ass Finals performance.

 

[seemorecizzy]

dude isnt close to being a max player

 

[OneManGang]

One of the 30 best players in the NBA. Which he is.

So basically not worth the max?

 

[seemorecizzy]

One of the 30 best players in the NBA. Which he is.

even if he is (id have to do my homework)

only like 8-10 players in da nba are worthy of max contracts

and james harden isnt one of em

 

[Urahara_Kisuke]

I read the title and went, "WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT."

Guess he's planning on bouncing back from that weak ass Finals performance. But this also means you can guarantee that he's not going to be on the Thunder in the future. Less money, sixth man < max money, starter.

They did unearth some rare footage of him that series though.......

 

[So-Chi]

He's comin to the Bulls....amnesty Boozer, murk Rip. Now THAT'S "Boozer and shooters"

 

[FTBS]

That's pretty audacious considering that Finals he just had. It's time to acknowledge that max contacts need to be eliminated. It gives nikkas good/not great nikkas a number to shoot for that they have no business shooting for. If your team hesitates in offering you the max, you don't deserve the max. $52 for 4 years is too much honestly.

 

[Youhadasparkwhenustarted]

James is getting that max from someone, smh. he's about to be overpaid and overrated subsequently.

In theory. We're dealing with reality. There's far more than 8-10 max contracts out there.

 

[dem bath salts]

Some bum ass team is going to give it him. I dont blame him tho, I just wouldn't want my squad giving him the max. Dude is a piece, not the guy.

 

[Thegospel]

Philly is so overrated lately. The fukk?

Eliminating max contracts would just inflate salaries everywhere. There's no easy way out. It's all in how teams view Harden, and even if he's not truly worth the max, it's a matter of how much extra you wanna pay to get him out of OKC.
