You're using his contract to make him look worse than what he is, which is unfair because on his own merit, he's still really good.

To the bolded: Harden sucked in the postseason, which is probably Joe's biggest criticism, yet we shouldn't dismiss what Harden does in the regular season, which isn't better than what Joe does. That is in essence what you said.

To many people use their heart and not their brains in these types of discussions.

Amare gets killed for his defense and rebounding. The contract is whatever because Amare's not a bum.

"For his money" the amount of players that actually live up to their contracts that aren't maxed out or rookie scale is very small.

Amare is a scorer who's still scoring :rudy: he never was a defender or rebounder like that ,and since the media hates the knicks he gets killed .JJ is what exactly ??

A really good player at a really thin position who happens to be a jack of all trades (scoring, rebounding, passing, shooting)

Him disappearing in games is his biggest downfall, but all in all he doesn't have an aspect of his game that is a liability. Amare never being a rebounder or defender is like that is why he gets shytted on.

What do consider a really good player ? Isn't James harden a really good player? He's overpaid and in a league with a cap to try to and ignore his money is ridiculous he's not worth the money ,so for the value he has and the way he handcuffs your payroll he better be more than a jack of all trades .
Amare gets shytted on for being a knick , only the Knicks would go from not being playoff teams for almost a decade to back to back appearances and get treated like they are losers

So when James Harden gets maxed out can I judge him the same way you judge Joe even though his game isn't gonna be any different?

Again, there aren't many basketball players worth the money.

Under the right circumstances, I could see the Lakers, Spurs, Thunder, or (under PERFECT circumstances for them) the Grizzlies or Clippers coming out of the West.

I can only see the Heat coming out of the East, and the Celtics as a darkhorse if (knock on wood) LeBron were to get injured.

I'm gonna predict a Heat-Lakers Finals but that's all gonna depend on how :flabbynsick: Steve Nash is going to look in a series against the Spurs/Thunder/Clippers.
