:dwillhuh:Yes .thats when you judge him a max player playing as good as a sixth man on a team ??? That's a bad look for joe Johnson

I was talking about Harden, not Joe. If you didn't know what Joe made you wouldn't be as harsh on him. Your contract should only be a point of criticism if you're not good. Joe's been an all-star for six straight years. It's not Joe's fault he gets paid as if he should be ballin like Durant. Joe in his own right is really good still.

As for Harden, you got people saying top 3 SG, better than Joe, etc., but who would be saying this if Harden was massively overpaid? If he was massively overpaid (which he will), those same people would call him a bum, just like they do Joe.

Let me just point out a few teams that I wanna keep an eye on:

Cavs: my squad. Nice young core.

Nuggets: will be a fun squad to watch. My sleeper pick.

Kings: Cousins & Robinson are gonna be a legit frontcourt duo for them. Can Tyreke Evans return to his rookie season form?

:rudy: this guy doesn't know what he's talking about . Were teams doubling jsmooth and JJ all year? JJ is underrated but he's also not a allnba player and he's used to isoball now we should believe he's ready to be ray Allen ? I'll believe it when I see it

:mindblown: How is he not All NBA? He been it once and got votes most of the time as well.

Iso Joe was and is retarded but the Hawks didn't have many options. The Nets do. That's the biggest difference.

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

Harden is still growing as a player. He's good but not very good yet.

I hate seeing Dallas ahead of us when they only have 1 position in which they're better than us and that's starting PF which really isn't much of a gap between Lee and Dirk if you compare their stats from last year.

Proven he is, but he's surrounded by mediocrity. If he can make Brand,Marion,Collison and Mayo better as a collective than Bogut,Lee, Barnes Thompson,Curry then dude is beyond proven.

So you think GS is gonna be better than the Mavs :laff:

To keep it 100%, Joe was a great catch & shoot player in Phoenix (the last time he played with a quality point guard). Granted that was many years ago

Let me set this joe johnson shyt straght.

Dude is paid like a number 1 option and he is not a number one option. Hes not even going to be the number one option on this team. He doesn't have to be the primary playmaker, scorer AND shooter like he did in ATL. Now he can play off the ball with Dwill or vice versa and isolate when necessary/called upon, post up, get open shots.

Dude is a top 3-5 SG in this league. Hes a perfect compliment to dwill in the backcourt because they both can play off each other and not get in each others way. He'll be fine in BK.
