NY Media: James Harden had more "intestinal fortitude" than Kevin Durant on the Nets

[duncanthetall]

Michael Kay is a big white doofus and I never listen to his show he’s nothing but a hack that asks loaded questions to guests but he’s on point

Kyrie is a fukkin snake and a walking ponzi scheme and KD is easily mislead..

If KD was a girl he would probably end up being trafficked that’s how mentally weak he is

A walking Ponzi scheme tho

 

[Joe Sixpack]

As a Harden hater I must say he was smarter than KD in getting out of BK early and not wasting any more time with Kyrie. How things went after he left only prove he was right

100%

Harden in his prime with Houston made me wanna vomit but he was right to get the fukk away from clown ass Kyrie

nikkas was in the locker room tryin conjure up spirits and talk to the dead fukk outta here Kylie

 

[Elim Garak]

Hasn't Durant made it clear in the past he's not a leader and doesn't want to be one?

 

[Gritsngravy]

For some reason I feel like they would have made it work with the Knicks.

Idk if it's because the BK Nets are still fairly new or that they are the junior franchise in the city, but it just felt like from the jump these cats didn't really respect the Nets franchise and lacked any emotional connection to it. Whereas the weight of playing on the Knicks and playing in the Garden every night would have kept them in check.

I kinda agree in the sense that the knicks probably would’ve did a better job making sure they worked
Even though I don’t like the way this nets tenure is looked at because Covid and injuries derailed them not the three stars
Again people forget kd went to a game 7 against the bucks by himself, and Celtics was just a better team last year

 

[who_better_than_me]

I wouldn’t do that deal either. Cam, Claxton and 4 first rounders for Siakim isn’t a deal that I would do. You better have a secondary deal for a center if you do that.

Where were the draft picks coming from
Houston have all of theirs to 2027?

No you don’t. You have pick swap rights but don’t have every single pick. They have this year’s pick, Philly’s pick from the Simmons deal and then the first round pick from Dallas in the Kyrie deal. They probably could’ve moved those some guys for a fourth pick. But essentially Toronto wanted every pick they had plus their young talent and Brooklyn was like this Nîgga isn’t AD.

Word I'm sure they could get DeAndre Jordan back without much resistance from Denver

Nets are happy going back to the little engine that could 2018 type vibes...

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Any white dude that uses the word “alpha” gets ignored by me.

KD literally got the to the ECF by himself the one season he was healthy enough to do so. This clown obviously doesn’t know shyt about Harden to know he would never do that especially now

 

[Dwight Howard]

When James Harden is the one who comes out saying them nikkas is goofy and unfocused, you have some major issues. KD’s inability to be THE leader goes back to his stint in OKC with Russ. He’s not that guy. Back to a ready made team like the mercenary he is in his heart of hearts

Yet they were the ones coming into the season ready to play while he was out of shape and his play was in question. The idea of there being "leaders" in basketball is dead. This ain't the nfl. Players lead by example, there aren't no enforcers going around checking other players and shyt, literally no one does that. No player has been able to check kyrie, No player has checked westbrook. Etc.

KD has never played in the ECF.

Why does a supposedly predominantly black forum give a f*ck about what Michael Kay says?

And that’s the point. If you can’t convince him then trade him. Kyrie should’ve been traded the second he wouldn’t get vaccinated but they didn’t because of KD.

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

It was a little over 3 and a half years. Dude signed with the Nets in June 2019 and was gone in February 2023. It wasn’t even 4 years. 5 years is such an exaggeration.

Plus he missed a season with the Achilles recovery

 

[RhodyRum]

Hasn't Durant made it clear in the past he's not a leader and doesn't want to be one?

If so he must be crappy at everything else not pertaining to hoops because he's a horrible follower as well.

It's one thing to be a non-leader / follower, but it's another thing to hitch your wagon to someone who's gonna lead you right off the cliff.

Comes off like a non-critical thinking simpleton in this entire affair.

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Well whatever the fukk it was it was more than what harden did.
