So what is Harden's story - he has not shown up at camp, correct ? Are the 76ers just looking for a decent trade at this point ?

Harden isn't insane like Kyrie, but he is just as much of a team cancer - always becomes unhappy with whatever team he is on and is a selfish jerk. Just leaves to go party in Vegas when he gets bored.

He didn't show for media day but he reported for training camp and has practiced with the team.

Early thoughts on the Sixers: Maxey looks better than I thought he would. They need to trade Harden as quickly as possible to limit the drama. Mann/Powell/Picks isn't terrible since LAC is the only team interested and I don't see that changing because of James' baggage+age.

[radiohead]

Are we gonna see the starters in the 2nd half?

[jpotter33]

KP is money from deep.

[Atzar]

Not much reason for this group to ever force the ball through a double team, let alone a triple team.  Trust each other and make the pass.

[jpotter33]

So, yeah, the Philly guards are eating up our bigs from three and the perimeter more generally.

[RJ87]

Hot take: is KP our second best player? I think he is...

Is the NBA requiring coaching uniforms for the head guy and his assistants this season ?

Harden showed up to Sixers camp on the 2nd day and then practiced with the team for the rest of camp.  He did not cause any distraction.  The Sixers would clearly prefer to keep Harden unless they get a lot better offer than they have so far.

Which begs the question, should Al come of the bench and let Jrue start?

Yeah, Maxey looks great. It's a bit exaggerated without Embiid and us giving him plenty of looks with our double big lineup, but yeah give him the keys. We'll see if he can also distribute the ball and not just score, too.

Listening to JJ Reddick is like listening to a wine moms podcast.

[coco]

JT is so streaky

[jpotter33]

Yeah, just don't see the double big lineup logic, particularly without Embiid out there or even as a Giannis matchup. The single big lineup just seems to be so much better for our roster.
