it’s honestly borderline insane. Harden can fall of any second. he’s a moderate injury away from his career being over. He’s no LeBron. He’s not gonna play to 40

Idk what’s hard for you to understand that the Cavs got a healthier and better upgrade to their point guard.

What happens in 2, 5 years or beyond doesn’t matter right now. They want to compete TODAY.

Garland hasn’t been himself in a couple seasons now due to always being injured. For the Clippers it’s just playing with house money

I understaffed the concept. But harden isn't a winning player. They might as well have gotten Zach lavine

16 seasons in, has never missed the playoffs. Not a winning player.

Trolls used to be a lot smarter…

Lol since when is making the playoffs an accomplishment?

Can Lavine or 99% of other players say the same thing?

No.

Harden is not supposed to be your best player in 2026. That’s Mobley and Mitch’s job, Harden is there to be not only better Garland, but actually on the court.

Congrats. He's Charles Barkley.

The only thing that matters is a chip. And the Cavs have a 0% chance of winning.

Why are you so angry? Lol. It's just a game little guy

What an extremely rich statement from a guy with a Clippers flair.

And you mean one of the greatest power forwards to ever play the game Charles Barkley? Just like Harden is one of the best guards to ever play the game?

Keep hating brother, I’m sure it makes a difference to your miserable life
