- James Harden has quit on his third team in three years. Harden finally got his wish and was traded from the Philadelphia 76ers to the Los Angeles Clippers. Despite still being a very solid player, Harden has gained somewhat of a reputation in recent years. He has burned bridges in Houston, Brooklyn, and now Philadelphia, each time blaming the situation he was in for his lackluster performance. Now Harden finds himself in Los Angeles, with a Clippers team that has championship aspirations. But Harden can't and won't save the Los Angeles Clippers

Tony Allen made a great point about James Harden; he’s doesn’t do anything when he passes the ball to someone. All he does is stand there; he doesn’t cut; he doesn’t set picks; he never relocates after he passes the ball; he only moves with the ball. Because of this, it’s much more easier to neutralize Harden whenever the playoffs come around.
Hey, look at the bright side
Atleast Wesbrook's is no longer alone doing that stuff on the floor
He has a buddy now
He's like anti-Steph when the ball is out of his hands.
3 certainties in life: death, taxes and James Harden requesting a trade.
4th certainty in life: James Harden disappears in the playoffs
I give it a season or two before Harden requests another trade. It’s already his 3rd team since leaving Houston in 3 years.
Right after the Clippers get eliminated from the playoffs with Harden not bothering to show up for the games: "I'm demanding a trade"
You think it's gonna be a season or two? I'm giving it to the trade deadline
A season or two?!? You have high hopes I see
Yea but to be fair he was carrying the nets while Kyrie and Kd were both out. He was tweaking saying that he’s a system not a system player tho
I'll bet you $5000 he's still with the Clippers in 2 years unless they choose to get rid of him on their own.
Can’t wait to see what team he’s going to play for in 2024!
Harden is becoming the MVP of failed superteams.
Safe to say nobody won that Harden/Simmons trade. Everybody loses!!!
It feels like the clippers are going down the post 96 Rockets direction of aquiring old, expensive players. It didn't work then i doubt it'll work now.
Gonna be fun to watch no matter the outcome. It's probably gonna end terribly for the Clippers, but you never know.
As a long-time Clippers fan "probably gonna end terribly" is basically our motto. Hope for the best while simultaneously expecting the absolute worst.
this comment age like fastest fine wine ever
@@mh-rl4sz So far lol. It ain't looking good though.
There is no way James Harden positively impacts the Clippers long term. The only reason he's there is for a contract extension which Steve Ballmer would be crazy to give him since he's already putting out $1.2 billion for the Clippers new arena and potentially re-signing Kawhi and Paul George to supermax extensions as well. With Harden's playoff history, I don't see him being the X-factor for the Clippers going far this year, their best-case scenario is the conference finals. And Joel Embiid needs to demand a trade from the 76ers, because they've failed him.
Not sure y’all realize James harden can’t be extended. He automatically a free agent after this szn
Unpopular opinion but the 76ers are better now after this trade. Not saying they are going anywhere but I truly believe they’re more equipped to do it now than they were a year ago
@@JeffGonyo crazy opinion
Sixers are better with Harden
@@Geassmaster55 not really. all the guys they got are on expiring contracts which gives them a lot of cap flexibility to make moves for any superstars in the free agent market
@@Geassmaster55sixers are currently 4-1
Here after the clippers have gone 0-3 with Harden in 3 big losses
Never seen this channel before the editing is great. It’s quick enough to stimulate my TikTokified brain
Luka at 9 was crazy. Top 3 Fs
Not only will he not save them, he won’t even stay with them.
At this point, Harden is just gonna go the "easy way" to get a ring.
I know it’s been 1 week, but man, the Sixers faithful definitely ain’t missing Harden, while Clippers fans can’t do nothing but watch their team go 0-3 since the trade
Nico and Roco are light years better than PJ Tucker lol
But Nico is retiring at the end of the year and Ty Lue was too autistic to play Roco proper minutes
James Harden “I am the system” 😂😂😂😂 the last time I check his system didn't make him a NBA champion
cp3 getting hurt killed his chance so
A fully healthy clippers going into the post season beats any team not named GSW
Pffft
nah, Harden doesn't make you win a series against a good team.
Btw, Nuggets > GSW
If this is in the mid to late 2010's then sure, but now it's kinda hard to imagine it happening
gs aint better than the clippers 😂😂😂
@@mekacrab clippers dont sweat denver 😂 idc bout 2020 either
James, Russell, and PG will be remembered like Charles Barkley and Iverson. Great players but won’t win a chip ever
I think at least one of them will get one coming off the bench for some young good team .
The Black Ops Cold War lobby music in the intro never gets old
Predicting it rn! : "James way off!"
Here after new vid 😂 ngl I was doubting harden too 😅
It needs to be studied why the Western Conference is always so stacked. Like the West always looked to be strong with great competition almost always, while the strength of the East always fluctuate, with it’s peak maybe being the 90’s.
Players like warm weather thats it
This definitely Makes the clips a team to watch. However Load management is going to kill them even if they make the playoffs
I love you guys
The fact that this doesn't even feel like news or fresh revelation...
"i guess the picks" that was literally the point of the trade ape
“Harden won’t save the clippers” clippers are 4th in the west now😂
4 teams in 22 months lmfao
Would be nice to get Lakers Vs Clippers finally in the playoffs. Teams and Stars fully healthy
If we do, I bet it will be super anti-climactic. Something will go down akin to AD and Lebron injured, and Kawhi will for sure be injured. Maybe 5 games and the Clippers are knocked out by a bunch of role players.
@@laurocoman I''ll rephrase what I said then. Would be nice to get a HEALTHY Lakers Vs Clippers lol
@@MistahJay7 that WOULD be nice! Lol
@@laurocoman A man can dream lol
The fact now clippers 0-4 in harden era I think ur title it's quite true
Clips should do something in the winning category with harden
I will give it a year in a half only if the Clippers resign him to whatever deal before he requests a trade
For the Sixers it’s addition by subtraction. After the Ben Simmons shenanigans I think the entire city was jus over having another disgruntled star eating up headlines. Btw Korkmaz had himself a GAME last night. Bonafide shooter, I jus wish incompetent coaching didn’t stifle his growth. Dude passes every single eye test for what he does on the court.
Lob City Redux lmao . yall called it!
Russ is probably coming off the bench imo
This is a good team but tbh I couldn’t be less moved by a superstar trade, I think Nuggets & Suns still clear them
Suns are struggling right now. Nuggets are still the defending champ Nuggets.
Warriors are playing well, so I would say Warriors clear 'em.
I’m here after his first game and the clippers got crushed by the Knicks
This aged quite poorly
Embiid is not leaving Philly for NY or MIA. They’d have no players left with the haul Morey would ask for. With all the assets the Sixers have now they’re gonna make a nice trade or FA signing to make them competitive. Boston has an awesome starting 5 but no depth now, none.
Ya’ll thought that announcement was late? Try being on the East coast lol
Oh how were you wrong
2k23 clippers were like the old pistons signing old/injury prone past superstars eg ai and tmac
High risk move for the Clippers but they get their superstar team for the new stadium opening
It's always so weird hearing people talk about Embiid. They wanna say he does shit in the playoffs, like at 9:45, but also wanna say he hasn't had much help. You say he does awful, then go through how he hasn't had a stable co-star and how the sixers messed up terribly with Butler, okay. Wouldn't have an issue (for lack of a better term) with it, if that excuse wasn't used for other players. We hear excuses for other all stars or mvps that didnt have any help, so it doesn't really matter if they underperformed, cus who cares? Their team was bad. However, Embiid is somehow awful AND has no help at the same time?
I understand he doesn't play to his best in the playoffs, however, if you're gonna say he hasn't had much help, then obviously he's going to diminish in the playoffs if other teams are focusing their defenses around him, no?
Just food for thought
The clippers didn’t need saving before they got James Harden they didn’t need him
Poor Brick was playing well and now theres a chance hell come off the bench
PJ being better than any of the players the 6ers got is a wild reach
James has had 1 serious playoff injury what are we talkin bout
If they guy wanted his team as good as possible he would not trade for Harden he just wants it to look like they are good on paper when in reality there is no fit
Shaq played for 6 teams. The Clippers are Harden's 5th. We already are there with him! Lol
Paul George is currently cooking right now too
Saying he James didn’t play a lot of games is laughable. 79 out of 82 that’s almost every game. Also he may have some bad games in the playoffs but he lead the rockets every year almost by himself deep into the playoffs against a stacked warriors team
He meant total. He was traded there in Feb 2022. Still tho 82 isn't a bad #
I was right on that james harden trade will not help the Clippers it's a bad move by the team it will impact on their offensive and defensive end the 76ers got everything back in the trade L move by the clips
He's not there to be a saviour.
He's there to help.
Everything rests on Kawhi's Broad shoulders.
If he's healthy. Those 2x 40 points games he gave Embiid wasn't enough cos Embiid sucks in the postseason.
PG has yet to give Kawhi that but that's all he needs cos he can't keep going 100/100/100 to win games in the 4th quarter cos 70/60/89 wasn't enough like in 2021 playoffs.
I'm glad PG is our best player so far this season but we here for postseason. He better continue
we want him to be the playmaker top on assist top on scoring clutch in a entire PO even Lebron did'nt do this
Bad chemistry - that's my guess. Too many guys who need the ball in their hands.
Harden does nothing if he doesn't hold the ball. No defense. No moving without the ball. He gets stats. He doesn't move the needle.
What does this change? You are trying to beat the nuggets and they still didn’t address that. They had no shortage of scoring “I’m him” type guards. Now they match up worse than they originally did and got even smaller. That’s a panic trade, doesn’t make sense
Should’ve gone for a decent defensive/ rim running center that isn’t zubacs
My favorite team
Wrestling video at some capacity has to happen at some point
The clippers at number three? Seriously. This is like fantasy basketball. They’ve got lots of names but lots of problems. Age, ego, and injuries. To put them ahead of Golden State, Sacramento, the Lakers, wow. All because you added a disgruntled point guard who will be on his fourth team in three years? I suppose we’ll see.
Those guys all help this team more than PJ, as a Sixers fan, we could not stand to watch PJ pump fake every shot and miss the ones he took while running half speed anymore. He’s a good vet to have obviously, but Philly was full of slow, unathletic players including PJ. That “dog” he’s meant to be is very few and far between these days
The Harden slander is wild. 3 time scoring champ lead the league in assists. Brooklyn and Philly are both a mess they been mismanaging Embiid’s career since they drafted him. Are fans incapable of seeing how bad these organizations are?
If James wasn’t so selfish he would have been more popular. Like, sure he can hunt for rings at this point, but with his one dimensional style of play + his declining athleticism, no one will pick him up.
I think Kawhi, PG, Harden and Russ will look pretty good in the 6 games they'll play together.
If yall didn’t watch any Sixers game please don’t talk believe me im a fan of pj when he was on the Sixers but him being better than everyone in this trade is a crazy ass statement bro woukd pass up wide open shots and doc had to threaten him in the playoffs last season to shoot the ball or he was gonna get pulled out the game. And he was a starter bc he don’t have anyone that could play next to embiid really
Why are streets in LA so full? They are waiting for Harden to come.
In other news: water is wet.
This clown said he's not a system player, that he IS the system. The Harden system is proven to not win championships lol. Maybe he should try playing with the team instead of outside of it.
This playoff collapse bouta be epic 🙏🏿🙌🏿
At this point Harden is whoring himself out for attention. Never seen a player so insecure of himself as him.
When has Harden ever saved one of the many teams he's been on?
Embid to heat or clippers 🔥🔥🔥
Why do people act like harden give the celtics 40 twice
James "The Belly" Harden
Bulls mentioned🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️💯💯💯🗣️
Please I hope the Knicks trade Randle before Berrett
46K 4mo 60.6K subs
JAMES HARDEN, YOU ARE A HORNET
Clippers aren't scary either. They have three of the worst playoff performers in NBA history, namely Westbrick, Pandemic P and Haren
Poor Kawhi.
Jalen brown for Joel..
Celtics Clippers finals, if they're fully healthy
RoCo is so much better than PJ tucker and its not even close
Lezgoo Joel Embiid is heading to the Knicks next and the 76ers are starting, The process all over again 😂
as much as i want to see the clippers working, harden is way too selfish for it to turn out well i think
James Harden is a superstar?
Sympathy mvp joel
Clippers lowkey got a superteam
Bro is on a one year there is no bridge to burn😂 thats what people dont get, if he dont perform he doesnt get resigned simple
At this point James harden the virus 🦠😂😂😂❤ 0:23
#JamesSoften!!!
The hairline is demanding another trade.
Age liked milk lol
He's a worse exuse than the apartide state
Playoff Harden doesn't go hard
Water is wet 👨🏻🔬🔬🧫
just a bunch of haters
Y’all are the biggest casuals, pj is not better than roco,
Clippers Wont Save James Harden
I have no faith in harden. I hope he never gets a championship. Such a disgrace to the game
Terrance mann? From field of dreams? Harden is EXTREMELY overrated. Hes a decent shooter, but hes EXTREMELY lazy. Plays nearly 0 defense, especially the later into his career u go. He likes to dribble alot, used to be a goos passer, but i guess realized at some point he had a higher chance at making the shot than most teammats, so now he just pulls from about 45 deet out. The big one for him though, is the almost 0 defense. I'd taKe a jimmy butler over him, 10\10 times. Same w/Westbrook, he might get you some random points, but will NEVER truly step up to play solid D....mostly bc hes afraid of getting posteriZed as the tiny little boy that would get dunked on by the LeBrons\iguodalas of the world, so he doesn't even bither trying. They're both players that ALWAYS Wants to be the one shooting, but NEVER the one sacrifiing ANYTHING for their team. Especially Westbrook, likes his little temper tantrums, and acting like a kid who jhst turned 17-18 and is veey petulant and complaining ALOT. He will NEVER admit hes the source of any problems, bc in his mind hes "awesome". They both get hurt alot, especially harden. I dont consider firing up 50 foot 3 pointers bc theyre easy, Westbrook might drive, but only bc its easy foer him. If he played defense, hed be pretty good. But he doesn't. Rus wants to parade around wearing female pants that show off his shaved legs or something, always trying to impress people with how eccentric he is or somethin, and I never was even slightly impressed by it. I cant understand why ANYONE ever would even care, much less be impressed by some douche wearing pink shirts to show people he doesnt care about looling feminine or somethin. Thats not why i or really any true man watches basketball 🏀....if anything its the OPPOSITE of the reason we watch. He likes to b***** and complain about calls that dont go his way, hes a CANCER in the locker room. If i were a coach, I'd literally keep my younger players on the opposite side of the locker room, and I would look for ways to humilate Russ, since he seems to try VERY hard to always "look cool" but to me, never EVER is. They're both only gonna give you random points. Probably about 20-25. You might get 40-45, but RARELY. You'll throw off your entire teams "dynamic" bc they both grind the game to a HALT, with their selfishness and typically taking the laziest shot possible. I can't emphasize enough, how devastating this is, to other teammates. Someone like KD wants the EXACT opposite teammate, role players who know THEIR role. Oddly enough scoring is probably the easiest part of basketball, nearly every player can handle that part--so even IF your shooting % were higher, it would still be meh to me. Getting teammats involved, is how teams win championships. That Toronto team, plenty of talent, but theyd be HAPPY to defer their shots, to kawhi, or whoever else. With KD's golden state team, they had enough talent ans good coaching
To basically just do whatever they wanted, but you'll notice teams that have Russ, or Harden, dont go too far in the playoffs, and they both, even COMBINED have 0 championship rings. Wanna guess WHY? Harden has even been an MVP, makes all-star team, but couldnt win it all...when lebron managed in CLEVELAND...outside of kyrie, didnt have that much talent around him. Not as much as harden has had at times, even with Paul George, or awhile back trying to get carmelo Anthony back into the game, cant be done. You cant just throw "scorers" onto a random team together, and expect to win it all. The truly elite teams, have role players, and stars who DONT care if they have to reduce their scoring numbers...thats why so many of these squads with 2 or even 3 stars, fail MISERABLY, sooo often. Yet Jordan and pippen, with role players around em...end up with like 6. One year they might be more defense minded, another they might have bill Cartwright and go more inside. Jordan had to get tougher after the detroit pistons days, they pick up Rodman, kinda the Ultimte role player, and BAM, they're damn near unstoppable. Truly great coaches, will get something out the Toni kukoc's, or Steve kerr's shooting or relatively decent defense for a smaller guy. Jordan knew it too, he couldve cared LESS about his amount of points, long as theyre winning. Kobe, same thing. Obsesed with WINNING, not scoring alot of points or making ESPNS top 10 plays. I dont have the respect for Russ or Harden, bc they just arent truly willing to sacrifice, for the TEAM to win. I've always liked paul George, especially fighting back from a horrific injury, and I believe him and someone like melo, BADLY want to win it all, but dont have the coaching or role players to truly get there, especially anyehere near 6 times. Theyve also changed the game SO much, that it barely resembles the jordan/pistons days where they stole Rodman. That man was DEDICATED. He mightve been crazy, but Jordan knew that would compliment his style, he was practically jordans bodyguard back in the day. Literally NOBODY messed with Jordan once they took rodman. He was great with pistons but ELITE with bulls. Dozens of plays where he dives onto floor, risks his body for just possesion of the ball, not even for points. Now you can't even put a hand up to "check" better players, so u end up watching Russ, harden, Damian Lillard firing up 57 foot 3 pointers from half court. Thats nice and all, but unless its a game winner, or Dame bein the VERY rare exception that can actually make those type of shots regularly, it doesnt TRULY help your team. It might pad your stats, maybe even a buzzer beater from time to time, but u aint winning no Championships without solid coaching, solid defense, and solid role players. Take away any of those 3 main parts of the game, you get left with "good teams" that simply cannot win it all. This is why Jordan, still to this day, respects Rodman, even more than pippen, after pippen started runnin his mouth especially. I loved scottie pippen back in the day, hes still probably the most famous person ive ever met in RL in Bahamas running all over the place with his girlfriend and bodyguard--he got voted to the greatest 50 players of all time I remember it from awhile back, but Rodman to me was just as important, maybe more. I truly would take rodman over Russ or Harden, for almost ANY Team. You can get simple scoring from almost ANY NBA athlete, but you RARELY get 100% defense effort and the absolute dedication of rodman. And when you got the literal best player of all time, giving you compliments, after 6 championships, I dont see how anyone could ever deny it. THAT'S a true game changer in my opinion. You keep Harden n Westbrook, but I'd take Rodman
No shit?
