MDA just transformed Harden in a MVP canidate

This is my gut feeling but that last game of playoffs left me with the impression that Harden didn't enjoy playing MDA basketball.

But it worked already with Harden asst the point... now they are Gonna make cp3 the point? Harden needs the ball. Cp3 absolutely needs the ball.... just doesn't make sense

Harden has played off the ball before, I think Paul is going to have to make the biggest adjustment. Honestly, I see it similar to Cleveland with Kryie and Lebron but with more tempo.

Wasn't there a different story about Harden being linked to some hit job? I thought that was his distraction

Yeah that Moses Malone jr. thing maybe but that was way before though.

Makes no sense if Harden is thinking like this. Did not hear SAS talk about it, but I find it had to believe this is true...

...But it is a player's league.

Oh ... Einstein has crawled back out of the woodwork? Now that precious Melo is calling the shots again. Feeling good about the future? Three ring circus is back in town. 44 WINS and first round exits and "win now" are coming up.


Can't fix stupid.

MDA coach of the year, Harden has MVP type season and they want him out?

Many factors to look at...but it would seem that if you keep Melo you have to cater to Melo. This is what Jackson did with the Rose/Lee/Noah acquisitions. They are players for today...not tomorrow, and Melo was the thought behind Phil bringing them to NY.

If Noah is healthy and the player from a few years ago, maybe this would have worked out, but a team looking toward the future would not have picked up Noah and Rose, especially since we gave up Lopez, a blue collar guy in the middle who seemed to thrive in the Triangle, even if he was not the best passer in the world.

Lopez, KP, Willy, and KOQ would have been one of the better frontline groups in the league, IMO, and Lopez had a very good contract, looking at things now.

Looking at a Teague...giving him a significant contract in terms of years, would be another concession to Melo, and the need to build a team around him, and not KP.

Exactly the complete disaster scenario. We would lose our young core and end up with over the hill injured "stars" that are looking to use the Knicks as an ATM machine. Lots of first round exits and very little else coming our way.

Reports I have heard are that Mills wanted to move on from Melo. It might be wise to wait and see what happens. Also, Teague would be much better for KP's development then Rose. If Ujifi is in place I would expect smart management to be the rule.

bullsh!t

Harden's stats have improved every year since he has been with the Rockets and has been considered a top 5-7 player for years. MDA had nothing to do with that.

lunacy. IF you dont think Harden has benefitted greatly from MDA's style of play you have your head in the sand. That is different from saying MDA is great or a transformer of players. However he has most certainly 100% raised the production and play of several guys who have played for him. Nash and Harden took big upticks. Hell so did Duhon and Felton.
newyorknewyork @ 6/28/2017 3:32 PM
From Mike Eaves. Paul lost faith in Doc since he felt that he cared more about his done than improving the team. Said Austin didnt get along with teammates and clear favoritism was shown toward him. The last straw was Doc turning down a deal for Melo and Sasha for Austin, Crawford, Pierce. (Dont know if any picks were included but probably).

One phone so can't really provide link. Probably could find more info if you looked up Mikes Eaves name with CP3 or Austin Rivers

LOL - Please check with the last 4 people that tried to move on from Melo. This innane hypocrisy that someone other than Melo is calling the shots is ridiculous.

Dolan calls the shots. If he hires Uriji, you think Melo is calling the shots? You think Melo told Dolan he wants a metrics expert GM?
