Clev window is now.
Garland toe is an issue now. He is younger, Clips thinking ahead.
Harden seen as a better fit with Spida.
they are retooling for a run, Yes, be afraid. Folks might not like Harden but he plays defense when needed, won't have to carry the load in playoffs like when younger.
Harden and Spida combo does not really scream "good fit" to me, but could be wrong.

James is a bit of an enigma. He has proven more durable than one would have thought the last two seaons.
He is avg 25pts per game. High volume.
Good fit? Curious if his effeciency would go up as the "off guard". He is going to get good looks. at 6'5 he can also play some wing depending on match ups. Put a playmaker like Schroeder with spida and Harden on the wing might not yield much defense, but offensively thats a problem. I think its a better fit than with Garland.
If this trade goes thru its no guarantee but its a good retool mid season and if healthy could be a problem.
Would I want the Knicks to trade for Harden? Definitely not and like two times not on Sunday. So if the Cavs want to trade for him , great 👍 Harden is a real pleasure to beat. Especially in the playoffs.Its not like they are trading for a two way player like OG. Let them have Harden and let Harden take up like a quarter of their cap. You will not see me complaining
We all know this is true and strangely very appropriate for Harden.
Cavs are talking to everyone!
Harden’s bi-annual trade event

We need Harden like we need Porzingis. Which is like Bill Gates needing a new STD.

Read somewhere they are worried Spider doesn’t pick up his player option or sign an extension. Get ready for all the DM trade speculation next season. Next season is his last under team control
A healthy Harden not worn down is more dangerous than Garlands toes.
They turn Allen/Ball (still short) into AD and they healthy (whole notion a stretch) this is a problem.
Harden is still balling. Davis is a mess but woudl be motivated mess. Personally I don't see half this shit going down. You give it this year and next then you trade Spida.
The volocity in the age of parity is astonishing, Detroit in two years became a very very good team.
That Harden wants out bother me? I could care less but I still respect his output and what that can do in the east. He is not in our wheelhouse to be a knick so thats a moot point.
Nobody said this was going to be a cake walk to the finals. We all hoped Knicks would have put distance between themselves and the rest of the pack. We on pace to win 54-55 games. Not shabby mind you. Long way to go. Detroit got wire to wire without a hiccup? Injuries?
We done with ours? So far our injuries been nominal.

Scathing and true. He is the problem. And as long as he puts up numbers he can pull out his rolodex and teams will hire him!
Don't believe me? Its his history, but also complicit are the teams that trade for him and resign him.
His numbers? He putting up 25 a game, and now in last 2.5 seasons not missing many games at all. Im not advocating for him but fans are appalled this guy gets as much as he does. Yes, he is wrong. He is a villian. We also learned CP3 is a total dick and perhaps while Harden was wrong about many things, getting along with this guy was not one of them. They were very effective togetgher when healthy. Very. Problem was they were not in the playoffs.
Fuck Harden. All good as long as he is not a knick. If that were to happen I guess we'd just have to deal with it!
Yeah I don't understand any of this
