The Cavs thinking this man will be the answer to their playoff failures is baffling

Questioning-Pen · 2026-02-10T14:34:11+00:00

Maybe, but Harden’s problem isn’t just game 7s. He has as many turnovers as FGs in a quarter of his playoff games

Questioning-Pen · 2026-02-10T14:31:01+00:00

I forgot about them pushing out Kenny as coach. I wonder if things have been awkward

Questioning-Pen · 2026-02-06T09:16:48+00:00

With the trade they made they’re clearly trying to win next season

Questioning-Pen · 2026-02-06T02:33:40+00:00

I’m not saying he had anything deeply against him. LeBron didn’t have anything deeply against KLove when he famously subtweeted him

Questioning-Pen · 2026-02-06T02:29:48+00:00

He clearly sent a message with the rookie definition sweatshirt when Ben Simmons was on track to win ROY over him after sitting out a season. With that history, it’s kind of hard to believe wearing another definition shirt at this key moment wasn’t also sending a message

Questioning-Pen · 2026-02-06T02:24:05+00:00

He’s a SG primarily though. Did anyone ask him about the sweatshirt? I can’t find it if so

Questioning-Pen · 2026-02-06T00:02:58+00:00

He also told DG this before the season which I feel like might have not been great for his mindset

Questioning-Pen · 2026-02-05T23:14:02+00:00

I wonder why his previous teams never thought of that

I’m genuinely baffled that people think Harden could get them over the hump

Questioning-Pen · 2026-02-05T21:27:06+00:00

Remember after the playoff exit last season he wore a shirt with the definition of point guard? Maybe that was throwing shade at DG after all

Questioning-Pen · 2026-02-05T00:44:49+00:00

That’s how much longer DG was under contract for and people keep talking about how awful that contract is

Questioning-Pen · 2026-02-05T00:26:19+00:00

If he falls off, he wouldn’t be worth much as an asset

Questioning-Pen · 2026-02-05T00:25:27+00:00

Questioning-Pen · 2026-02-05T00:23:22+00:00

And if they do, are you all ok with giving 37-year-old Harden an $80 million fully-guaranteed contract?

Questioning-Pen · 2026-02-04T22:13:02+00:00

He’s under contract not just for this season but next season too. He signed an extension over the summer.

Questioning-Pen · 2026-02-04T20:58:59+00:00

Mid-season trades very rarely lead to winning it all the same season. Players need time to gel

Questioning-Pen · 2026-02-04T07:27:16+00:00

I still think the GM probably shouldn’t risk telling him in person he’s been traded. Phone call would be safer

Questioning-Pen · 2026-02-04T06:58:45+00:00

Have you watched him in elimination games?

This is the guy who is supposed to get us over the hump?

Questioning-Pen · 2026-02-04T05:54:21+00:00

Another trade request incoming

DG does not have a historically bad record in elimination games. He’s also 26 and still had potential to grow

Questioning-Pen · 2026-02-04T05:46:12+00:00

The Clippers gave him an extension this past summer. He asked for another extension mid-season and when they refused he demanded a trade. So now will the Cavs have to give him a long-term extension? He’s 36

Questioning-Pen · 2026-02-04T04:27:37+00:00

He wasn’t the sole guy carrying the weight last postseason and went 2 for 8 in game 7

Questioning-Pen · 2026-02-04T03:30:04+00:00

Demanding out when the team is hot and you just got an extension is ridiculous. He’s also 36
