The Official James Harden Thread

Would you be willing to trade 2 or all three of our picks just to get him?
Or do you think our lottery pick and.. Nazr or somebody, would be enough to get it done?

I would trade all 3 of our picks and Nazr lol.

I would totally trade all of our picks to land him. If we could add in Nazzy or Gana as well then that would just be gravy.

Then I would look to buy back into the late 1st/early 2nd if need be.

No doubt

The good thing is, some of the teams at the bottom would love to have 3 picks and pick up a lot of young talent if they're dropping higher salary guys. Make it happen Mike!

At this point dropping Nazr with one of the picks is addition by subtraction, is it not?

I'm all for it...

I'm all for it if we have to trade Felton to move up and get Harden than DO IT!!! He could play the point at times too.

Surprise, surprise (to some I guess?). Now that Ford has actually watched Harden in person he's saying that Harden is a lot more explosive, athletic and long than people had been giving him credit for.

Some people have questions about his size and athletic ability: I wouldn't be at all surprised if Harden puts up something like a 34" standing and 39" max vert and turns some heads at the predraft combine while measuresing out at around 6'4 1/2" without and 6'5 1/2" with shoes with a nice, long wing span of around 6'9" and standing reach of around 8'8".

So far I am looking genius.

He measured in today with:
w/o shoes:6'4"
w shoes: 6'5 1/4"
wing span: 6'10 3/4"
standing reach: 8'7 1/2"

Just wait until his jump results are made public...........

I've gotta give you a +1 for that, that's awesome

edit: it won't let me, sorry man. But when I can, I will

fixed


I remember way back in the regular season we were talking about his deceptive athleticism and I've been telling people he's way more athletic and bigger than people give him credit for. Nobody thinks he's going to be good because he doesn't have any size.

I stand firm that they're going to be surprised

I estimated he would be:
w/o shoes:6'4 1/2"
w shoes: 6'5 1/2"
wing span: 6'9"
Standing reach: 8'8"
No step vert: 34"
Max vert: 39"

w shoes: 6'5 1/4"
wing span: 6'10 3/4"
Standing reach: 8'7 1/2"
No step vert: 31.5"
Max vert: 37"

He also knocked out 17 reps on the bench press!
