The idea of Harden and Wall as a back court is much more appealing to watch then Harden and Lin. Beal would’ve been a nice fit in OKC as well, not to mention, he’s a lot younger than what they go in return in Kevin Martin. Only time will tell if this is a good non deal for the Wizards. For there sake, I hope so, be nice to see them do well after all these years of sucking

hmmm…maybe a 6th man isn’t worth a max contract to a team that won’t be a playoff contender anytime real soon. my bobcats suck, but i’m glad they didn’t make a deal to try to get a guy like harden, who might help them win an extra 8 or 9 games this year. i say good non-move by the wizards.

If wizards had harden they would be so much better off especially when John wall comes back

It had nothing to do with economics, and everything to do with incompetence.

Finances were not the issue for the Wizards. Stupidity was, is, and probably will continue to be their main issue.

Is it possible that the trade did not go through because Harden would not agree to the same extension he signed with Houston?

Yeah. Who wants a star like Harden when you can keep Beal and hope he becomes one in a few years? Harden is only 23 and he’s already a star, on the verge of being a superstar. No one knows what Beal’s ceiling is. Another dumb move by a sorry franchise.

I don’t know why this is so hard to believe. I don’t think Harden was worth it either.

If you feel the need too comment about it, then their is probally some truth too it Ted. Whatever your LAME A$$ reason is for not trading for Harden is, why don’t you try too explain re-signing Ernie too a new contract???????

But the part about questioning the reporting itself seems silly, otherwise, why bother to respond at all?
