Joel Embiid talks about James Harden and the chemistry class they’re about to share, and I mention (again) why I find the MVP discussion so off-base lately, at @TheAthletic

James Harden on his motivation as he joins the @Philadelphia 76ers:
“I’m turnt, man. I’m excited… I’m a competitor. I’m willing to do whatever it takes to bring a championship to the 76ers and Philly. That’s the main reason I’m here honestly. We’ve got a great opportunity ahead of us.” – 3:09 PM

James Harden on @Tyrese Maxey, from Harden’s first day as a 76er:
“You love that young, turnt energy that he has… He’s getting more comfortable. He’s being ultra-aggressive. He’s making the right reads. I can’t wait to have that pace. I feel like we can compliment each other.” – 12:26 PM

Spent a chunk of All-Star Weekend surveying players about the Harden-Simmons trade, and how it could impact an already-tight playoff race in the East.

But seriously… fun All-Star Game! Steph hit 16 threes, LeBron made a tough game-winner, Embiid and Giannis gave a shit, Ja did some stuff, the target score thing worked, the NBA75 halftime was great, and Luka jogged around in honor of James Harden. Two thumbs up. – 11:02 PM

More on this storyline
Marc Stein: James Harden says at his introductory press conference had landing in Philadelphia was his “first choice” last season when Houston dealt him to Brooklyn instead. -via Twitter @TheSteinLine / February 15, 2022
Based on conversations with Brooklyn figures and those close to Durant, it’s clear the Harden blockbuster trade for Ben Simmons wouldn’t have occurred without Durant’s blessing. As more and more Nets personnel faced the reality approaching the trade deadline that Harden wanted out, Durant’s approval mattered more than anyone else’s. “KD didn’t want to get rid of James,” one person familiar with the two superstars said. “But he knew it was over.” -via Bleacher Report / February 15, 2022
“Kevin was like: ‘F–k it. James isn’t bringing s–t,” another figure with knowledge of Brooklyn added. “I don’t think that would have happened without Kevin making that decision.” -via Bleacher Report / February 15, 2022
