David Garcia+FollowHarden Playing GM? The Beard Recruited Beal to Clippers HimselfThis is fascinating. James Harden wasn’t just sitting back while the Clippers pursued Bradley Beal - he was actively recruiting him as “the key voice” in the process. According to reports, Harden sold Beal on the team’s depth and even had direct conversations with Beal’s agent, which is pretty unusual for a player to do. He basically pitched Beal on how the Clippers helped rehabilitate his own career after disappointing runs in Brooklyn and Philly. The basketball fit makes sense too. Harden had great chemistry with Norman Powell last season, dishing 114 assists to him. If Beal can fill that role, this could be the piece that puts the Clippers over the top after they pushed Denver to the limit in the playoffs. Do you think this shows Harden has evolved into more of a leader and team-builder, or is he just desperate to win a ring before his window closes? #Clippers #JamesHarden #BradleyBeal #NBA20Share
Brian Gaines+FollowWill OKC Repeat the Harden Mistake?Thunder fans, are we heading for déjà vu? Udonis Haslem just dropped some real talk on The OGs Show, warning OKC not to break up their young Big 3—SGA, J-Dub, and Chet—like they did with KD, Russ, and The Beard. With Shai possibly landing the NBA’s first $80M salary and big extensions looming, the front office faces a tough call: pay up or risk another superstar split. Can this core stay together and chase rings, or will history repeat itself? #ThunderUp #NBA #JamesHarden #Sports #Basketball00Share
