I don't think anyone wants to give James Harden a max contract at this point.

Someone might, but no one should

And it's justified, to be honest.

Playoff teams know he's not worth it in the playoffs.

Rebuilding teams don't want to overpay for someone who isn't going to be part of their future in the long run.

I can’t blame them. I don’t think he’d be a good fit anyway

The rockets need a vet that can stabilize the team and show the young guys the ropes. Unfortunately i dont think Harden would be a good example.

No it's going to quickly become one of the worst contracts in the league. Can't give out money based on "legacy." Which is why I fully expect my Sixers to do just that.

He's a great player but he shows up for like half the time in the postseason and he's just getting older. Max isn't in the cards anymore
