Silver hopes he can get through the whole season again while this is going on.
Harden is getting star treatment fo sho. He’s about to get traded and they want to make/keep him marketable. The last 20 years of nba has been allowing the creation temporary villains. They’ve taken it too far more than once. Iverson for instance. Lebron was a much better job.
Harden is too much of an asshole to be a good temporary villain.
Harden makes it too clear that he’s in it for the money and winning is something he’d probably like. Most folks would. But he’s not ready to do the ‘sacrificing’ stuff that so many sports documentaries tell us about championship folks doing. And he’s absurdly miscast as any kind of pillar of the league type figure. He’s not right for the criticism. And he’s not...look, he’s just not it. He’s an ultra magnus ass ball player. And he’s damn near announcing it with how he’s carried himself the last few years. So the nba is gonna protect him as much as he will allow them to.
Me? If I’m the Rox, I shelve him AD style until I get him gone. And I don’t announce it. I just do it.
