Harden will be back and posting his ridiculous 40 point triple double lines on high efficiency within the month. He already showed he could do that earlier this month while 25 pounds overweight and he was trying to get traded. He will have to cut the usage down a bit but he’s got a likely top 10 player in NBA history Kevin Durant on his team to carry the load.
The only real concern with that team for me is Kyrie’s mental state. I’m not convinced he cares at all about basketball anymore and that probably won’t change regardless of any Harden trade. If he plays, though, that team is essentially unstoppable offensively.

You can make the argument for Simmons maybe, but not Russillo he gives no ****s who wins anymore.
And Simmons will put his stuff aside for objective basketball analysis. He’s quick to say the Lakers are the best team in the league, LBJ is the best in the league, AD is filthy and they’re the team to beat.
The problem with your argument is they presented good basketball analysis, not fan schlock.
Like I said. It can work. But a lot has to go right.
As far as Kyrie, who the hell knows. I’d take 50/50 odds on him being done forever.
