Yes. LeShrivel needs more help. A super team hasn't been enough the past two years.

You can’t win a championship with James Harden.

It would have to be something like Austin Reaves, whoever Philly thinks is the Lakers 4th best player, and 5 future firsts/pick swaps. It would get them ṭo the second round at the price of them having no discernable future. I hope they do it even though being in LA all they have to do to rebuild is create cap space and wait for 2 or 3 years.

You don't want him to domimate the ball like he has in the past but if your defense can cover for him he's an excellent offensive point guard or sixth man. He could still be a superstar of he gave a crap about conditioning.

I would offer that very trade for Embiid if he became available.

For Harden? Hellllll no.

Embiid, Davis and Lebron. At least they'll lead the league in missed games

That's not enough for Embiid. I wouldn't do that deal to get Harden either but LA may be desperate to capitalize on what could be James'last great year especially with AD aging so poorly. They either need a third star or great depth.

Should the Lakers go after Harden now?

Short answer: No

Long Answer: Hell no.

The only thing Harden can do is to be who he is, and he (an expensive defensive liability playing 37 mpg at the 1 or 2 spot) is not who the Lakers need.

a super duper team !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :oldlol:

Harden is one of the all time chokers in the post season.

I would pay him the minimum and get gate money for the season, then bench him for the playoffs.

You're arguing with yourself.
