Except Harden is better, is 5 years younger and has the best beard ever.

Harden has a great beard and is younger but isnt better. Amazingly his defense was so atrocious that he made Anthony a plus defender in comparison.

They would no doubt trade Harden for Anthony if it meant getting James too.

Younger is about it. If you asked every GM which they would rather have Anthony would be unanimous choice.

That's not true. You can have Harden for 10yrs or Melo for 4.

How many GM's expect to be around in 10 years?

If your Phil and its a money grab, I mean they paid Phil 50 million and have no real chance to win in the next 3-5 years. So if your Phil you trade Melo for Harden w/out hesitation.

I have always been kind of a closet Philly fan. I have a Sixers fitted. Loved Iverson and really started getting into NBA betting when I caught Philly moneyline game 1 vs the Lakers in the finals...Call it a redboard but I destroyed that game, I was way young and thought I was rich and lost most of it back... Anyway the point is with the picks they have had the last 2 years I believe its been 2 of the worst drafts EVER. They have basically put there entire franchise into Noel and Embid. I think its insane. Last night I take Exum at 3, then Randall, McDermott or the kid from Indiana.... Whoever slipped to me at 10. Horrible 2 years of drafting from them.

They drafted the rookie of the year last year. I'd say that wouldn't qualify it as one of the worst drafts ever.

While taking Noel and Embiid is risky they have huge upsides. Noel may never be anything more than a rim protector and rebounder and defensive player but those guys are valued in the league. Embiid is a huge risk but Exum is too condiering that there is very little actual game coverage of him against real competition and the other guys listed are likely just guys. They get Saric who potentially is a star next year or the year after, they also get back another #1 pick in 2017. So basically they got the draft and stash guy they were looking for AND recover draft picks. They obviously want to be big players in next years lottery and are seemingly looking at 2016 to start the push. Yeah it is gonna be another bad year but if they can get all these guys on the court relatively healthy in the near future there might be a real contender in there.

They can win quickly. And Phil got 60 million. Believe me he isnt looking 5 years down the road.
