Burned Bridges, Hence PG Enters
Welcome to the story of the fake tale. One, franchise decides to draft a player and then trades him to a city that has no bright air conditioning like the United States East Coast. Then another enters the bright lights of Los Angeles, California, and tries to create an alliance of four elite players. Long behold, things never plot out. It is like the Pixar that appears in the beginning of every Disney featured production.
Players flop and so does Pixar but the underlying story is they retreat and never burn their bridges. In the case of now-Knicks star Mikael Bridges, he took the opposite path from Phoenix to Brooklyn and New York.
Just this offseason, the Knicks prioritized it officially that Bridges be a Knick alongside Villanova alum Jalen Brunson, Donte DiVincenzo, and Josh Hart. One could wonder where Leon Rose went from a sunk organization to potential. The Knicks have reclaimed relevancy once again along with the New York Rangers in Madison Square Garden.
Their 50-32 record spoke for itself last year and could it be accredited to Tom Thibodeau who once always received appraisal by media and those around the league coaching Derrick Rose and the Chicago Bulls. It is definitely a critical season in store next year but no reason to worry or doubt with the consideration of no burned bridges in mind.
That is Philadelphia’s main problem. They originally drafted Mikael Bridges with the 10th overall pick and failed miserably with the improper front-office personnel to reconsider an individual from the local Philadelphia area and inside the hearts of previously his mom’s daily working job at the box office but not anymore.
From Billy King to Elton Brand, and Daryl Morey there should be little confidence about the 76ers as compared to the Knicks. The 76ers have reportedly signed Paul George to a max contract but that does not strengthen the fact that New York took advantage of burned bridges while Philly demoted from TV-14 to PG rated content.

James Harden is Fooling Us According to Comedian
James Harden is fooling us. He has been fooling us from the jump.
Comedian Kevin Hart recently conceded in a sideline interview that Harden ultimately loves the city of Philadelphia and hinted at another season.
Well, if that is true. That might be stoic such as the whole look beneath his 10+ year old beard. Last year, Harden averaged 21 PT, 10 AST, and 6 total REB. He finished as one of the main leaders in AST and eventually crashed in PT when contributing to little than 45 in a Joel Embiidless postseason game vs. Boston.
Truth be told. Harden has been stoic. He has been leaving his options open, but in a good way, despite lashing out at Sixers general manager, Daryl Morey.
Morey has found solid pieces in the long run such as Tyrese Maxey who may be the one not fooling us.
Maxey has averaged more than 33 MIN per game and become a more consistent shooter. His charismatic, leading personality carves way to take the reigns of Philadelphia basketball eventually and become a better overall facilitator.
Harden has adjusted to that particular role but not the necessary commitment Philadelphia has been dreading for out of a superstar. Harden may of course come at a substantial price but that is because of playing mind wars with Morey and receiving an amusing payday.
