Bryant McFadden: “Should Danny Ainge have traded for James Harden? I heard the Rockets wanted Marcus Smart and Jaylen Brown for James Harden. If there is any truth to that do you think he should have made that trade?”
Antoine Walker: “I don’t think he should have made the trade. I like where they’re at with their two young stars – actually three – I put Marcus Smart… in there too…”
McFadden: “Wait, you’re saying he shouldn’t have made the trade??”
Walker: “No, I’m not a James Harden guy. You can’t win with that style. He’s in a very unique situation now with Durant and Kyrie, but I don’t think you can win with this style. Any time it takes a guy 6, 7, 8 dribbles to get where he has to go, that’s a problem. It works in this day of games because the floor is much bigger and it’s more of a pick-and-roll league, so he gets away with a lot of things now, but I would not leverage – not the Celtics or any other team – I would not leverage my future for James Harden, period.” (Full Segment Above)
