The fact that Clippers havent won a game yet with James and the 76ers are thriving w/o him makes it that much more hilarious
as much as a i dont like harden as a player he is not the reason why they havent won a game with him yet that whole narrative is so dumb
@@jasiribandele5601 No... he is exactly the reason why they haven't won a game yet. The clippers have been awful since they acquired him.
@@stephenyip2814 Like did he not even watch the video?
Just gonna throw in my 2 cents y’all. I’ve defended James harden ALOT. I’ve never even been a fan of the teams he was on, but I liked him.. but I can’t defend him anymore y’all. There’s trends and patterns with him. Clippers were 3-1 before acquiring him. They were looking like a top 3 threat in the west with the lakers and nuggets before the trade. Now I can confidently say they have zero shot at a chip. Unless they get depth, or find a way to make it work. Clippers are toast. I understand they gave up depth, but they did it specifically for him. Investment not paying off.
@@tylergary5953lakers dont look like a top3 threat at all this season lol
Him saying he's the system is CRAZY.
Meme time 😂
That was fall time.
That's like the cocky interview response in 2K
They should really consider moving harden to the second unit. His slow pace halfcourt play style does not mesh with two ball dominant players. He’s better suited changing the pace of the offense coming off the bench. As opposed to Westbrook who pushes the ball.
He wont sign with them again if they bench him
@@ryomensukuna457That’s the point
@@sr_aron good point
Gm would have the coach's neck though. Org is paying too much to have THE PROBLEM come off the bench.
Second unit, as in the G-League?
As a Clippers fan, this is going exactly as I expected.
not a Clipper fan but i can’t believe Clippers really went through with the trade in the first place. The slow pace Harden brings is the exact reason they got Russ for
@@briansue8605superteams just aint working
Y’all gonna be fine. It’ll just take time. (ima Laker fan)
fellow clipper fan here, I was laughing at the sixers for thinking the clippers will pull off this trade.
worst Halloween of my life
Took me out 💀 😂😂😂
James IS trying to win a chip. He knew if he got himself traded
, that the Sixers have a better chance of winning a title and he'd still get a ring because he was on the roster to start the season
Morey will ship it from China and it will get "lost" in transit.
@@PeteringYT 🤭😆🤣🤣🤣
I know you're joking but in case you're wondering, that's not how it works. There's a larger min games played to be met
nigga your even more delusional than harden🤣
@@ApolloCalrissian no its up to the team whether or not he gets it
Nasty work putting Russ in the thumbnail like he wasn't the engine of this team at the start of the season
Fr I thought the vid was about to trash Russ but ever since last season he was the motor of that team
Ik I might look biased cuz of my pfp but it does feel like swish has a weird… vendetta for Russ. I see him give these unjust criticisms for Westbrook, like blaming him for losing when he was on the rockets even though it was cuz dantoni was obsessed with small ball, iirc he said Westbrook was a major reason why the wizards were the way they were in 2021, and a bunch of other stuff. Which is weird cuz he usually brings up sound points
James Harden refused to be the highest paid player in Nba history for this..Let that sink in.
Huge mistake. Shouldve taken that rockets extension or the nets one
Your kidding really? No way 😮
Wait…. From what team
?
That man delayed to get a bigger bag down the road … that wasn’t the team interest he had in mind, it was his own…. Now it backfired on him
@@tommartyn524Houston offered him a 2 year 103 million and the nets offered him a 3 year 161 million and picked up at 2 year 68 million from Philly.
The funny thing is his fans always said the same thing a few years ago "He doesnt play defense/off ball offense because he HAS to carry the team". Yet he does the same shit when he doesnt have to carry the offense anymore 😂
Yea just embarrassing excuses from him. Unfortunate for the clippers making that move. Should just cut him from the team if he doesn't come off the bench. Gotta get rid of a bad investment early
He literally turned CP3 into a spot up shooter because anytime CP3 got to cook with the ball he would just stand 40 feet away and make them play 4 on 5. And Harden fans STILL acted like he was doing everything he could, so I accepted it that Harden fans are as delusional as he is LOL
Exactly. You can clearly see how tainted the nba game is. A player who lacks some basic fundamentals once dominantes and still gets great stats. He doesn’t play real basketball. Can’t catch and shoot, doesn’t move, doesn’t play defense.
Lmao that's never even been a good excuse. I can't believe people said that about him 😂
Definitely appreciate 2 way players more, as takes more effort and energy.
When he was at his peak, he abused flopping to an UNFORGIVABLE degree. Seeing his stock falling the way it is just brings a smile to my face.
Yup, nobody seems to bring this up anymore. He is an absolute FRAUD, always was
Yep, same here. Always been a Harden hater even when he was winning scoring titles and MVPs in Houston because it was so frustrating seeing him foul bait on almost every possetion. The 3 step travel step back has always been ridiculous. That little head whip flop he did pissed the fuck out of me every time. Seeing his pathetic downfall brings a lot joy to me. I celebrate my teams wins but I celebrate Harden's failures even harder.
also a locker room cancer on every team he’s been on. Kobe was right
I don’t even like James but being happy cuz someone is failing makes y’all some pathetic sad losers
Fuckin hate harden im glad everyone is now seeing him how i did. A no defense flopping abuser
Jordan, Kobe, LeBron, Steph, and Duncan, to name s few, are Hall of Fame caliber players with multiple championships. THEY ALL PLAYED IN SYSTEMS. The only year Hardin went to the finals he played in a system and was the SIXTH MAN and he still didn't show up. Kobe said his style won't win.
when did he play in da finals ?

The rockets were really close when they had Chris Paul, even up 3-2 against gsw with Durant. so i think this statement is an exaggeration. Since Paul left Houston he hasnt really been close although the Nets run looked promising until the injuries derailed them.
That “I am a system” quote was the perfect quote I needed to enjoy the devolution of the Clippers. I feel sorry a little cause on paper this should work, but there’s not a single consistent dominant player on that team who’s a star
What on earth makes you think this works on paper?
@@evan6711 4 of the best players this generation on one team. Again on paper, not taking chemistry in account
I feel really bad for Westbrook. Man got himself into two awfully unfitting situations in Houston and then with the Lakers, somehow managed to escape those situations and went to a team where the fit was good and he was playing very well, albeit no one really believed in them bc of injuries, and now this... Poor Russ...
Houston Rockets were by far the best possible fit Russ could ever have. All 3 and D guys, no real center, and one additional ball dominant scoring guard with him to take pressure of him. Westbrook had insane stats in his Rockets season. Lakers were terrible fit yes, clippers were a good fit, at first.
I disagree. I don't think Russ' game could ever work with another player who's as ball dominant as him. But you got a point, his numbers were very good at Houston up to a certain point. Then they got to the playoffs and were just too small to have a chance. I really like Russ' game and that's why I feel frustrated because it looked like he had found himself with the Clippers, but now they're almost surely going down pretty bad. Unless Ty Lue can pull out some sort of miracle.
Oh stfu, dude can't play winning basketball and that's a fact.
Yeah those poor milionaires
Yeah i want Russ too have a ring he deserves it he always give a 110% .
I was so so happy for Russ, this hurts. I just don't get it, you already got a point guard and a player that can carry during the regular season if the stars get injured, he proved that last playoffs. I understand wanting to maximize your window but it feels like the thousand time a GM just throw all the chemestry and dept of his team for a star player, this is getting old.
Happy for Philly and extremely happy for Maxey
Sad for Russ
Dissapointed of James Harden but that has become the usual since he left Houston, it's sad seeing this man prime and how it's going now. But well, careful what you wish for~
Clippers are ran by delusional people who don't know how basketball works
Clippers had a full training camp to come up with a plan and get a feel of who they can be and want to be. They came out the gate hot, everyone healthy, and Westbrook looking born again. They're at square one now trying to figure out what no team or coach has accomplished: how best to use James Harden. The Western Conference is too stacked to give the Clippers breathing room to re-figure out who they are and what the plan is.
This is the thing that annoyed me the most, they were vibing in training camp. Had a few tough losses to early season but overall thought they competed hard. Roco in starting 5 helped defensively and bones was a good off bench change of pace. I was looking forward to see how rotation will set once Mann came back but then they did the trade. Annoys me so much
There is no plan with Harden, he cant be there and i still have no idea why they did this trade.
Adding Harden does nothing because at the end of the day, with or without Harden, they need PG and KL to be healthy to win a title. Harden does not change this, i think the removal of great depth does though.
The ONLY way i can see this working out (assuming pg and kl are healthy) is if they take a hard mpg stance with the starters and secondary and give Harden the second unit.
Badically, they have to do that 2K, imaginary bench everyone at once for the second unit, thing that we all envision but have never really seen.
LAC before Harden 3W 2L. Not great. I believe when LAC got Westbrook that LAC would not win a title.
LAC with an out of shape Harden, no wins. Now LAC will be lucky to make the playoffs.
Ballmer is the richest owner in the NBA. LAC could have gotten better players. But PG wanted Westbrook. And the 3 stars wanted Harden because they all grew up in California.
Russ and James have big egos. They both want to start. So there are 2 ball dominant guards on the court.
@@bb1111116 Russ is not the issue
@@JimBob-jr5up in terms of LAC winning a title, Russ is an obstacle. LAC needed a better player.
This is what Steve Balmer really meant by “La our way”
Thank you for confirming I'm not crazy. The James Harden system comment was the most self unaware thing I've ever seen in sports. Like I feel like people didn't freak out enough over this comment.
If the Clippers are below .500 at the all star break, and that big 4 has been relatively healthy, then I think Harden will be pulled out of the rotation entirely.
It’s so damn frustrating lol, Clippers focused all offseason on improving pace w/ Westbrook, increased cardio, etc. Their whole play style revolved around defense leading to transition points w/ Mann announced as the starter alongside WB, PG Kawhi & Zu. Roles were clearly defined, Norm could focus on scoring off bench, Bones clear cut backup pg w/ consistent minutes. Batum & Roco being lengthy floor spacers who didn’t demand shots - while also being glue guys who would hustle & take the pressure to defend other teams’ best players off of Kawhi & PG. Marcus Morris was no longer getting minutes, an adequate big was on the roster in Plumlee. Team identity was there, fit was relatively seamless.
The human element is being forgotten in this trade, PG and Kawhi both publicly supported WB joining the squad, Mann & Bones loved WB & the vibes he brought to the building. Lue came out publicly talking about how WB metaphorically saved the team w/ an increased emphasis on practice and being a vocal leader that the team lacked. Westbrook took a massive pay cut to stay in the city that publicly supported him and promised him a role as the starting PG.
Now front office & that over zealous doofus Ballmer effectively destroyed all progress that had been made since all star break of last season. You trade the 2 biggest glue guys on the team for Harden, who doesn’t bring a fast pace, doesn’t bring size, and doesn’t bring defense intensity into the equation. You relegate WB back to his Lakers role despite the financial sacrifice he made & the support he had from the team. Clippers are back to taking the regular season un-seriously as it will take 20-30 games to get SOMEWHAT close to effective team chemistry. Maybe by the end of the year we can get to 60% of what the team w/out Harden could’ve potentially been barring injuries.
Don't worry guys harden is the "system"
He was
system for losing
Garbage ass system lol
You want to know why Westbrook works well on the Clippers? Because he put his ego aside and does what the team needs from him. When he was on the Lakers, he did what Harden is doing now, refusing to accept the reality that he isn't the #1 or #2 option on the team anymore. Laker Russ literally sat out some games, fully-healthy, when the coach told him that he'll be coming off-the-bench. It's a hard pill to swallow and it was only after Russ accepted his new role that he started doing better on the Lakers and was at-times looking like a 6MOTY candidate. The mistake that Lue and the Clippers are doing is NOT humbling Harden. He still thinks he's the star of the team when he's not. Clippers already have their established stars with Kawhi and PG, Westbrook was humbled and is now all-in on helping the team in any role, now it's Harden's turn to put his ego aside. If he refuses, this Clippers team won't even make the play-in, just like the 2021-22 Lakers.
Now you know Jxmmy boutta drop a vid with more graphs and stats than a high school math class
Harden needs to run with the second unit and they need a better center that is a good roller or a spacer. Russ should play with kawhi and. Pg but he should also never play in the 4th quarter 🤷♂️ my sixers won
What the coach needs to do is set expectations. He needs to just let the game come to them, feel it out and everyone can get their touches. All of them can get 7 to 10 touches for 15 to 30 points plus FTs by passing the ball, cutting and screening for each other, etc.
Until they figure out who's coming off the bench, they will never figure it out. Because guys have to rest so not every guy can start consistently every night.
@@cheetah219good luck having Harden play any kind of off-ball which he hasn't in his entire career. Mf can't spot up a three to save his team's life
The Clippers literally saw how Brooklyn went, they killed their own team
ALLways a GREAT day when SWISH post.
Just one reminder here: Kawhi would at least have one more ring, at least 2 more finals appearances and at least 3 more East conferences finals appearances if he remainded in Toronto, just saying
Great video!! Subscribed 🙌🏼
Harden is physically finished, he lost his first step, and he doesnt want to play defense.
A real cancer for any team since he left Houston.
Facts
Finally, been patiently waiting for your take on this absolute disaster, Swish! 😃
We all seen this coming
Nearly two months removed and this trilogy of Harden videos is a textbook example of why you always need a bigger sample size before making big claims. I'll be the first to admit I didn't think the Clippers experiment would work, but there are a lot of claims in this video and a few others that just don't hold up now lol.
He’ll never admit it. The arrogance is crazy
Harden prob gon get left in the free agency market
been waiting for this video ngl
Right?😂 We all knew it was coming
I'm a simple man. I see harden and clipper slander, I click on the video
It was really considerate of Swish to upload this on my birthday. Nice to know you're thinking of me.
It’s so crazy the way he’s acted many are delighted in seeing his downfall, as a rockets fan I remember my friend telling me he’ll never win a championship & that was even before Kobe said it. I thought my friend was a hater but turns out he’s right
They didn't have a chance from the start they sit themselves for failure
Excellent commentary and analysis…
I hate it when players get cocky and arrogant like James has been, so it’s fun to see him lose. I feel bad for Russ though as he plays tough and hard every night. He’s one player that really deserves a ring, but he’s not gonna get it in LA.
James’s entitled demeanor has gotten a pass for years because he was productive (in the regular season) but after forcing his way out of multiple teams and laying an egg in playoff elim games he gets his comeuppance. Russ had his issues with turnovers and efficiency but to me he’s far more sympathetic because at least he works, tries, doesn’t frequent strip clive every chance he gets. Harden’s actually become contemptible to me at this point. Sure I don’t him personally but what kind of rationale justifies him being an arrogant jackass like he is rn? Some unresolved generational trauma??
Not as long as he's a Flipper.
He needs some datura
you should have included what the Mavs commentators said about James Harden.
The instrumentals in the back always make these videos hit!!!
They would have 2 first-line quality lineups that would kill other teams where there would be no break for the other team's bench. Have Westbrook on one line with either George or Khawi and the same thing for the other line with Harden, instead. Would be super tough to create constant line ups who could match with that never-ending attack from all-stars, I think.
You hit this right on the nail
Harden kinda reminds me of Iverson, he wants to be THE guy even though he’s not anymore and it’s just ruining his legacy
I didn't want Harden on the Clippers and i hated giving this man what he wanted.
Having seen it in action though, I'm sooooo happy. The contrast between Philly thriving vs Harden unable to adapt as third tier star is golden.
The added benefit is he has probably easily lost $100 million plus with his shenanigans. I dont care how rich you are. That would still hurt.
@swishout will you ever start a channel dedicated to covering the NFL? would love to hear your takes
Just like he said in the video, all he NEEDS are already in the Philly but he WANTS that money he doesn’t care about winning at all. Sucks to be a harden fan rn.
I’m a Harden fan but I can’t fault what you said in this vid… totally on point and it’s sad
As a clippers fan I was waiting for this video to happen
Great video. Do you think James being out of shape has anything to do with it?
james in Houston had a Nba rule working for him that made defenders could not defend him with the stepback 3 pointer.
or risk a defensive faul.
they changed that Rule and James never bin as good becuase defenders could defend him now without risking a defensive faul.
They lost so much size with this trade, which is an underrated aspect of the trade itself. I also think that the team chemistry will never work out. Russ finally was on a team that embraced him, and now he has to sacrifice more, even though he’s better than James harden right now
The title and video picture had me creasing for so long before I actually pressed play 😂
To be honest, any Pick n Roll floor general is the system. CP3, Steve Nash, Rondo, etc. The offense was all them off of that action. So as bad as it sounded coming out of his mouth, I understood what Harden meant, and it wasn’t that Harden was trying to say it in some narcissistic way. That being said, Harden had the best opportunity to be ‘the system’ in Philly. We have to remember though, the main reason Harden left was because of what happened between him and Morey. Everything Harden said was secondary issues that could have been worked out.
Westbrook and harden the best duo in the nba lol.
Good vid, you provided stats as well
This might be hands down the worst clippers trade in NBA history.
It's time to talk about Bam😤
Talk about bam what do you mean?
As a Lakers fan, this brings me joy
Fr but I feel sorry for Russ I thought he'd make a comeback this season
James Harden's nickname is no longer the beard.. now is the system 😂
russ being in this pic is wild cause he is actually good for the team
All the clippers needed this season was Kawhi and PG to be healthy. They already had a big 3 with them and Russ. Harden arriving has disrupted the flow of that team. They didn’t need Harden at all when Russ is already there doing the same thing as Harden would. The clippers were doing fine without Harden
Well said 🎯🏆🫡
This team if it was 2016>>>>>
well yeah, they win if they were in 2016, but we are not in 2016 anymore, they are all progressing and washed except pg13 and kawhi
russ, an on ball player who cant space the floor, could adjust to the role well, turning into a good defender, rebounder, and cutter for the team.
if harden, one of the best 3pt shooter in history, couldnt adjust to a simple catch and shoot and at least tries at defense, i dont know if any team would want him anymore
i agree that he had it made in philly and he didn’t take advantage of it nor did he seem to have that drive of wanting to accomplish anything in what seemed like a perfect situation for him
Harden just looks like a masochist to me at this point. He’s had so many chances in the league and now he’s basically done
clips at it again😂
Bones Hyland's minutes dipped because of James Harden and that really sucks since Ty Lue had to cater to him when Bones was playing so well
If he’s the system he’s a Magnavox Odyssey
Harden been on peoples nerves and I didnt always understand why. Now he joins one of my favorite teams, its all making sense
When Harden was traded to the Clippers everyone on social media was like "HoW dOeS tHiS tEaM nOt WiN a ChAmPiOnShIp" lol
I don’t know. 90% of comments I saw called this…unlike the dame move
Lol Rockets fan here, you tellin me things we already knew for years 😅😂
The Clippers traded away a lot of "glue guys." It shouldn't be a surprise that they are coming unglued. They have no body to do the dirty work.
id like to see james harden in Sacramento or in Portland, He'd fit really well with both teams, also they need his talent. ...i dont understand why harden wanted to leave the east?
Wdym early, Harden probably looking for a new team already 😂
James "The Dysfunctional System" Harden😂
Saying westbrook is bad at defense is genuinely hilarious
people saw that warriors team and been tryna do the same thing ever since the problem is the warriors had star talent plus cohesion a lot of these teams have star talent and redundancy
Harden chokes in the playoffs, but it's only 3 games in lol everyone chill.
"im a system" will go down as the greatest quote known to NBA fans liked forever.. his legacy will be remembered for this moment..
Harden's last chance at redemption really was with Philly. Everything was basically a nice fit for him but dude still turned on Daryl, who gave him plenty of chances since Houston.
“I’m not a system player, I’m a system” 😂😂😂
I laughed so hard when they lost to her Grizzlies at home 😂 4 Hofamers .
they clearly need another superstar
Cant wait to see how the system drops Nuggets tonight
A new Swishout vid? Time to put my plate in the microwave 😊
That dude going to be out the league in the next 3 years. MARK MY WORDS SEE YOU THEN
I made a video about a year ago about how Westbrook might be out of the league soon if he doesn't change his ways. I'm starting to think I should have actually made that about Harden 🤔
man got nerfed now that he cant score 90% of his shots from the free throw line
If they don’t get it together. Then they make the Thunder better with the picks. They gotta win
They need to just let one of them be "the guy" for 4 games. Figure out which one of them as the primary is the most efficient. And yes, that means they should come off the bench as well, some of them.
Nah the clippers up now
I kinda see this in the same light as when Russ was traded to LA. The Lakers didn't necessarily need Russ. They already had a good team shaped around LeBron and AD and had a system that works since everybody knows their role. Adding another player, especially a ball-dominant one, fucks that whole system up and now they gotta readjust their system. The clusterfuck at LA was about "How do we use Westbrook on a team that doesn't really fit him?" and they sucked for that whole 21-22 season. For the Clippers it seems even worse cuz Harden really is delusional and while Westbrook was also doing that on the Lakers, it was more of the case of Russ not knowing how to work with the Lakers versus Harden openly saying that he is a system and was boxed in before coming to the Clippers (This dude definitely hit the club before the interview).They ain't need the fuckery that Harden is gonna bring along but I guess it was Steve's business deal for selling more merch and stadium seats.
Also RIP Russ that man really found his groove just for Steve to be like "Yo I just got Harden who may be here to do the same shit you already got used to doing soooooooo figure something out🤷♂"
This is how you know your opinion is trashed, Russ is the point guard how isn’t he traditionally gonna be ball dominate if his providing the assists? Lakers traded for Russ as insurance if Bron and AD went down which they did and Russ had to play with role players on his team and was still competitive. The Lakers are the coaching staff with the last decision, Russ would play out of his mind for 3 quarters with his quick transition plays, but Darvin Ham would put him on the bench for the last quarter and see their lead evaporate and eventually lose, how’s he suppose to anything from the bench? I swear fans will bag a guy for playing his heart out but AD will constantly get injured as the star player and old ass Lebron still trying to be in the MVP conversation instead of letting the new generation thrive
the problem is that James Harden misses the Rocket’s system which was all about James Harden. But that doesn’t work so they moved on and he gets talked down on for not having a chip. He wants to win so he joins superstars but doesn’t know how to and can’t play team basketball.
This is like if someone came up to you and asked you if you willingly wanted cancer lol
What's not to get? He wanted to go to the place that could pay him the most amount of money. He believes the Clippers are going to pay him more than the Sixers.
Didn't the rockets and the nets offer him the highest paying contract ever? And he rejected them?? I don't like harden much, but it does seem like he's acc trying to win, he's just not that guy anymore
@@arvin9425he had a chance to win in Philly when they were up by 10 with 6 minutes left in game 6. What did he do from that that point through the final horn of game 7? He pulled one of the greatest Philly choke jobs (outside of the 2023 Philadelphia Phillies) I have ever witnessed. Turning the ball over, Shooting airballs, I thought he forgot how to play basketball.
Yes I know Embiid gets a lot of the blame too but Harden had the ball in his hands every possession down the floor
@@arvin9425the way I read it is that Harden regrets turning down the money in the past, like the 2 years 100 million that Houston offered, and that’s why now he’s trying to get every penny he can
It's not about that

Clippers need an upgrade in the power forward position. I also believe Harden needs to come otb.
they could’ve traded the same exact assets they traded for harden to get one too 🤦🏾♂️
