Pat called Jimmy the best player on the team and said they won’t consider trading him. But he called him out for the one thing fans spend the entire season complaining about and now everyone feels bad all of a sudden

Kids gather round and let me tell you about a guy named James Harden. Jim Harden is what I used to call him. Played with KD, Russ, Dwight, Chris Paul, Russ again, KD again, Kyrie, Embiid, Kawhi (kinda) and Paul George.

This is nothing new. There’s no rebuild. There’s no plan to win. It’s just a constant reshuffling of cheap players. Any success they have will be purely accidental and in spite of the people who put the team together. It’s as defunct as a professional organization can get.
Since the arrival of Peter Bendix, the
#Marlins
never approached Luis Arráez to discuss a contract extension. Both parties went to arbitration. The team got off to a really bad start. This was expected, but maybe not this early. The rebuild is on.
