‘All he’s gonna do’ – NBA fans think Cleveland Cavaliers will regret $97 million James Harden move

The Cleveland Cavaliers have given James Harden a new 3-year deal, and a lot of fans on social media think it’s not going to be worth it. The Cleveland Cavaliers proved this week just how committed they are to their current roster and vision.

‘All he’s gonna do’ – NBA fans think Cleveland Cavaliers will regret $97 million James Harden move

Cleveland Cavaliers have inked James Harden to a three-year, $97 million deal, and social media fans are expressing their skepticism. The Cavaliers' roster and vision are strong, as evidenced by their recent trade for Peyton Watson from the Denver Nuggets. The team is aiming to win their first NBA title without LeBron James and wants their starting five to remain together for several more seasons.

Harden's seamless integration into the starting lineup has been a positive, but his approaching 40 years of age and declining offensive prowess have raised concerns among fans. With the new contract, the Cavs will be paying James Harden over $30 million annually in a few years. "Owing 32 million dollars to a 40-year-old James Harden in 2029 is crazy," one fan commented.

"I feel like we've known for like 8 years now that James Harden isn't capable of winning a championship," another fan pointed out. "All he's gonna do is stink it up in the playoffs," claimed another. Social media reactions highlight concerns about the Cavaliers' ability to secure an NBA championship with Harden under contract.
