‘His beard looks well nourished’: Jimmy Butler gives hilarious take on a post about James Harden joining Heat

Jimmy Butler liked a post talking about James Harden potentially coming to Miami and Butler says it’s because he liked Harden’s hair.

The James Harden sweepstakes aren’t as thrilling as imagined. When a perennial MVP candidate like James Harden is on the market, it would be assumed that teams would be frothing at the mouth to trade for him.

However, it has been Houston reaching out to teams to work out a Harden, instead of the other way around. This might be due to the fact that the Rockets are looking for a near ‘otherworldly’ package for ‘the Beard’.
