    No, and I can't confirm anything. I'm just sharing what I was told, which was a "hold up" comment.

    I understand that and don't like it. Hope it explains why some fans are upset.

    House agent did prove what house is worth, morey was not interested.

    I think this is morey another mistake.

    He's not a real Houstonian OG like Gerald than. GG needs to slap some sense into him.

    I understand the emotion of it -- it definitely sucks and I would hate to see us part ways permanently. That said, I don't begrudge him the opportunity to gamble and maybe get a contract that would significantly change his life and the lives of his loved ones. Cold game.

    I still lean towards thinking something gets done eventually. As a couple of people have pointed out, it seems like the only reason they could be holding off on converting him to a minimum deal and letting him enter RFA would be to buy time to work out something more long-term. I hope so, anyway.

    Negotiations are ongoing, we all need to be patient. House is a good piece but his signing doesn't make or break the team.

    I have faith that an agreement will be reached.

    Morey *has* to figure out a way to get out from under this Brandon Knight contract. He is crippling our ability to make reasoned player personnel decisions and is bloating our luxury tax. Hoping a team below the luxury tax takes him if packaged with draft picks.

    Bro really? We already have someone better than House on the buyout market. Have we forgotten how much of a god sent AUSTIN RIVERS has been?

    I wasn’t a big fan of House. I remember what a pathetic person he was in high school and then in college.

    Everyone thinking he can get a better offer should:

    1) look at what guys signed for this summer

    2) look at the 2019 FA class, which is better than last years

    I can't agree with the logic that 25 games warrants more than what late 1st rounders get. Not unless you expect a complete reversal of what happened last summer during 2019 free agency. I'm not mad at him for betting on himself, but that doesn't mean what we offered wasn't fair. It was.

    Then you'll have real reason to whine and compose more insane trade scenarios.

    I think morey is not able to unload him. How about stretching out?

    I just went through and looked at every single NBA contract on Spotrac.

    Every player similar to House at his level of experience is getting the minimum. What does he expect to get?

    He would have taken that deal before Capela injury methinks. He smells desperation.

    But his sniffer is wrong.

    but we are desperate, we are betting on Harden's body not breaking down or the entire season is quite literally down the shitter. At this point, I don't know if losing another rotation player is good for Harden's health
