    guy is working his ass off night in and out for the FO to pinch pennies over house.

    We don’t deserve James Harden.

    My humble opinion; If you don't understand the salary cap and the future implications of giving House the money he wants then you should probably just stfu. I'll get mad when BimaThug tells us that they're pinching pennies and we should be mad.

    If he is clever, he should know where he wants to be traded. If at all. Morey ain't going to do it.

    Won't do him any good being traded to just a 'playoff contender'.

    Weird to even think that. He has help that is injured and when healthy puts us up there with a team considered by a lot of people to be one of the greatest.

    With their injuries he has been able to go on a run that has people comparing him to the best players to ever do it. Ultimately he wants to win a championship, but what makes you think going somewhere else gives him a better chance? You do know in order to trade for a talent like Harden you have to give up a good amount (even when demanding a trade). Fortunately Harden has a good sense of logic and loves representing Houston.

    As I said, Morey spends more time on luxury saving than making a good trade to improve the rosters.

    Trade = luxury tax saving
    Luxury tax saving >>> improving rosters to win a championship

    Thunder
    est. tax bill 73 million

    Rockets
    est. tax bill 12 million

    He is too cool to owner/GM compared to LeBron.

    Lol at him demanding a trade....the rockets made him a superstar and is getting paid like one, has done everything they can to surround him with talent...overpaid for CP3 for him.....constantly trying to upgrade at the trade deadline....you think he's going to demand a trade over house? LOL

    Harden isn’t demanding a trade. We’ve had a ton of injuries to our top guys. He understands that. It’s not the front office’s fault.

    What about CP3 $40mill a year salary, yes he helped harden but was that the only option to help harden and improve our roster?

    To me it all goes back to that trade/signing
