    It does seem D’Antoni may be out if they disappoint in the playoffs this year. But they would be fools to trade Harden or let go of Morey.

    There is so much unknown about Fertitta, the penny pinching is the realest thing.

    I wouldn't be surprised about anything, but yeah, Harden is a cash cow.

    A penny pincher wouldnt lockdown Capela, Gordon, House, Rivers in one season.
    Le$ was letting assets walk outta here for free left and right. The narrative was that wink wink deals were happening with agents and not because Les was cheap.

    Tilman holds people accountable so everytime he puts pressure on front office they leak out that he's cheap to deflect any blame.

    The old Sith lord Leslie.

    He did pay for those 2nd rounders though from his Chinese piggy bank.

    We had one of the cheapest payrolls. Besides Harden we had rookie contracts.

    The franchise was not blessed with the best owners, winning 2 despite of him was fortunate.

    Are you implying quitting is acceptable as long as your stats are good?

    So watching a player rack up regular season accolades every year, without seriously contending for a championship, is sufficient enough for you? That's the problem w/ Rocket fans these days I guess

    If he goes 1-37 then so be it. But he STOPPED SHOOTING SHOTS at the time the Rockets had the best opportunity to get to the finals. We had a 4th quarter lead, against a hobbled GS team, with no Kevin Durant. Before that it was game 6 with no Kawhi. You're not even attempting to defend this I see

    Ignorant or observant? If a healthy Kevin Durant didn't take any 4th quarter shots in a crucial playoff game, it'd been the same story. Maybe you're delusional

    So again. You're okay with Harden quitting & us losing playoff games we should win, as long as he gets his numbers. The expectations as a Rocket fan have got pathetic

    Who said anything about that? You're changing subjects at such a rapid pace it's hard to see your point. Can you justify a player who attempted the most 3's in NBA history, regarded as the best offensive player ever, with the highest usage, not attempting a shot in the last 7 minutes of the biggest game of his career?

    Of course you are in favor of trading Harden and Westbrook.

    But that's why you are always wrong.
