Bill Simmons: “In the whisper circles, everybody seems to think he’s going back to Houston.”

superstars always work. See: Nets.

ok, define SUPERSTAR. I might get to 10 or even a dozen.

Stars? Lots.

Role playing stars almost as rare as superstars.

 

I am VERY worried about his injury potential.

 

Pollyanna me sincerely believes that man will take a giant leap forward next season.

 

Nope. If the rockets get a couple of solid pieces I would put a core of Harden, Green, Wemby, Sengun and say Jerami Grant with a couple of shooting vets off the bench I would put the rockets in the playoffs mix.

I just checked basketball reference mvp tracking and harden has now moved fifth in the mvp tracking rankings. Yeah he can still be a game changer

 

Exactly. He plays better and scores more when EMBIID is OFF the FLOOR!!……This shows he is better as the main man

 

IF we get Wemby, IF Grant signs with us. And Sengun, Green and Harden on the court is a disaster defensively. Sengun would have to lead the bench.

 

You are high

 

Maxey and Harden in theory is a defensive disaster but in effect it’s the opposite because they play well together and score with insane efficiency . That’s exactly what will with Jaylen

 

where did you get that article from?

 

the Ringer from a couple of days ago

 

Ben Simmons is not a super star. I hesitate to even call him a star at this point.

 

Nice. So how many more decades will it take before Clutch City will live up to its name as a championship team again? Harden has been to four teams and none of them won a ring. So what makes anyone think that the Rockets will even come close, Wemby or not? Harden played with superstars Durant and Embiid but where is the ring? Are the fans just looking for wins here and there or do we want to get that feeling of being champions again? I know, folks will say that it takes time to get there but there is an ancient saying that the journey of a thousand miles starts with the first step, forward, not backward.

 

And what about Sengun?

 

The numbers do not lie. Harden is my favorite player but I can at least be objective, right now Lillard is better, that is just a fact.

 

What about him? You can play him off the bench or with Wemby in spurts

 

I see KPJ, Harden, green a very redundant combo. One must go

 

Let’s be real had harden not blown his hamstring in the bucks series the Nets would have cruised to a title that year. Sometimes in life you need a bit of luck to especially to win a championship.

 

I know who I would be kicking to the curb if I had to choose between Green and KPJ.

 

This is the leadership the young players need on and off the court

 

I just dont think we have good enough defenders for us to be a viable defensive team.
