I was never a Harden fan. Never cared for his lifestyle choices. Always seemed marginally out of shape and getting worse as he ages. His ball dominance and playoff disappearances are legendary. When he is focused, he can be effective, but often loses focus and looks lost on the court. Remember that playoff game against the Spurs. As crappy as the free agent contracts are, the Rockets at least didn't make a major mistake by bringing him back.
@BimaThug could we have done a sign and trade with Harden, moving him to another team, and picking up valuable assets like a Tre Mann?
I knew that Harden **** was manufactured. Called that a while ago. He's not going anywhere. My guess was Harden opted in to try for a ring one last time before cashing in next off season. There was zero indication Harden was un happy and wanted out other than the nation media who is wrong more often than right.
The only NBA player who ever got away with partying as much as Harden has is Dennis Rodman, who might be the single greatest athlete of all time for replacing all his sleep with hard drugs and still playing to 38. In the NBA, you can't party as hard as you work.
lmaooo so delusional. He opted in cause he had no other choice. Nobody was offering him the big long bag he thought he was getting. Not even Morey. Lol @ the thought of Harden winning a championship and cashing in at age 35. You fanbois are a trip.
Harden is still the best point guard I've ever seen when he's at his best. I was hoping some sort of therapy for the post season would fix him right up and he'd back to Houston.
Time flies. Caprio, Bennifer all 50s now. All that White money in the Hamptons could have gone to a better cause.
My point is that I believe we have a player on the roster (Eason/Jabari) that have potential to grow into team leaders on D. Eason was already almost as good as Brooks last year as a rookie. To your second point, we still have that issue, just replacing Martin with Brooks.
