Just because Harden isn't a sell-out shill doesn't mean he wouldn't be open to the idea of LeBron joining up. I think its clear he thinks this public recruiting nonsense looks pretty pathetic and desperate and I actually like the idea of the Rockets staying silent. This organization has more pride than that, we shouldn't stoop to the level of the Lakers and Sixers, it looks weak.
Magic is also hedging. http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/...n-says-no-pressure-rebuild-los-angeles-lakers
that's a negative way to put it. it could mean, hey LeBron, we were close, if you join, it's a sure win.
