    Trust me, he rather be the man. The guy want to play it like this. There's noway he would join teams where he dont have the ball 100% of the time.

    Aside from Kerr, I think Harden would be the dream of almost every coach in the NBA. Hell, I think even Kerr would love him but would whine daily about how he doesn't actually like him.

    Yes. It was. Again, if you don't understand the salary cap...

    If we had not signed Chris Paul we weren't going to be $40,000,000 under the cap like some of you seem to believe. We still wouldn't have had additional cap room.

    yes, demanding a trade is clearly extreme and not warranted. but at the same time the front office has not offered even $1 above minimum in any new player signing this year. couple that with our fiascos in mcw/melo plus the useless players we got back in the anderson trade, and it's hard to say our depleted roster is solely due to injuries. morey could have just converted house's contract at the minimum for the remainder of the season and it would have benefited both parties right now. we probably win the BKN game in that scenario. as a fan, it is indeed difficult to gauge what exactly the front office's aim is going forward. are they genuinely trying to contend during harden's prime, or just half-assing it in order to guarantee tilman's profit margin over the coming years?

    Exactly. I understand there are cap constraints but perhaps that should have been thought of before handing out Anderson/Lin level contracts. Going on 7 yrs since he has been here and we still fail to give him a cast. No player in modern NBA history (IMO) has had to shoulder such a load. Not to mention he gets blasted for every off game.

    When you have a generational superstar like James he ends up being a crutch for the FO since he can single handedly carry a team, it’s my belief that the talent is enabling.

    You don’t just have an all time great right now, you have an all time great in his PRIME.

    I respect your opinion @Clutch , thanks for weighing in

    I no longer think of Morey as a good GM.

    I disagre. Harden is the only player Pop watches film for because he is so good. Pop hates 3's and Iso. Harden would be a nightmare to assimilate into the Spurs cult.
