    Remember how the Rockets almost traded another disgruntled superstar in their prime? The best situation is for Harden to turn it around. We aren't getting anybody of his youth and caliber back in any trade. Not even close.

    This is true. But this is more on Harden at this point than anything/anyone else. Harden shouldn't even have to be motivated, but if this won't light a fire for him to focus, then good riddance.

    I will also say if the unthinkable happens (Harden continues to mail it in) and a trade of Harden ensues, I would not put ANY of that on Morey. Morey brought in 2 superstars and built this team. It wouldn't be Morey's fault for a player becoming drowned in their self-entitlement.

    You thought I was joking when I said that this will be DMo's team?

    Exactly! Les may be the billionaire owner, but he is a fan too. Just like us the average Joe. :)

    Was a clip they showed on Sportscenter. I bet you can find it on Rockets.com where they have post-practice interviews.

    :rolleyes: If DMO is the Rockets' franchise player then we are barely a playoff team. :rolleyes: Possibly the worst franchise player in the league.

    That's one thing you CAN'T say about Les. He has always been to the point and on course towards his vision on where he wants his team(s) to be.

    Now Bob McNair on the other hand is definitely delusional and could certainly become desperate whent he time comes.

    I feel like Harden is depressed or something and it probably has to do with the Kardashians. Anyways, if he continues to not play hard going further into the season, trade him. Too early, I know but there are some options for the future. Lakers would give Russell, Randle, and whatever else we would want. Boston has some interesting pieces like Bradley, Thomas, draft picks. PHX: Bledsoe and others, ATL: Millsap and Teague, Philly: Noel, draft picks, whatever else they have probably outside of Okafor, Chicago: Butler? Knicks: Melo?
    Not saying trade him today but it becomes interesting if thats the road they want to take.

    And that's what I love about Les.
    He's clearly a fan and not afraid to do something when something needs doing!
    He's stayed away long enough letting people do their jobs, but he's stepped in at the right time.
