    If what Cyber is saying is true then maybe Harden just doesn't want to be in Houston anymore? If you think about it, it explains his lackadaisical play at times. Khloe "James Houston is cool, but if we we're in LA you could be so much bigger". James "$$$$$$$"

    Young is a distraction, an idiot, and a loser... He is a good guy though.

    He's a pretty good 3pt shooter, but If we're trading for a Lakers guard I'd much rather get Williams and make him the new backup PG if Lawson can't get it together.

    Seriously Lawson's passing is nice but he could be replaced by a 40 year old Andre Miller right now and I wouldn't know the difference. He has to pick up his scoring and defense of he shouldn't be getting minutes.

    Pretty sure the league has crunched the numbers on 3 pointers and now they taking more of them.

    Since 33% on 3 pointers equals 50% on 2 pointers mathematically, you don't need sharpshooters, you just don't need folks shooting career lows.

    I doubt Moreyball involves shooting this many contested 3s, which is a factor of playmaking. We need an above average secondary playmaker to keep turnovers down and produce better shoots.

    And why? Because he makes strange interviews or dates a celebrity?

    Calling him an idiot is a stretch cause we really don't know. But he is a good guy who never gets in trouble and seems like a happy person.

    But some of his antics def come across as a goofball lol

    His teammates have called him one of the smartest guys and the funniest. (though well maybe in comparison with what other guys are in nba lockerooms he may or may not be called a smart guy in the general population).
    He's NOT a malcontent.

    K-Mart has always been an efficient offensive player. Would make sense for Moreyball.

    It's been done before and it's fairly easy to do, heck this team is almost set to feature Howard/Lawson with shooters.

    But build around Harden? This team has more paper talent than the bottom feeders they've been losing to.

    Yall won't be satisfied until Harden is surrounded by Klay Thompson, Kawhi Leonard, Kevin Durant and Anthony Davis, with Steph and Draymond coming off the bench.

    Imagine if all those guys went through a cold spell, "WE NEED NEW PLAYERS, MVP CANDIDATES NOT GOOD ENOUGH!"

    Young is an idiot on the court. His antics won't help the Rockets win. The Rockets need to add some players who are sharp as knives.

    The top teams in the league have two stars who can score buckets. Our team just has Harden. So yeas it would be nice to have atleast one of the players you mentioned to go along with Harden.

    I'm wondering if Harden's jumper goes flat tonight.

    Here's your defensive anchor that's better than Dwight. Gimme a break. Capela has had his hat handed to him by this 4-win team.
