    That's crazy if Harden was trying to trade Dwight after Dwight absolutely beasted on the Blazers while Harden got completely lockey down by Wes Matthews and Co.

    Woj himself said that their relationship isn't good. He didn't say they tried to get each other traded that is only Blinebury so far.

    But unless you think Woj has an agenda or is unreliable then you have to accept that they don't get along and it has only been getting worse.

    As best I can tell, "before" means 6 days ago.

    Does it look like Harden and Howard like playing with each other? Like I've been saying, if Dwight isn't traded today or tomorrow, he will be gone this summer. It's clear that everyone involved is ready to move on.

    The year howard dominated and everyone else pooped themselve besides Troy. I liked that team. Bring back chandler, lin, and the powerweb arm sleeves. Automatic 4 seed and first round exit but at least they weren't as horrible to watch as this team.

    Incoming Blinebury headline:

    Chandler Parsons left Houston because he wanted James Harden and Dwight Howard traded.

    He said he wants to stay in Houston and wants it to work.

    I don't believe it, either. Just media sensationalism

    I think what Fran is saying is 100% the truth. I never got the feeling that Harden and Howard really got along very well and you can see it on the court.

    Go type into Google any "duos" of star players such as "durant westbrook", "lebron wade", "curry thompson", "duncan parker", etc.

    Then type in "howard harden" and see what their body language is like. There are no pictures of them "chest bumping" or celebrating or helping each other up. Mostly just pictures of them discussing something on the court or giving casual high fives:

    I'm not saying they have to be best friends... but I'm sure it helps the chemistry when both of the star players are on the same page and respect each other's games.

    just wondering what Harden's gripe would be with his on the court performance that series. Howard was the only silver lining that series.

    No way this is true.

    If he saw texts from harden or just dwight? Maybe. Although i doubt it.

    But to see texts from both? Fran you reached to far brotha.

    No way any of this is true. Harden trained so hard that summer and came back and had an mvp type of year and howard went further in the playoffs then he had in 5 years. Howard openly acknowladged that he should and would take the back seat to James last year. Howard imo just wants to win and I think that's all James wants too.

    I think its pretty obvious they've never meshed, nobody is denying that. Anything Fran says is complete agenda driven.

    Where was this headline when the Rockets were the #2 seed last season?
    Where was it after James Harden sat through pretty much the entire 4th qrt of game 6 against LA?
    Reaching before trade deadline at it's finest.

    How convenient this comes out 2 years later. Fran is garbage with an agenda against the Rockets since he got fired from the Chronicle.

    Weirdo.

    [​IMG]

    They are water & oil. Woj. did say "The Harden/Howard partnership is not solid. It's slowly devolved. That's part of it here."

    Wanted each other traded? :grin: Did they each go to Daryl &/or Leslie?
