    I dont get the appeal of pairing up with IT.

    Harden should feel like ****.

    Gotta go with your heart regardless of the talent. Good for him.

    How sad a rockets fan can be when your only hope is getting a guy from the end of the bench of a mediocre team so that you can declare a moral victory?

    Holy crap.... This might be the first time I can ever recall Woj being blatantly wrong about something. Good for Boston. They need more talented veteran guys on that squad. But I still don't think Horford gets them anywhere close to being at Cleveland's level. But if this somehow helped them attract Durant...

    I thought he wanted to live in an area where there is a large Hispanic community?

    Thomas, Bradley, and Crowder, Smart, Brad Stevens, Leastern conference vs only James Harden and Bestern conference. Not that hard of a decision.

    Grousbeck, Ainge, Stevens >>>>>> Leslie, Morey, D'Antoni

    One team wins championships, the other talks about winning champions.

    I wish people would get over this ignorant narrative that "Player X didn't sign with Houston, therefore nobody wants to play with Harden." There is a LOT more that goes into a decision than what superstar you'd be playing with on a given team. Some guys prefer certain locations or certain amenities. Some guys recognize the benefits of playing in an easier Eastern Conference.

    But, seriously, there are probably a ton of reasons why Horford chose Boston over Houston and I'd be willing to bet that none of them revolved around "I have no respect for Harden and would never want to play with him."

    Houston not even in the mix. HOUSTON USED AGAIN! :grin:
