    anyways, Les the one paying for his salary... and honestly would u pay Mike Conley or James Harden the same salary? I'd choose Harden 10 out 10 times.

    At least Harden acknowledges he'll stay one extra year with this city. He could've easily gone to any other FA destination like Durant and got the max there but he chose us instead. There are plenty of franchises that would give Harden the superstar treatment like Morey and Les, just be happy he's with us and not them... Unless you're one of those people hoping for a lottery pick/rebuild which will NEVER happen under Le$.

    $10 mil extra next two years, another year at the max, then a player option.

    We get an extra year of team control

    What is the point of dogging harden for this letter? I don't understand that logic. We have a good thing going here and setup well for years to come. Some of you will never be pleased.

    oh ok, so the POS is making it seem like we should be grateful he picked us. I thought he was talking about Ryan and Eric Gordon signings.

    It made sense for both sides contractually. When he is in the player option year he will qualify for the super max. Previously he would have been one year short. The Rockets are guaranteed to keep him until he's 30

    What good thing? This team isn't close to contending and has no clear way of adding another star

    The harden signing was just that. A way to add another star.

    Harden has definitely seemed to want to improve based on what he is saying and I will believe in that until he shows us otherwise. As for the haters... haters gonna hate. We can only hope that their lives continue to be miserable as all hell.

    This site takes everything you love or anything that makes sense, balls it up, craps on it, sets it on fire and then it cries because its own hands got **** and 2nd degree burns on it as well.

    Not bad at all, knowing he probably wrote this while getting a lapdance.

    Give him a break. He's congratulating himself for the increase in pay. He didn't acknowledge our summer acquisitions, he didn't give us a playoff post interview just be appreciative he chose us.
