    just baffles me that these are the same people telling others, well the absolute unknown of the years to come is better than what the rockets are with harden. You don't know what you have until its gone. This is what they wanted.

    exactly.

    His rabid base on here would never allow an ounce of criticism even though it was obvious to anyone with an iota of objectivity

    Well it is championship or bust. I have to tell you I enjoyed watching Scola, Lowry and Dragic fight every night and not make the playoffs much more than watching Harden and Russ play last season. In the end they both ended the same, losers.

    He didn't. Morey couldn't either cause Tilman ****ing handicapped us with the luxury tax constraints. HELL ****ING OKC HAS BEEN OVER THE LUXURY TAX LINES FOR YEARS.

    Why couldn't either Harden or Morey leverage them leaving before 2020 summer? "We need Ariza resigned or else I'll be asking for a trade." The consistency of us trading away picks to dodge the luxury cap AND refusal to sign players to go over the cpa prevented us from having attractive expiring contracts such as Ariza's 15 million dollar contract.

    Poor use of leverage for both Harden and Morey.

    But ultimately, **** TILMAN.

    You are more worried about his "rabid base" than objectivity. He's leaving, sorry we dont want to **** on our second best player ever. Sorry that Chris Paul was bad and aggrivating for on year that he wanted Westbrook but our STUPID OWNER and his SON didnt allow our GM to do his job and explain to James that the trade couldnt be done. And Nook has said this over and over and over. But yall still dont listen. He has his flaws as a player, yea and he's made some bad decisions but holy hell you are so hateful for almost no reason. Yea James was very stupid for wanting Wesbrook but it was entirely preventable.




    Sorry, I dont. I like competing for championships and being in the mix than watching dudes fight for a playoff spot. Its not fun. And its objectively worse. You are getting your wish bro. No more Harden. And we are not trading him to the Nets either.

    Besides lebrons super team of Love, Kyrie and a bunch of great role players or the greatest stacked team of all time in the Warriors who else has won during Hardens time here? The Raptors won due to the Warriors being decimated by injuries and Lebron again won because he had a stacked hand in la...

    What did he do the year before with Lonzo, Ingram and co? Zilch .. we kept running into a bunch of stacked teams..

    This wasn’t the tmac era of first round exits.We did as well as we could with the rosters we had.

    I cant imagine that anyone with any knowledge of ball, actually agrees with your thought process. Sheesh man. You had no argument whatsoever.

    I am getting my wish. Selling high on a flawed Superstar that handicapped us with his garbage friend only to ask to leave a year later. I'll take my chances with the future because one thing is clear. Harden will never win a ring as the best player on a team. That's why he's trying to join 2 HOFers.

    I've been a fan since 91. I've seen it all and tanking doesn't scare me.

    Philly and the Nets were on his list. Do you really think He woulndt be the best player on Philly, yea he would. Same with the Nets, you really think injured recovering Durant(achillies especially) is gonna come back the same? Harden is currently better than both and he's arguably been better than Durant for these last couple of years. I say this because we have competed with Durant on a stacked team.

    But also more importantly, do you really see Tillman taking this franchise in the right direction? You know the answer to taht.

    Yeah if Durant is not back at 100 percent I say Harden will be their best player

    And if that's the case Harden still won't win ring. I'd bet money on it. Fact is he isn't a leader.

    If Harden goes to the nets, I'll be more than happy to wager them getting a ring

    So here are the facts :

    - did the Rockets franchise ever tried in the last 8 years to provide Harden the helps to win a championship? if you are one of those morons insisted that bring 3 future hall of famers to this team in the last 8 years doesn't count that that's the end of the discussion.

    beside Westbrook in the 2000 playoff and the last year of CP3, are you even sure Harden was the best player for the Rockets in those previous playoffs?

    - so if this team can not win a championship in the last 8 years, what makes you believe a team built around this style of play around Harden will be having a higher chance in the next what 3-5 years (if thats the window)? And how come we wont keep running into a bunch of stacked teams?

    I never said I was happy or mad about his departure, I am just stating the facts and laughing at those morons who can't face the reality.

    LOL all of them except Cp3 were AFTER their prime. You buffoon. And Cp3 we shoulndt have traded. They were not HOF for most of their years here. Especially Westbrook and Dwight.

    Yes he was. All of the stats and metrics point to that.

    And this is what I mean by trash analysis. There is zero context to this whatsoever. You keep James Harden because he's a number one option. No one can win it by themselves. The Owner demolished this team and we would be in a waaaaay better position if it wast for the Westbrook trade.

    You are an idiot. LOL, everyone is accepting him leaving.

    I don't even know if I can be mad at him. Whom would he be loyal to? Frittata? The people who don't show up in the lower bowl?
