According to John Wall, James Harden “for sure” wants to be in Houston

"These guys shoot like Klay Thompson" ... come on, man. And Jahlill Okafor has post moves like Hakeem Olajuwon. Stromile Swift dunks like Dominique Wilkins. Rafer Alston handles the ball like Isiah Thomas.....

 

It's always the same dudes running with biased sources and their own imaginations. Let stuff fall where it will, then talk some ish, in the meantime, nothing is out of the norm.

 

“For sure” wants to be here....pshhh heard that before...

“Not arriving for covid protocol”? Give me a break man - dude was just in the club w/ no mask popping bottles (unless those videos that surfaced are old)...

My bet is he’s gone by the deadline - definitely not signing an extension this year. Let’s see what the new look rockets will be

 

ok I'm getting hard again

 

is there a vid of the Jwall interview?

 

He shoots 3's as well as Jeff Green.

Their career averages were nearly identical until Uncle Jeff blew up his 3P% with the Rockets due to all the wide wide open looks.

AG was compared to Faried because both are high energy above the rim players.

But AG is longer, near elite defender and the much better playmaker.

Faried was not a playmaker at all and while his straight line speed was elite (like AG) his lateral agility was sorely lacking (unlike AG).

And AG has much higher BB IQ as well.

 

No he's not lol. PJ's one of the few guys that can guard all 5 positions. What he's NOT is a starting 5. Ppl fail to understand PJ has been playing out of position almost his whole tenure here. The guy is the quintessential glue guy every team needs

 

Why isn't the full Wall interview available?

 

Harden is acting like a teenage girl if the emoji has anything to do with Wall's comments.

 

what? Are we talking about the same Aaron Gordon?

 

Alston had nice handles, he couldn't shoot well enough well except for 1 season.

 

AG ball handling and passing.

 

It means Harden is ok with playing with Houston with the changes that have been made - for now.

 

How sure you are you with this statement?

 

First off, before the back and forth starts, I just wanna state one fact: nobody on here is connected to Harden so it’s not only me but everyone is just assuming and basing it on next to nothing.

I’ve flip flopped quite a bit but I really don’t think he’s a Rocket anymore. I feel a trade out of nowhere is going to pop up and it’ll be official soon.

I do hope I’m wrong but this is getting too much of where there is smoke there is fire. It’s too close to the start of the season and Harden does love basketball. He has never not showed up and he must have known what he’s doing would hold him out of being able to show up today.

It was first reported he would be with the team Thursday then it’s no, officially it’s Sunday, now it’s Covid protocol.

He’s a goner. Yes the media does love to blow things way out of proportion for the Rockets; but again the where is smoke there’s fire has been consistent with their hate.

When they first reported the rift between James and CP it was ludicrous with man boob tales and all, but lo and behold CP was gone. The Westbrook demand leaked, and with us scouring the lack of demand and our GM boasting how they’re willing to get uncomfortable, nope, the report was right.

Yes, James is allowed to live his life however he chooses, at all times. James Harden also loves to ball, and what he’s doing right now is keeping him away from that.

 

The guy is here(Harden) and Wall wouldn’t lie do I take his word harden is committed

 

Harden is at training albeit quarantined but he is here. If he wanted out he would not even show up to camp

 

This is EXACTLY where I was at...before the Wall quote. I agree with everything you say here and it perfectly sums up where I was at before I heard Wall speak. But why would Wall say what he did? We've seen everyone else in the organization dodge the question and give "that's a question for James, not me" type of answers. It just seems odd to me that Wall would come out so emphatically, so certain that Harden will be here and wants to be here. That they want to play together.

Do you think Wall is making it up, or do you think Harden lied to Wall?
