ESPN Sources: James Harden was not in Houston today but told Rockets FO he will be soon

Honestly don't know if I should take this as good news or not.

 

As usual, media trying to milk every bit of drama. We'll see what happens.

 

I honestly don't get it. You guys crapped on DH on his way out saying he was the problem. You crapped on CP3 on his way out saying he was the problem. Now everyone's crapping on Brodie on his way out saying he was the problem. There's only one common denominator amongst it all. And none of you will admit it until he's gone at which point everyone will be like "I always knew he was a choke artist and bad teammate unlike the rest of you."

 

Again, look at what they do, not what they say.

He wasn’t at practice.

He didn’t make his individual workout.

the rest you can ignore.

 

2 of the 3 are true.

Dwight was trash and he was too dumb to do the things that would make him a useful player.

Westbrook is trash and he's too dumb to do the things that would make him a slightly useful player.

CP3 was an amazing fit and it's unfortunate it didn't work out.

 

Should have built the team around CP3. Harden is a Beta chump

 

The people who crapped on CP3 were plain stupid. And to be honest I don’t remember that crowd being that vocal. Westbrook was a fitment issue as soon as the trade happened everyone of us knew that. As for Dwight I wish that team had a different coach & some better role players I think they could have done something. But towards the end Dwight wasn’t buying into doing what he does best and he wanted the ball in the post.

 

Tillman?

Nobody give a **** about Dwight Howard leaving either Houston or his subsequent 5 employers btw.

Other than you I guess.

 

Westbrook absolutely carried the Rockets from January-March when Harden was flaming out. Getting COVID and getting hurt is not something I would typically hold against someone.

 

LOL, nonsense. Westbrook had a short stint during the season where he wasn't a net negative, but he NEVER carried the team....and overall he was a net negative, the team would have been better off if they just had him stay home and replaced him with no one.

The COVID excuse is laughable. He was trash to start the season, he was neutral for part of the season, then he was the worst player on the team to end the season.

 

He definitely was our anchor in the playoffs!

 

But he did communicate with the Rockets.

Baby steps.

Harden is still not done putting pressure on Stoner and Tilly to improve this roster.

 

Alright. Last message of the night. Tired of assuming it’s not looking good and having people being like “you want him to leave” and “you’re blowing this out of proportion”

but this guy earlier tweeted “he won’t be with team but will have an individual workout” to “won’t be at individual workout but he’s reporting” and it continues to not head in the right direction.

But to sum up what’s happened under a month:

Running it back with Russ and harden to both asking to be traded

Willing to get uncomfortable to Russ getting traded to I guess what they considered a good deal

Harden to show up Thursday to
Show up Sunday to
Won’t show up Sunday but will have an individual workout to
Won’t have an individual workout but he’ll report

Sheesh. And at no point has he said anything to squash it to say it’s all good
He may end up staying here but “the pessimist” in me is saying This Is Fine with the house on fire

 

CP3 hasn’t won squat and has lost to Harden twice in a series.

 

My two cents on this is that Harden will be here for the next season, and i think he might actually have some sort of deal with Tilman to stay quiet for now, play this season out and then get his trade next summer when a better draft and more/better suitors could be available.

And while i wouldn't be shocked if he's trying to get a deal done now, i'd still say this is probably just him doing whatever the **** he wants...which is obviously not a good, and maybe a consequence of him thinking about this as a transition season.

 

So we have Wall and Cousins says Harden definitely wants to play with Houston... and now someone in the front office has been told by Harden he will report soon.

Draw your own conclusion

 

Harden's at the 2 yard line.

He's just turning the corner...

Estimated Arrival time to Camp and Houston...

SOOOON!






disclaimer - soon can be anytime between Monday and some future undefined date.

 

did not think Harden moved like this. this is annoying.
