    I know. That's my point. OKC was able to have one final fluke season because the guy they traded for was better than the trash they got rid of. In Houston, that's not the case. There's no return that would allow the Rockets to avoid needing to tank for a complete rebuild if Harden is gone.

    Why do you lie so much?

    Rockets were top 5 in pace D'Antoni's first season with Rockets and Harden at PG.

    MDA slowed pace to accommodate CP3 style of play, not Harden's.

    Rockets also went primarily to iso ball when CP3, EGo and Clint were out for large part of regular season in 2018 and Rockets dragged a team full of g League talent from outside top 8 to challenge for top 2 seed in the West.

    Your anti-Harden bias is odious but it is unnecessary to use Trumpian tactics of repeating lies ad nauseum trying to speak falsehoods into existence.

    Wrong, they had far more than just 1 style while D'Antoni was here, they played fast, they played slow. They changed their style half way through the Chris Paul first season as well. Went from the fastest pace in the league to almost the slowest. the slowest style also was one of the most efficient style's in the league as well

    I'd like to see the Rockets let him sit out and sulk by himself instead of caving to his trade demands immediately. It won't decrease his trade value, and it will increase the value of our (meager) draft picks and let us develop some other players, plus get a bidding war going as other teams sense that he's available. Silas has really impressed me so far and he doesn't deserve a sulking $40M man in his locker room.

    Dude even CP3 wanted Harden to push the pace up occasionally. Ever since 2018, the Rockets have slowed down in pace considerably and rs because of Harden. It ticked back up with Westbrook because obviously that dude loves running around like a headless chicken often.

    If you can't see how Dantoni and Morey catered towards Harden ,you are blind. All there decision-making was to maximize Harden until they traded Capella.

    He only sulks on the court. He's going to have big booties on his lap otherwise.

    Kidnap Harden and tie him to a chair while forcing him to commit to the Rockets?

    its going to be sad day when he bails on this team partially because of trades he wanted.
    he's still our second best player ever but at this point just trade him to the highest bidder.

    Yeah, I could see that team sneaking in as the 7 or 8 seed and getting swept in the first round. Not too bad.

    Honestly I've seen posters like you and D-Rock throw personal insults around far more often.

    Self-awareness goes a long way.

    How often do you see me throw insults your way? How often do you see me be the first ones here to do so? You and your boy here whine about us and then play innocent when we call you out on this.

    Actually how often do you see me insult you personally, I dont believe that i do that.

    You are ignoring reality again.

    Rockets have run multiple offenses and systems with Harden under MDA but it was primarily to maximize their 2nd star. D'Antoni changed offense for both CP3 and Westbrook.

    FACT.

    Wouldn't it help him to lower his trade value? If the goal is to be traded to a contender, then lowering your trade value means your new team gives up less.
