    his 4 year extension that will make him significantly overpaid kicks in this year would be my guess.

    It could mean How Russell Westbrook went up to each player and says You need to this.

    While each player in the Locker room were dumbfounded that Russell Westbrook literally bricking and airballing every shot he takes.

    Yes Russell Westbrook acts like a Hypocrite.
    Literally was the worst Rockets Player on the Floor.

    Yes it's a huge Culture change. To Me First Stats Guard in Russell Westbrook.

    To John Wall a Excellent Leader Natural Point Guard who cares about his teammates. John is well spoken, smart, quick thinker, sees the Floor.

    Yes a Huge Culture Change, John and Demarcus care about their teammates and the Locker Room.

    You got it twisted, its the Harden who always been shady and EGo is happy that goof is away from the team. Its no coincidence EG drops 50 with no Harden around and then conplains about no team offense when Harden is on the court

    He's a professional, speaking on a superstar whos being a crybaby. Morey coddled him, and now that Morey's gone, he's throwing a tantrum. I bet the whole team's gonna be shady towards James

    The same Gordon who been shooting like **** the past 18 months? The same Gordon who hasn't come close to dropping 50 points since that game?

    If you think Gordon can do that most nights without Harden, you're very delusional. Gordon has an easy job by spotting up, and he can't even seem to do that properly anymore.

    setting picks is easy job too. but is it fun to stand in one place in shoot? **** no and everybody knows it... why you think nobody wanted to play with Harden all those years? If their job would be so easy everybody would love to

    And say what you want EGO always came to play in playoffs, he had long injury this year but I am sure he has a lot left in the tank. He is severly underrated and I would go as far as saying his ability is more important to winning games than let's say ability Westbrook brings

    Yup even when Gordon is shooting bad, he's a strong penetrator to the rim and he's a plus defender on the perimeter which you can't really say for WB and Harden.

    Gordon has always been shady. He didn't really like playing for MDA and he constantly complained in the locker room in the past.

    He wants to be more featured and he sense that may happen.

    And what's most important EG doesn't try to play above his ability. He knows he isn't number 1 superstar so he plays like best compliment superstar can have. Actually If we get Draymond and Wiseman out of Harden I will be stoked for that team.

    Eh Draymond is past his peam and too much of a inconsistent shooter. He works well with Curry and Klay because of how much they move off ball.

    But he is a champion. Wiseman is great prospect. I would much rather see this happen, we would get to see what excuse Harden can come up with while playing with Steph, Daryl Morey not getting his candy etc

    MDA was trash. He's an old trouble maker. Can't change a zebra's stripes. We knew what would happen going in. You were the one who said he'd oust Morey. You said that the day he was hired. You were right. The order was just a bit off.

    James Harden Head Coaches over his NBA Career

    Scott Brooks
    Kevin McHale
    Mike Dantoni

    Yes these Coaches are Successful in the Regular Season. But Playoff Success and Adjustments on Offense and Defense is not one of them.

    Stephen Silas really has me impressed in how detailed he is, on both offense and defense.

    I wonder if a change in offensive system is also a culprit for Harden wanting to leave?

    Maybe he knows in Brooklyn, him and Durant can still employ the same offense as Harden played here.

    Oh don't get me wrong, I am not saying that MDA is faultless. I am only saying that Eric Gordon isn't the greatest chemistry guy when things do not go his way, he complains a lot and is very negative. I do think he will have a very good year though.

    I really don't think so..... Silas said he would allow Harden to do what he wants.... he was only going to make some tweaks.

    Neither Harden, nor Westbrook were happy that the Rockets didn't offer the job to Ty Lue as they believed he was the proper coach.

    Hell yeah, Tilman catered to the players he loved.

    He does not give out long contracts and big contracts willingly but he did cater to his stars as well once the contract is signed.

    He regretted giving CP3 that contract.
