    I've thought the same about you ever since you anointed PJ Tucker the "ultimate Lakers killer".

    Hakeem didn't force the trade for Drexler he agreed to the move.

    Sure.

    Thats why you keep asking for my input.

    You're just as shady as Tilman.

    Tilman tried to save money. That's his sin. I personally don't care about the political aspect that got leaked by TMZ, that's between Harden and Tilman. But LTS? Objectively not smart, poor move on his part.

    This city did Harden no favors. I maintain that Harden staying here this long was in Houston's favor. The only thing this allowed Harden to do is make good money and put up great stats. He was already a star before he got here, the whole league knew it.

    Bobby Brown is the Harden whisperer. What’s he up to these days?

    maybe others have already responded and asked this .... but are we sure that was all harden ? My understanding of that event was it was like 75 % tilman 25 % harden.

    Not really. He failed to substantiate his claim that Olajuwon forced the Rockets to trade Thorpe.

    None of this has been a great look for him, but I can’t stand reading the “Houston did absolutely everything for him” line of bullshit.

    We had a top 30 player of all time in his prime for 8 seasons and essentially never paid the luxury tax. Both owners are complicit in that stupid ****ery.

    Was that before or after his recommendation to hire Silas?

    :rolleyes:

    Clutch puts a much larger role on Harden about the trade than Nook does, who pretty much puts all the blame on Tilman.

    Sounds like other players was right about James to me because to me Silas might be like one of them coaches that’s gonna hold every player accountable something the previous coaches haven’t done since James been here I like the hire, but James wanted Ty Lue another coach that’s gonna kiss his superstars ass that’s the type of coaches James love

    Or perhaps the championship that Lue has as a HC was the appeal?

    Sounds like he didn't get his way this time and decided to throw a temper tantrum. Pretty much in character and what should be expected from a person like him.

    Harden did recommend Silas, same as Russ (who also forced a trade).

    That's the story, but was it his first choice? If his temper tantrum started right after that decision was made, it stands to reason that it was a significant factor in causing his little b**** fit.
