    There was no fallout between Westbrook and Harden.

    How many times does the Russ whisperer, Kendrick Perkins, have to tell us that Russ hated Tilman and the culture that new FO was building.

    What culture? WB been here less than a year. Fertitty the one who pulled him here in the first place if he didnt have that culture he been playing in NYC or NO when OKC traded his ass for assets.

    I'm not a fan of Fertitty but I dont like it when players like Harden and WB backbite him after he does **** for them. Stone been here for 15 yrs he isnt gonna build a new culture the Rox havent had before. WB been here for less than a year suddenly he is the culture expert. Rox kept losing assets every year going for broke so Harden can fix his legacy suddenly he thinks the Rox have no commitment to winning. Wtf.

    I honestly think Russ and Harden are scared of Bron and just wants to avoid him and the pressure of winning. Russ apparently beasting in Wash where he has 0 pressure and Harden wants to go to any other contender in the East so he can at least make the Finals.

    Based on Perk, Russ did not like Tilman's culture.

    If you recall, Tilly wanted to pay Russ in installment payments.

    Plus all the assets given up to stay under LT.

    Russ is still talking shet about Rockets FO.

    During Moreys tenure, the Rockets have always strived to be competitive, even in the worst years. Tilman has taken a legit contending team and will be turning it into a 1st lotto pick team in 3 years.

    Harden is the reason why this team hasn't won a championship. Tilman is the reason why this team will be a dumpster fire for years to come.

    He has the option to opt out, LA is worse than Houston for cases.
    If he wanted to stay in Cali, stay there. Don’t play the martyr.

    The team hasn't won a championship in 25 years & with Tilman it maybe 25 more without a title.

    Are you disputing him that he got sick in Texas?

    Otherwise you are talking nonsense.

    No I’m not. I’m saying every player had the option to not return. He chose to. LA is worse for Covid than Houston, so there’s no guarantee he wouldn’t have gotten it there either.
    I’m saying it’s not an excuse or should be a topic. If it is, it shows how weak minded he is.

    Morey didn't like Tilman. Asked out.
    D.antoni didn't like Tilman. Quit
    Westbrook didn't like Tilman. Asked Out
    Now James is asking out.

    Maybe there's an ownership issue.

    He believes differently. And Russ is not blaming Texas, he is blaming the Rockets FO.

    There is a vast distinction between the two.

    Doesn’t matter what he believes. NBA passed down regulations for Covid, teams had to follow.
    Him using that as an excuse for why he sucked in playoffs is weak. Passing the buck or responsibility for your own shortcomings is weak.

    Not if Russ believes the covid exposure was in Rockets organization control.

    I'm a bit surprised by your heated defense of the Rockets FO absent any details or even a response to Russ claims from the Rockets.

    Again, Stone is nowhere to be seen or heard during yet another PR crisis.
