    Thinking "accessibility" to players might have been a mistake. Not to turn them back into "machines" instead of humans. But I just see them as bunch of emo teen'ey kids now not too worthy of interest

    the key is the Harden extension. If we get that, I’m absolutely fine with extending PJ.

    You don't have to pay attention.

    The market for trade gossip is incredibly high and if the NBAPA can find a way to monetize it they should.

    they are one in the same.

    both are extended or both are traded.

    I'm almost certain.

    I'm saying it.

    If I had sources, I'd be making money off of it like Shams or Woj.

    lol, the PJ hate has started bubbling on CF the past few days...not surprising

    look at how quick fans will turn on a player, but players are supposed to show 100% loyalty...foh

    organization was quick to give EG a terrible extension, but PJ who took less to come here and has been the heart and soul of the team battling undersized at his position can’t get anything, and then guys are on here like, “why is PJ so upset??”

    I've found that many, many NBA stars seem to think the world at large is against them. There's drama everywhere for them.

    I don't see a lot of this.

    PJ won't be extended without Harden.

    There is no point. PJ wants to compete for a championship. He doesn't want to be here without Harden. They are a package.

    Bingo. PJ being frustrated is completely understandable.

    It would be pretty cool of Harden to cause this circus because he just wanted PJ to get his money. That's a cool friend. I'd still be pissed but I guess happy at closure lol.

    My theory is that this is all about pretending to be upset that Russ was traded but it's just a silly hunch.

    Trade em to 2 different teams.. bout tired of PJ and his ass kissing.. He act like he didn't play for Phoenix and Toronto before showing up to Houston now he worships the ground Harden walk on.. PJ all you do is shoot corner 3's and play D' your not a superstar.. I understand Harden got your followers up' but bro.. chill tfo..

    Should have given Tucker his extension either way. The guy quite literally poured his heart and soul onto the floor every night. He was one of the main reasons we were ever competitive against the GSW in those two years in the playoffs.

    I am with you, but you know, it's business. The Rockets are in no position to be handing out an extension to an older player unless they have commitment from their superstar player.

    He doesn't want it without Harden here.

    The team and PJ were on the same page about an extension per Codman.

    Then Harden threw in the wrench of wanting a trade.

    If PJ wants a max extension, I'd give it to him regardless because loyalty is valuable. The Heat do it. The Mavs do it. The Rockets should be ran like that. PJ deserves $20 Million more guaranteed. He just does. I don't think he wants it without James here. He wants to win a championship before he retires.

    PJ has been clamoring for an extension for over a year...the organization has turned him away time and time again

    if I’m PJ, I’d be absolutely heated
