    This just puts an exclamation point on trading EGo for a legit starting 4.

    Need Aaron Gordon on this team.

    Better ball handler/passer more explosive longer better finisher.

    Can defend 1-5.

    Everyone criticized MDA for doing exact thing.

    But Rockets feel they need to start their best 5.

    Obvious solution is trade EGo for a player that is better roster fit.

    Or House. Hell even PJ if absolutely necessary, though it pains me.

    But EGo is the obvious choice here.

    The less ego has to dribble, the less he gets in his own head and turns it over. So starting him may be a lowkey smart thing to do, psychologically.

    Silas is starting him because he feels that he is one of the best Rockets to attack closeouts.

    That means EGo will be doing a lot of dribbling to prove this point.

    Especially if 3 not falling.

    James looks fat again on the League Pass broadcast. I give up. Trade him.

    Harden, Boogie and Wall score 20 each tonight on limited minutes. All trade talk goes out the window. Boom.

    This is basically what talking to media will result in

    Reporter: Harden you still want to be traded?
    Harden: I'm good. Just playing the spurs and trying to win.

    HEADLINE: Harden wants to win with Spurs!!

    They've been tight on the court for years. They're always hugging and chatting before/after games.


    *EDIT* : I mean.... Rudy Gay incoming... confirmed.

    Found a coach who will bench Harden. @Rudyc281 was right.
