    Philly: "yeah we are going to need more than Harden for Ben Simmons"

    Simmons: scores 9 points in 26 mins

    Simmons even in his absolute Peake will never be what Harden is now.

    Every NBA player who plays for the Rockets and every NBA player who WILL EVER play for the Rockets.

    Those are the ones who will care the most.

    If you can do this to your franchise player/one of the greatest scorers to ever lace them up, then imagine what they would do to the next guy.

    It's called working in a toxic work environment with a boss who idolizes Trump.

    I'll let you make the connections.

    Are we still talking about the article or Simmons? Because nobody is leaking stuff to hurt Harden's value. The Simmons leak (allegedly) was in conjunction with the guy Stone wants to trade for. I still dont see the problem. Nobody employed by the Rockets is slandering the Rockets players.

    Harden makes scoring 30 pts in a half effortless. Simmons Meanwhile has a sport pyshicartist help him overcome shooting problems. Like idk how people r rating simons so highly.
    A player who can't shoot/won't shoot can't be trust in playoffs especially if he's gonna b our franchise player.

    Talkin about him reminds me of Anderson, the guy who lost his confidence to shoot wide open shots.

    If you're seriously going to bring up political affiliations. Do some research. If there was a boycott vs Trump or republican party the whole league would fold

    I have a feeling Harden ends up in Miami in a multi team deal...

    U 100% sure? So the article where it mentions Harden delaying flights and all those pamper perks

    It could be
    1) Harden to drive down his value to push for a target destination (he's that desperate to leave Houston he would ruin his own reputation.)
    2) Morey to make it cheaper to aquire Harden

    But not
    3) Houston fo slandering Harden to make it more platable to get rid of him and blame him for the eventual rebuild? Plus tilman gets petty revenge.

    Celtics roster looks sus

    They sure they don’t want Harden? Kemba Walker coming back isn’t gonna save them.

    People talk about Simmons elite passing right? Well Harden is just as good as passer especially as a pick and roll passer.

    Yeah, I think since he's joined ESPN he seems to be pushing things, with that said though this is pretty bad.

    Only reason im leaning towards 3, is cause I rather trust harden a dude who gave up 8 years for us over an owner who keeps saying he gonna do whatever it takes to win, but never does.

    U figured the franchise would do more to retain basically the 2nd best rocket player ever . After the contact extension attempt, no words of reassurance just hit pieces and the urgency to get rid of him.

    I kid u not harden is gonna b the scapegoat for y tilman was "force to rebuild".

    We make fun of Cuban, but that story about him driving around asking DeAndre number if tru shows how much he care as an owner.
