    Christian Wood is a special offensive talent that will find his way defensively in Silas’ system. He’s easily the best, most versatile offensive center Harden has ever played with, and if Harden objectively looks at the Rockets’ roster, he would see he has a good opportunity to win with this team.

    The question is it enough to persuade him to change his mind about wanting out of Houston? That remains to be seen.

    Its cuz he is young, he is only 25 yrs old man, you got some rookies at age 23. Its not like he went to good teams either, he went to trash teams that stunted his devt.

    Rox spent all that money trumpeting their analytics but couldnt recognize gems when it fell into their lap SMH. Thats really the thing Morey should be held accountable for.

    You mean like Lebron AD?

    Rox are good but Lakers next season could be the most stacked team in NBA history. Rox could be the 2nd best team in the league but barring injuries I dont see them winning a chip.

    Cannot wait to see.

    Lebron will never be the offensive threat that Harden is.

    U guys criticized harden for being lazy and what not. But harden truly is one of the few that loves the game.

    If Harden still wants to play with us, we keep him.

    I don't give a fk about culture change or him being pamper. If he wants to play for us, we keep him regardless of the offers.

    We should at the very least support the man who been carrying our team for 8 years until he gets traded.

    Personally I hope he change his mind, resign and eventually retire as a rockets.

    You are trolling right? Better than KD warriors is laughable.

    He will be traded before the regular season starts.

    Wood looking impressive and fancy.

    Some of the players on this roster do not seem to be built for big minutes in a long season due to former injuries.

    And some are due to miss time because of Covid 19 restrictions.

    Possible but it is harder with every media outlet reporting trade proposals.

    Deals get made quicker when there isn't much rumbling.

    It has spiralled a tad out of control.

    Harden can play in any system. Last
    Night he wasn’t holding the ball for 20 odd seconds. He was making extremely quick decisions and running around without the ball.

    If he doesn’t want to here, he can gtfo.

    he is a distraction at this point with his wishy washy bs. He isn’t going to win a championship anywhere he goes this year anyways.

    Nah. GS has Draymond/Iggy/Klay which showed in the playoffs, they alone can win series without KD or Curry.

    GS was absolutely more stacked. Especially offensively. LA is completely beatable.

    If Cousins has a true bounce back year or they make another great sleeper addition, they may well beat LA.

    And you can tell they aren’t as cohesive as they could be.

    I'll take my chances with Ben Simmons in that spot.

    GSW has no bench they got the Fab 5 and nobody else. Lakers are much deeper plus they got Lebron and AD. KD is on the level of Lebron and AD, but Dray/Iggy/Klay and Curry are all a notch lower.

    Rockets took KD GSW to G7 multiple times. They are far more beatable than the Lakers.

    Nah I'm serious you got the 2nd best player of all time alongside another MVP candidate and a deep bench. Lakers are far more versatile they can play big with Gasol or they can play small with Harrell.

    GSW had 4 all stars and Iggy but they are also limited to the Hamptons 5 as their ace and then they got no bench.

    Nobody won more than 1 game vs the Lakers last year and they added Schroeder, Harrell, Gasol and THT. Rockets were a hamstring away and they just got Harden, Chris Paul and a bunch of role players. Lakers gonna cruise to a championship this year.

    If Chamberlain is your 2nd best player ever is Russell your GOAT? Dude had 11 rings during Chamberlain's time and also got a ring as a player coach.
