    I really hope he sticks with this. 10 deep would be a dream after all these years with Mike D's short ass rotations

    Just listened to the interview from coach. Assuming no one picks him up, I'm sure he will be back here soon.

    I'm sure they are trying to throw him into any Harden trade.

    well I also don’t want harden traded lol

    but it’s moot at that point . No way we take back as much as James is making

    Because he does not want out, he wants BETTER.

    Rockets need to make another move to upgrade starters to PROVE to Harden that they are just as committed to winning a championship as he is.

    For comparison, Dame has played with THREE all stars during Harden's tenure with Houston.

    Harden has played with TWO.

    And Harden's teams have always been better, regular season AND playoffs.

    I really hope Silas does well. He gets it. He doesn't like midrange shots, but the Rockets still practice the. In the video Silas says in the 4th, when it's time to get a bucket, you need a bucket. Says James and Cuz getting post up shots.

    They'll be forced to develop players.

    Condensed season be condensed.

    Some of us been saying this for years. Where are the super-mathematicians round here that said you dont need to practice/take them so lets jack up threes?

    It was posted on the previous page, but who cares. Now I just need some resolution to the Harden situation before I can be excited.

    Thanks. Not surprised, but didn’t feel like looking. Should have checked the previous page, though. Yeah, I’d like some resolution as well.

    Silas looks like he is making it easier for Harden on the basketball court. All that iso is exhausting.

    Is he expecting him to bust his butt on defense, though? Maybe Harden can focus more on the defensive side of the ball now if he's not carrying the load on the offensive side? *shrug*

    Even with these small adjustments he sounds like a genius next to DAntoni. Not gonna even try to compare him to Milkhair, thats just disrespectful

    Uhh well the super mathematicians favor taking the mid range or the highest percentage shot in the clutch, see Chris Paul.

    It's too bad we have this ongoing James drama. I'm very excited about our team, seems like we brought a good group of players that are hungry and ready to win. I love Nwaba's, Tate's and Brown's energy. It's always wonderful to have young legs on the team. I love Woods potential. I am liking what I saw from Wall and Cousins. PJ is ready to roll, throwing himself on the floor during the preseason. Even 2 years away Caboclo seems to have a shot to carve out a limited role in this team.

    Personally, I am tempted to say that it would be a good idea to keep PJ around. It's not a bad idea to have solid vets that can give the young guys some solid pointers and advice. I'm alright with giving him a 2 year deal. I'm also hoping we find a way to bring Gerald Green back sooner rather than later.

    Same. I think they wait and see if another star player wants out next summer.

    I think Silas is just being a coach. He has no control over the moves the front office will make and all he can do is game plan with the players that are on the team. Harden is his best weapon and of course he is going to use him in the best way he sees fit regardless of James's status with the team.

    I like your positivity though. I'm here hoping James doesn't get traded although at this point it seems like wishful thinking.
