    Send him to Minnesota at this point. If you can get two good firsts for him, send him exactly where he doesn't want to go to a team desperate for relevance.

    I get that the Rockets want to get a franchise game changer overhaul for Harden, but there's just so little market out there for a guy like him even despite his talent, and its declining FAST. The team has to completely change its entire roster to fit James, he has issues playing with other stars, and he is in his 30's. Every team technically "wants" James Harden, but there's just no market for James Harden as a star player package asset.

    If I was another GM I would be looking at the Iverson example as a huge warning. Once he left Philly and had to start over with a new franchise in Denver, it was a sharp decline in his value & ultimately shortly after his productivity. A team like Miami or Philly knows this history of star trades in their 30's and knows the risk. I want the Rockets to get max value for Harden too, but if you put yourself in the shoes of another GM there is ample reason to not give up much of anything for the guy.

    Rockets are going to have to take a loss on this one. They should have traded him on draft night and pulled a preventative trade before news started getting out.

    Mad about what.

    Those fines are peanuts to someone that wealthy.

    And I think he wouldn't mind being suspended couple games either.

    This is called abiding by the rules.

    If this is true that LaVert, Allen, Prince, Dimwitty with all the picks and swaps allowed by law package starting to look fabulous. his mom may need to take a break from being his agent and start being his mom for a minute.

    F**k Harden at this point.

    Most of us have defended him.. constantly. Even when it's clear he was at least partially to blame for our crap situation. Then he behaves like this, which is not only irresponsible but also disrespectful.

    Don't trade his ass if the packages still suck, let him hang out at strip clubs. He's under contract for 2 years.

    He’s definitely will be suspended. I just watched the video and he has his 4PF chain on which I don’t think he had one last year.... what an absolute clown

    Someone called me a Nets fan on here because I said the same thing. Its not worth the damn headache anymore. Hes intentionally tanking his trade value.
