    Honestly we ignore this point in all this. If Harden is doing this for political/personal reasons then there it is. Nothing other than removing the owner can be done!!

    wrap this all up if this is truly the case.

    I think the hold up is two tiered, first I think the Rockets hope to convince him to change his mind and second, I think the Rockets likely prefer Porter and Simmons slightly over Brown... so there is a reason to wait, to see what picks or other pieces are potentially added by the various teams.

    In a switching scheme? Yes

    Straight up? He could guard some 3's.

    FWIW I don't think Silas views him as a 3 on defense.

    I don’t rate him as a defender. When Tuck switched over on the big guy he bottled him up aka the Chuckwagon.

    Yeah.. If I'm Houston I don't give a damn about Brown anymore. Tatum or get off the phone. Miss me with that Herro/Simmons bullshit.

    Woah! Damnation. Can't say I'm a fan of Skip Bayless, not hardly, but I like Shannon Sharpe. Those two were going absolutely ape over Harden's first two games. Said he was doing what he did 10-15 pounds overweight. Their minds were blown. Agree with them or not, that's well worth watching. Thanks, @Amel.

    Yes its high but other teams are afraid to gut their roster. When one makes a great offer it will be a domino effect for other offers

    Shannon is still saying "I've never seen anything like this" regarding Harden's ability to score the ball? Come on.

    Harden has been doing this for years.

    Theyre not afraid of harden staying in houston but they are absolutelt terrified if their competition lands him. Go figure.
