    No hating on the guy, I'm not even going to talk about him, we all have to do our thing right?
    Well, this is our team, send him away until we find the trade we like.

    It's not going to further diminish his trade value, that is happening when we showcase this fat lazy version. And we at least will have some motivation to see the games and the players to run and play hard.

    These guys are not even trying, and we need to start working on our future, he can't do anything else? ok, we are trying too, until it can be done, go sit in your house, we will pay you for that, no hard feelings. But get your things out of our freaking arena. And let's play basketball with the people that wants to wear red.

    Stop wasting our time with these humiliating games where they are making the Rockets a national joke.

    What good will it do to sit Gordon?

    It is not a bad idea to let Harden play Harden ball tomorrow and put up a 40 spot and then sit him until a trade is made by this weekend.

    I'm a tell you this I'm disappointed in Harden saying these guys aren't good enough while listening to Wall say guys want to come in and truly compete. Harden was literally in Atlanta partying while training camp was going on comes back making 40 million a year while not being totally committed to giving his all to this team and after nine games he wants to sell his teammates out like that. That's really weak.

    Smart teams would call our bluff and just wait for Harden to hit free agency. For the meantime, they'll continue improving their team without trading their assets.

    If he goes to Philly that's going to be fun to watch. Embiid's attitude is a lot like Westbrook's and how he holds teammates accountable and it won't be Harden's team anymore and Philly fans...well, they are Philly fans, they are expecting a championship and anything less and he's going to be a bum in their eyes.

    Dont even sit him .. trade him to Sacramento or Minnesota maybe even Detroit!

    Dont look for fair trade. Dont look for projects or potential. Expirings and picks only.

    I agree let him ruin his career. I would send him anywhere. Send him to chicago for zach lavine. it doesnt have to be a team he wants to go to.

    Picks+Prospects is the way to go. But fully on board with trading him to whoever gives the best package. Whatever team that may be.

    No Im not with the "best package" group.

    Im on my own out here on the Petty Branch and I want him to go to a worse team than Houston so he can stew even further regardless of return. The worse the better actually so we can tank and screw OKC over in the process too.

    Why would we want less in return. And also OKC will most likely get our pick

    I just wish there was a way we could sit him while not paying his salary (publicly demanding a trade has to be some kinda breach, right?). Regardless, at this point, I think it's best to sit him even if we still have to pay him.

    Yup let him sit of his fat ass and collect his check, no way the rest of his team mates deserve this piece of trash dong absolutely nothing on the court but impeded any real progress the team may be able to make... he is actively sabotaging that team right now its easy to see if you are watching unemotionally . Get rid of him for the best package and let him sit while facilitating that.

    You think the team will perform better and be less embarrassing without Harden.
