    I guess Woj is just naive and the Rockets never went for Jimmy Butler...

    The warriors have 4 all stars and a payroll 50 million dollars more. We didn't have the depth to contend cuz our owner didn't want to spend money. We replacing CP3 with g leaguers and guys who's careers were over until Harden revived them.

    These are all guys who were out of the league until Harden. Austin Rivers, Faried, Josh Smith, Prigioni, Jason Terry, Joe Johnson? Like wtf how we gonna contend losing our second best player

    We replaced CP3 with Max contract Westbrook...and Westbrook was plan B, completely approved and desired by James Harden...

    I am, but you're ignoring the point because it can't be refuted.

    Lol Durant still played 4 and half games. You act like he was out all series. He dominated us for 4 games. Is that not enough to turn the tide on a series.

    Terrible trade. No one said Harden was a good GM. He should have CP another chance. Morey wanted to as well. Westbrook and Harden do not fit together.s

    Sure, you're Harden's biggest fanboy so you're hoping the team fails so Harden looks better.

    Most of the animosity around Harden comes from the fanboys who are mad that someone actually dared to throw shade at him and they've (includding you) have all taken it extremely personally.

    Apparently, it's enough to turn the entire series when it's CP3...

    But you’re that bitter ex. You hate to see it. But it’s actually funny though. So your logic being supportive of harden whose been a rocket for nearly a decade and put houston back on the map you’re not allowed to want him to do well = you’re not a fan. Just wow. The stupidity is never ending with you

    So then how does this make Tilman a 'horrible' owner if Harden was part in getting Westbrook?

    How is it that Tilman didn't want to win when he tried to add Butler to CP3/Harden?

    Becuase Harden was okay with it not happening. It's been said many times. Tillman came in last hour forced the trade and gave up kings ransom. Morey said eff it I'm out. He lost the best GM this team ever had by making the worst move.

    the fact that you have to ask that question gives you your answer

    people don't need to hope this team does bad. they were going to suck with harden was gone. which was obvious to many of us. Most of us have said that from the beginning. you on the other hand mr. everything is fine with the house on fire kept thinking they were good. reality checks are great. you don't see it and still don't as you said. That's a you problem bitter ex

    This is depending on who you believe.

    What we know for a fact is that the Rockets wanted Butler and were going all in on him and once he gave them the stiff arm they had to do something else.

    You're talking about reality checks when you and others keep pretending the James Harden Rockets won a championship.
