    Harden would never come back with Tilman as owner IMO.

    He's said multiple times that Houston is home. I don't believe him.

    If Harden wanted to come back, you listen, and if it makes sense you do it.

    He is still one of my favorite players, so I say yes. But he left because the talent pool on the team was rather dry, and he kept bickering with all the elite talent that he recruited within a year or two.

    Harden needs an Ariza type of personality around him, in order to keep the peace for Harden and all the teammates he’s bickering with.

    The dude completely quit on the team. Look how he performed after the trade to the Nets. His MVP play suddenly came back.

    Glad I got to enjoy him while he was here, however he left to “win”. We weren’t good enough. Well he won’t be good enough for us.

    the league changed the rules for him in the coming year. Watch his scoring hit below 20. In two years, it will look like he is running in sand. All those mins catching up. We sold at the best time. The decline will come hard and fast for him.

    I honestly had no idea how to vote on this. I'm having an optimistic day so, yes I guess.

    There are some parallels to Lebron and Cleveland.

    Look, if he didnt pull all that **** at the end, I would welcome him back and put his jersey up on the rafters.

    I just can't get over the **** he pulled off to get out...I don't think I ever will...plus he never really delivered us a championship and he disappeared so many times..so fak it

    No, willingly sabotaging the team, his value and not giving the organization the best return possible is enough to say “take care now, bye bye then”. Especially after forcing us to trade for Westbrook and doing everything we can to appease him.

    We also had to put up with him coming into camp out of shape, the partying, the playoff flame outs and the diva behaviour in general. It’s history that we should never revisit. Appreciate him for everything he did, like Tracy, but no reason to go through the drama again. He’s not worth it.

    Ive seen places were scouts have said mobleys floor is ironically our very own christian wood and his ceiling is an admixture of pau gasol, chris bosh and ralph sampson

    cade has drawn luka comparisons since i first made a thread about him a year ago predicting he would go number 1 overall in the nba draft forum

    jalen green is an exciting high flyer and bucket getter, who has the ceiling of a zach lavine and best case scenario of bradley beal based on his measurements and wingspan( but being compared to high scorers who dont impact winning games isnt really a cant miss prospect). Green was the number 4 rated player on a lot of scouts big board behind cade/mobley and suggs. Green's floor is malik monk/ lou williams

    I just don’t care about Harden anymore
    Or D’Antoni
    Or Ariza
    Etc

    It’s just more exciting to have a new team now with lots of talent

    The people saying no purely based on how he left, need to use logic instead of emotion.

    If free agent James Harden gives us the best chance to win a championship, then you sign him. If he doesn't, then you don't. It's really that simple.

    Check your feelings at the door.

    The early results of this poll are encouraging. I get the feeling that after a solid draft, people are hyped about the rebuild. Fat man is moving further behind us every day! #GangGrene
