Woj: Harden Return?

100% if we can get him on a deal that ensures he's essentially retiring as a Rocket and not a deal that sets a precedent for him leaving to title chase a year from now if this team is a dumpster fire with a crappy culture.

I think it would mean alot to the franchise to bring him back in, and have him be the aging legend. The legacy of our franchise would benefit for sure too.

However this all hinges on whether or not he's bought in on being a mentor & steady hand to these youngsters, and if he's okay being an underdog most likely for the next while.

 

Im starting to get gassed up about James coming back. Hope it happens! He would command the locker room. Question is who would he pick as coach??

 

Oh I agree, the only way I want Harden is if we get Wemby. I was just saying the way I'd do it in a world where we had Harden and Henderson.

 

yes

that’s why you see and hear of him being here all the time. He is.

 

Kevin McHale working daily with Wemby like he did with KG, DR34M works with Wemby when he's in town.
Welcome back Milkhair.

 

Force = Mass x Acceleration

Green might not have the mass, but he definitely has the acceleration!

 

I asked if you know the personal reason, not that If there is a personal reason.

 

Dang. KI, Luka and Team bombing the Sixers out of the Arena.

 

Harden-3 years (mutual option on 4th). 33 million a year.

Dillon Brooks- 4 year 16 million a year.

Honcho+Sengun+Clippers pick for Myles Turner

Tate+Christopher+Nets assets for Bridges.
#3 pick is Brandon Miller.

Turner/Garuba
Smith/KMJ
Bridges/Eason/Miller
Green/Miller
Harden/Green/Ty

 

Harden Turnovers in the clutch....

 

Haha. Now THAT is rich!!

 

33 mil a year for Harden?

put down the pipe bro.

 

I get the feeling Jimmy Butler could be available for a trade.

 

Kyrie just hugged JH after the game and they embraced each other.

Hatchet buried? Kai and James together in H Town?

 

I'm telling y'all. he'll ask for everyone to be traded for a superstar within 8 games of returning. He looked so frustrated playing with young guys like Paul Reed and McDaniels today. Dunno how he could last a season of mentoring 20 year olds. And I don't think he's interested in carrying teams anymore because he'll have a great 1st half and then be a non-factor in the 2h just deferring the ball over and over again.

 

He wants to play with Green because they are tight. I doubt he wants green traded. . As for the second half, The Sixers reverted to their bad old habits of Embiid post ups and the offense slowed to a crawl.No flow. It took embiid and harden off the floor for maxey and others to start pushing the pace like they did without embiid 24 hours earlier in Miami.

Maxey and Embiid can’t play together .

 

Kyrie? Really? Do you hate the Rockets that much you would wish that curse upon them?

 

Believe me... Harden ain't coming to Houston at a discount

 

Nice try. The guy had 27 points 13 assists on 12 shots. Trying to make it out he had a bad game.

 

There's some rumors flying around that he'll take 1+1 deals going forward. Not necessarily a discount but still, it's not a guarantee he'll only seek the 4 year max imo
