I think that the best scenario for the Rockets and Harden is for Harden to play his last 1-2 years in Houston, coming off the bench. That is not now.
35/yr is still a tad high, but as it nears 30, I begin to get interested. 4 years - Yikes..We'll see how t's structured.
I keep telling y'all Hardhead don't like us. He just wants our women and our money. He ain't interested in nothing that has to do with winning. He is a glorified loser. Huck James Farden!!
That’s around 36 million a year. That’s about right. As long we don’t give him 50 million a year that’s good. Enough
Harden will have Udoka fired a few games into the season and the culture will go back to what it was before Harden left with Harden having all the power he wants.
It was really odd Tilman brought up Harden at the Ime press conference. Obvious he's going to give him whatever he wants for his twilight years and then Harden can be the worst contract Tilman has ever seen and trade him for Ben Simmons.
if a scrub like kpj gets to do whatever he wants, imagine what someone like harden who's actually good can do!
4 years $140M would be kinda borderline, but if it's like $40M, $45M, $35M, $20M (partial guarantee) I guess I wouldn't be too upset. I still think it's too much though. They damn well better not trade the pick for some roleplayer though.
If Harden comes back it sounds like it will be in the mid-30 mil range, which I guess I can live with. I hope that 4th year is a team option though. I’m not wild about Harden coming back, but he is a top 20 player and one of the best point guards in the league. I’ll just have to trust that Udoka’s voice will be the predominant one. This is starting to feel inevitable so i better try to get right with it. He’s fat btw. Me an my friends call him “fat Harden” (like the fat Elvis phase)
Think our guys would learn a lot from Harden offensively. Just being around. Just watching. And he will make some of them better with the assists. But wrong time and wrong place if u ask me. The team would be better off learning without a crutch to lean on, especially a crutch that won't be here long term.
If you go down his timeline he seems to have been accurate about a lot of stuff regarding harden during his nets years as well… . He clearly does have some contacts in hardens camp
