And Morey failing to listen to Harden about trading Dwight is not good. That's step 1 to ensuring Harden bolts after his contract.

He is just a very small chess piece in history, not among the top 30 greats until he plays decent D.

We should not care that much about him. :grin:

Even if that writer is inventing the "multiple sources" or not, 80% of this BBS wanted McHale fired.

Had someone posted a poll after those first 11 games, "Should Harden tell DM and Les to fire McHale?" would you have voted Yes?

Don't be hypocrites, guys.

INB4 someone says, "Sure I wanted McHale fired, but I didn't want our best player to demand it." smh

Sure I wanted McHale fired...and I hope he burn in hell!

Why in the heck are they trotting out the business guy to address this? Clothes pegs on the nose must be the current fashion at the TC.

Who is the snitch this year? One of the new guys is leaking stuff cause there weren't any stories like this last year and I'm sure the issues were still there.

Draft night trade: Wiggins, KAT, & their lotto pick for Harden. Try to re-sign Dwight but not at full max. Bring back McHale to help develop KAT as a PF.

So Kat and Howard both play center right ?

"If you're the star player and you're going out there trying to lead that team every single night," Harden said, "I think that should be the case."

But is he going out there trying?

Now that's funny! Props to you, sir - and repped!

not quite as funny as James declaring himself the best ALL AROUND player in the league - but pretty darn funny! Does james not understand that ALL AROUND includes defense? lol

Pretty strong denial by Tad Brown.

http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/1...rden-trade-request-demand-kevin-mchale-firing

"I can tell you unequivocally, being part of that [front-office] team, those things have never happened," Brown said prior to the Rockets' 119-105 comeback win over the Portland Trail Blazers. "That's frustrating, and, for whatever reason, it's been a constant throughout this season. As we struggle and as we continue to struggle a little bit on the court, trying to get things to where we want them to be, that people have continued to take shots at our guys, take shots at our team, with unnamed sources being the ones who routinely provide that information."

Brown said the front-office dynamic involving any firing goes through owner Leslie Alexander, himself and Morey

"This, whether it be James coming in demanding to have Dwight traded -- there was an article in the last week where supposedly both James and Dwight came to management and they both wanted each other traded -- that never happened. Where James supposedly came in and demanded there be a coaching change -- that never happened. Dwight came in and said he wanted to be traded -- that never happened. These things comes up and take a life of their own."

What do you expect him to say? That the reports are true and Harden controls the franchise?

What did I expect the HardenHaterHardon lobby to say?

Pretty much stupid **** like this.

How much stronger do you want Brown's denial of these stories to be?

Contrast this with Cleveland management's on-the-record denial following LeBron's ouster of David Blatt? Here is the official on-record statement denying LeBron's involvment:

"LeBron doesn't run this organization. He is about this organization and of this organization... This narrative that we're taking direction from him is not fair to him," Griffin said.

NOT "Lebron didn't get Blatt fired....LeBron didn't lobby for Lue for years, LeBron didn't stage a sit-in and tank a game against Portland" - just a general Al Haig type "we're in control" statement.

I guess though you know better than Tad Brown and Les Alexander what decisions they make and why they made them and who they talk to. Good for you.
