    It's really tough to overstate how bad last off-season was. All of the good moves we made in season were to get rid of the guys we signed - none were remotely workable in our offense. Just attrocious on all fronts. Plus the game we played with house to save a little from the luxury tax probably hurt our seeding (we might have won a game or two with him and not been fighting for seeding at the end of the year).

    These are moves that are embarrassing for a fan base and team jockeying for the championship. It would be understandable if we were 9th or 10th seed or at the bottom of the league. But this was the behavior of a FO of a contending team. I cannot think of another team that did anything remotely similar to this (everyone else stacked their squads and went wildly over the cap), but this team did not. Would not be surprised to see players like James upset and want out.

    “James is doing exactly what the coach and organization are asking him to do...” - Austin Rivers

    But your other points are fine. He’s on the first year of a supermax and Morey and most the fan base love him.

    Going nowhere.

    Or the statement that was verified by someone who was inside the locker room, who is no longer employed by us with zero reason to lie about it, is true.

    And the James is a diva who gets everything he wants, his way statement put forth by fans(generally ranging from Harden hater to disliker) on a message board with zero real information is just a bunch of bullshit.

    Both those statements likely are true.... Stupid smiley face emoji

    That’s because you are a moron! But you already knew that.

    Chicago
    Indy
    New York
    Miami
    Denver
    Cleveland
    Boston
    Portland
    Memphis
    Detroit
    Atlanta
    San Antonio
    Dallas
    Sacramento
    Brooklyn
    Clippers
    Charlotte




    Those are just some of the teams that he would automatically become the franchise player and have his. Own team in day 1. Damon you are a jackass

    Harden is arguably the second best player to ever play for this franchise so even if he wants to get traded I doubt the Rockets would grant his request. He is under contract for the foreseeable future
