    That's
    Players are commodities, GM's should try to maximize their commodities. If a GM isn't doing this then they're not doing their jobs.

    Sad but true.

    You're not wrong but Houston was the worst of the bunch. So much so that players started to talk about it

    It begins and ends with Tilman's Trumpian antics.

    If he does not low ball and insult MDA, Morey remains, neither Harden or Russ want out or considering a change.

    But his every move is a crapstorm of epic proportions.

    I'm sure Harden loves Russ but the postseason failure was on him.

    Especially after exposing himself to Covid-19 and coming into the bubble unprepared for playoffs.

    As the 2nd superstar he let the team down.

    If the problem was the coach and GM why would Westbrook publicly ask for a trade as soon as they left?

    Because maybe they weren't.

    It seems impossible for Harden to coexist peacefully with another star on the team.

    I think it'd be good if Russ gets traded, but I think people need to temper expectations. He has probably the worst contract in the league. We will probably get very little value back for him, and that's if we're able to find a taker for him at all. Hope I'm wrong.

    Somehow I expect that it is surprising to Tilman that this is posisble

    For some reason I still love Morey, but if we’re being honest, he royally ****ed this team. He went all in with what he had to work with, and when it didn’t work he bailed before it all bit him in the ass. He had to have seen the writing on the wall. Yes, Tilman is the ultimate problem, no doubt about that, but Morey did his damage too.

    Silas has GOT to be wondering just what in the hell he got himself into. And Rafael Stone? Good luck, buddy...

    Harden is getting blasted on Twitter. People are seriously trying to blame him for this. Dude was literally the only one to show up in the playoffs. Amazing.
