    If a counter intelligence surge starts claiming it was all a hoax thereby boosting Russ' value then we'd be stupid not to capitalize and trade him ASAP. If we can get anything close to decent value for him then we have to strike while the iron is hot. Also, I'm not too fond of any trades for cap space since I have this feeling that the if Harden and Russ leave no free agents will want to touch Houston while Tillman is around.

    This franchise was wallowing in perpetual mediocrity for 15 years before Harden was handed to us on a silver platter. But whatever makes you sleep at night man lol.

    Vincent Goodwill was full of sh*t regarding CP3 so Chris Paul was right

    Chris Paul never demanded a trade, and if the relationship was so unsalvageable, why were Harden’s 1st 2 options that summer to add Jimmy Butler and then later Westbrook to form a trio?

    Nah, mang, the whole Rockets staff, management, ownership especially were the problem. They also let Harden do whatever he wanted.

    With positive but also negative outcome.

    The Rockets’ ship floated just fine to the 9th seed every year before Harden arrived.

    Honestly; I think this comes to down both of them wanting to see how the Rockets improve the roster. Right now they are up against the cap, there aren’t a lot of ways to improve the team through free agency. The Rockets are going to have to make a trade. Either to bring in a 3rd star or bring back more depth. I’m sure they want Ibaka here or Derozan or someone like that. If they don’t make any changes and they run this same team back; that tells you Tilman doesn’t care and expect both of them to be gone by the end of next season.

    He has no problem with Harden at all..... he has a big problem with Tilman.

    I believe he wants to leave.

    I think there is truth to the rumor that Tilman wants at least two young players under long term deals back for Harden, if they do trade him at all. That’s for a reason.

    I still miss CP3 in this uniform. Damn that 2017-18 squad was good.

    Westbrook just denied not wanting to play with Harden. He never said he was happy with his role and culture

    Is there a chance Harden and Russ started/planned all this drama in an attempt to get Tillman to spend, and now its a big circus they cannot come back from?

    in some of these backward ass fans’ minds, those 9th seed seasons were a success because they overachieved and played with heart, and the Harden era is a failure

    The only time I ever hear this guy mentioned is some extreme viral screed of Harden / Houston hate takes. Otherwise he's just some rando local news guy from chicago tv

    He must be sad that his meal ticket is now worth less than a Landry's
