Harden (last year): "CP3 is not working out. I want to be reunited with Westbrook." Harden (one year later): "Westbrook is not working out. I want to be reunited with Durant."
As long as Silas and his crew will get a chance to coach Harden and Russ I'm good. If they aren't convinced to stay, then they can go. I won't be rooting for any of them if they leave. Tilman sucks, but I'm convinced Morey screwed the Rockets on purpose with the Russ trade and schemed his way out of Houston. I wish the worst for his career too. this coming from a Morey stan.
Why would Houston want to down-grade to Irving when they couldn't get over the hump with Harden. They should be looking at a young star ala Simmons/Booker to build around if they trade Harden out. If it's not kings ransom deal, hold off, there is plenty of time to trade and better offers will come. I'll take a season of Harden pouting if it means a better deal.
I don’t know if I’d go as far as to say Morey did it on purpose, but I don’t buy the narrative that both he and harden had their hands tied and Tillman said this is happening no matter what. Then he just skips town. It’s bs. And harden is trying to do the same. Ridiculous. Screw them and the folks on here who are now philly fans.
Has nothing to do with Fertitta, after destroying the franchise, Harden doesn't want to waste the rest of his prime rebuilding what he destroyed.
The only way this could work is a three team deal. If Brooklyn thinks their offer is worth Harden- take that same offer, tell Brooklyn to see what they can get for it- then bring it to us and we’ll let you know. I dislike what Fertitta has done to our organization, and James has had some PHENOMENAL years here in Houston- but we nor ownership nor Rafael Stone owe James Harden a ******* thing. If it doesn’t make sense, don’t do it. Do not let James dictate where he wants to go for some ******* peanuts
Its time to move on we aren't going to win with Harden as the focal point of the team lets blow it up and start over.
