James Harden in Vegas night before training camp starts

Agreed. If Harden no longer wants to be a Rocket, then thank him for the memories and trade him as best management can. Imo, Harden is trying to be as toxic as humanly possible so there won't be another choice from the Rockets.

Once he made up his made that he was out of here, there was no going back for him, not even for $50M a year. Ouch.

 

I think it’s just his life style and he’s immature.

 

I think this is all fake news. The Rockets are all a bunch of consummate professionals. Harden is Silas new BFF. Tilman is generous with his cash. Boogie and Wall are healthier than ever before. PJ is happy about his contract. And if there are no rigged games, we are going to win the Championship by ALOT!

 

This is not the manly way to do business. On the other hand I can see what he is doing. The fanbase has a tendency to lean on the Star player when his actions deviate acceptable norms. Its clear that James is setting the tone with Tillman and Stone about what could happen by broad-brush decisions that affect his career. Keep in mind he rejected the Extension more than likely to make a point that he cant be bought and then Puppeteered by Tilman. I like that he is standing up but he isn't doing it in the most classy way. Lebron put up with an abusive self benefiting owner and was underpaid doing it. James is making Silas look like an unprepared ,weak uninformed minion of Tillman. This man doesn't deserve that. Ultimately Silas is going to get squeezed by Tilman and Stone for the teams performance when really the conflict is between the Owner and Star player over a high stakes game of who holds the leverage in Houston. The National Media will torture the city if the Team doesn't have some earlier success. James needs to keep in mind that if he keeps this up he could fool around and get traded to a lottery team that does not have the exotic Night life that he likes. At this point he could be overplaying his hand

 

Salt Lake

 

Should have traded him 2 years ago. It's a clown show anyway when Morey and Dantoni were forced out. I'm surprised Harden hasn't publicly lashed out.

Harden has always known to be passive aggressive, this act seems to fit his character.

 

What's up with celebrities and cryptic tweets? Like why is this a thing?

Either share your personal life or don't.

 

That’s old. I don’t think there’s any pain of him tryna to lose his alpha and become 2nd 3rd fiddle to Kyrie and Durant.

 

They can share however they feel like sharing lol. If being cryptic is their thing, then so be it.

 

$41M ... so much pain
Catered to his every whim ... so much pain
In the club getting “crunk” ... so much pain
Please keep James Harden in your thoughts and prayers.

 

the erection some of y’all have over “Harden’s partying news” is....alarming/interesting and in some cases...soo predictable

 

I'm not putting a gun to their head and trying to stop them. I just find it odd and kinda narcissistic.

 

The sycophantic bootlicking also is predictable.

 

I see you must currently be in one of your refractory periods.

I can only imagine how exciting this has been for you.

 

Well they’re at an airport. Maybe he’s flying back to Houston?

 

Depends if he got fat when he comes back
