Nice, keep handling this with class Wall. Go out and dominate the Bulls on Friday and Sunday so Harden can get a glimpse of what you guys are capable of. Still think it is a long shot but I know Harden is loyal to the city but needs to be able to trust others in the organization besides Lucas.
The Silas quote is actually very encouraging. He's been very transparent and not trying to blow smoke. "Very good" is not a throwaway comment.
Well that's certainly a hot take. Why don't we see if Stone can build a team that makes the playoffs let alone wins series before we big up him.
I feel that is him saying Harden wants out and that is what he feels is what is good for him and the management will do what’s best for them by getting the best deal in return.
No joke. They are REALLY handling him with kid gloves. He comes in when he comes in. He is in Houston. Coach Silas said "hello" to him. Harden has an individual workout with (surprise surprise) John Lucas. Silas says Harden could be back monday... maybe, no big deal if he isn't Silas throws out the "I look forward to building a relationship with him." The Rockets are slow walking this like a wild animal caught in a trap that they are going to release. I am half expecting Weaver to come out tomorrow and say "I sent him a text reminding him we all love him and accept him as lord and savior" Interesting to say the least...... Wall walked back what he said some...... but the fact that Harden practiced was a real good sign. Better win a title this year (5% chance) or this is all over in a year.
yup this is what I took from what wall said. It's him being a peer and respecting where Harden is at right now. This is a far different tone from last week when Wall said Harden is absolutely going to be playing for the rockets and together
Codeman posted a few hours back the players are behind harden because they know why Harden is angry . I think it is obvious it is Tillman related
player relationships are completely different if someone is looking through the lens purely as a fan. The players especially marquee ones, will always be behind their fellow peers in these type of cases. If outsiders can see Tilman's dumbass is a problem, there's obviously something there. Whoever is in denial at this point about Tilman's part is just naïve
