    You are thinking about Chase Budinger. Remember, "Hey Bud, lets party".

    If he really wants to be traded, step up and be an adult and just say it instead of having your mom get on social media and all these "sources" saying you want to be traded. Always defended Harden but he wanted the spotlight, so here it is...step up and man up and just say what you want.

    This is what I see happening. Not sure what his contract says about missing practices and games...if there's any penalties in there for it. The Rockets don't have to do s*** and I'm glad they aren't (so far). If he wants to come back and play as part of this team WHILE they look for an acceptable deal, then fantastic. If he's going to be a whiny little b****, let him sit and fine him. They absolutely need to hold strong and not just trade him for the sake of trading him.

    He's never done that in his entire career. He's always a cryptic little b****. "I know what we have to do" remember?

    2 picks seems alright.

    Why not give up on Embiid....make Simmons a post play threat too.

    No, he wouldn’t. He is wanting to acquire Harden at the cheapest cost. The Rockets don’t owe anything to him or to the rest of the 76’ers.

    Yeah, when will he speak or is he gonna dodge the media like Kyrie, then cry later “Y’all got it all wrong. It’s taken out of context. I never said this, I never said that. Fake news!”

    This update sounds like regurgitating their old takes instead of new ones. Repeat to stay relevant and continue artificial narrative.

    I won't say it's cryptic, it is an empty promise.

    Many stars do that to show their confidence is still intact. Not everyone can back it up.

    that's exactly my point. He won't say anything, won't own up to anything so I'm not trading him. Sit it out and lose your paychecks. Tired of all these players holding a franchise hostage. Ownership hasn't been the greatest so if that's you're issue then step out and say it and be done with it.

    The impression I got from Wall is he has taken control of the team, it seems like he and Cousins planned on making a run together which is why he wanted out of Washington in the first place. I wouldn't be surprised he saw Harden as a trade asset in the first place.

    Had many pieces.

    PJ, Ego, Covington when he was still here, JH, BenMac.....

    I am not sure Wall knew which pieces would go into the deal.

    You're both right. My bad! Dekker is the dude who owns a remodeling company, one that installs decks, as well as hot tubs. "Dekks Are Us!"

    I know everyone is bummed about Harden but this is best case scenario news considering he wants out. He's going to be professional, realizes the Rockets need leverage to make a move, thus they will get the best return possible for him.

    I'm excited to see what they get out of the deal. Just don't want to include Gordon in there to save $, maximize the return at all costs.
