    I would be ecstatic if Harden stays. Let’s be realistic we were never going to get anything remotely close to equal value. I hope they are right. Simmons or Herro are not even in Hardens stratosphere as players

    Given the kind of physical shape he is in, if focuses on making it work this could be a huge year

    I wonder what the logic was to get rid of shootarounds.

    I also wonder why Harden wants them so much. Work on chemistry, or something more?

    I read that 76ers don’t offer Simmons and Heat don’t offer Bam.

    It means to me that Rockets can’t get 50% of Harden value.

    Is there any reason why I should believe Feigen when he says this?

    Nobody on the planet knows the organization better, except for extremely higher-ups within it. Trust me.

    CP3 didn't like them.

    EDIT: Looks like a lot of coaches eliminated shootaround due to science.

    https://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/20/sports/basketball/20sleep.html

    And Harden just loves to hoop.

    And I'm not surprised one bit about Feigan's disclosure that Harden does not get traded THIS season.

    Been saying that all along.

    But I had to LOL at Tad Brown being closer to Beard than Morey.

    Next thing we'll hear is that Tilman was like Harden's best friend, not D'Antoni.

    And for the record it was ranking scenarios not him saying his belief is harden won’t be traded. Just thinks it’s most likely. We’ve learned that probabilities are tricky in this country lol

    I really don’t want to get my hopes up but man I hope there can be reconciliation. Harden with this team and some health luck would be really nice. Plus have some options to make moves.

    I would really love it if the Rockets took care of PJ for at least next season. Worst you can is a $10-12M expiring contract. I would love it if Rockets don't trade James either.

    Feigen actually pointed to Dantoni as being closer to Harden than Morey as well if I understood him right. But believe what you want I guess. I know for a fact that Tad and Harden are close

    I don't know enough to compare the relationships, but Tad and James are definitely very close. It's not laughable.

    That said, I don't want to compare, since it's not like I can say that Daryl and James aren't. But the former definitely have a strong bond, that part is accurate.
