I've finally reached the point with James where I'll be glad when he's gone

    He's one of the ten greatest players of all time, and the second greatest Rocket to ever lace em up. It's been a privilege to watch him do his thing in Houston.

    But, whenever they can extract the most from him, now or before the deadline..he's gotta go.

    I think we can objectively say he is not a unifying force right now.

    I don't think he's one of the ten greatest players of all time, but I agree with being glad when this church's us over.

    I'll put him as top 50, probably top 30, but not top 10.

    Seriously....

    The Wall trade predicated upon him wanting him.
    Late to camp out of shape.
    No sense of professional ism these days

    You're a good guy obviously and I hope you have patience because it could get dragged till next offseason.

    Just prepare ourselves.

    We need to let Silas do his thing, and James is in the way.

    Hope he plays himself into shape, the earlier the better, he helps himself with a trade.

    Maybe in the 10 - 15 range at worst IMO...

    It's salvageable as far as I'm concerned. But the FO needs to sit down with James and discuss everything that's happened and lay out their plans. If they can get James on board, great. If not, Stone needs to get his ass in front of the cameras and explain to the fanbase where they/we are going from here. Taking shots at one another on Twitter and IG via anonymous sources is some rank amateur BS.

    Agreed, unless he has a serious about face and addresses the situation in a mature way.

    Thanks for that, day...

    However long it takes to set us up for the future under Silas.

    I know by mid season he'll be playing mad ball, but if he doesn't care now I wont mind selling high then.

    keep that same energy and stay glad for all the mediocre basketball and irrelevancy that will likely follow too

    I have defended him and pretty much everyone else in the organization...sometimes to a fault..true..
    But, it's reached critical mass...as far as Im concerned.
    I'll always look back at what he's done as a Rocket with pride, but the dude's not bigger than the Houston Rockets. We've been here for almost half a century.
