    Morey is willing to do some crazy **** to trade for a superstar. I'm sure he thinks Thybulle is a nice piece but there is no way in hell he is going to kill the deal because he doesn't want to give Thybulle lol.

    The Rockets were up 10 and 15 points in Game 6 and Game 7 in the 2018 of the WCF. If the " best scorer in the game" can't get his team to score more than 25 points in the second half of Game 6 who fault is that? If we are up 15 points going into the half of game seven but we still lose the game by single digits whose fault is that? Why doesn't the "leader" do his damn job and lead instead of being a damn chucker in Game 7 of the freaking WCF. 27 consecutive three point misses? Why don't you as the leader James Harden put your head down and say give me the damn ball, get out my way, I'm going to the hoop, we need a bucket? Game 7 went down to the wire. If you are a top 3 player in the league with a game that's down to the wire and with a chance to go to the NBA Finals, isn't that your time to shine and will your team to victory? That's what all the training, games, flights, interviews, your whole life is that moment. And JAMES HARDEN simply CHOKED. But it's really all good bro, I know you won't understand what I'm saying because you're just a James Harden apologist. Harden doesn't give a damn about you, me, these people on Clutchfans, this city, or the Rockets organization. So go ahead, keep defending this guy. But it's people like you and the Rockets franchise as a whole that has enabled Harden into the ring less diva he is today.

    Maxey has already supplanted Thybulle in their rotation. The writing is on the wall for him being moved if a Harden deal comes to fruition.

    I still don't understand how Simmons. And Herro plus woweee Mr Duncan Robinson are rumored to be acceptable packages for the best offensive player in the world. The media is mindfuking the market yet fans fall for it. Raise your expectations folks. Ignore these rumors

    Edit. Can yall imagine possible moving Harden mid season in 2019 for these options?!? Seriously. Do not let a Cinderella Heat run boost the value of the Heat players. Nor should a non star like Simmons be in play. Jesus help us all

    there was a post earlier where the sixers were trying to get buddy from the kings who currently refuse to play him.

    maybe the deal is Simmons + buddy

    He choked vs 4 Hall of Famers. OK. The Warriors were really good my man. Went to the Finals 5 years in a row. No one else in the West won for 5 years. Half of a decade. What's everyone else's in the West excuse. Were there no other stars in the West? James Harden was the Western Conference's only hope to defeat the Warriors? Nope. The Warriors were just better than everyone in the West for 5 years.

    Can we just not do this? Is everyone so sure Harden is going to tank games? Lets just keep him till the deadline???? Cant we do that?

    Lets just win man. Drag your feet and let James see what our roster is about man.

    Don't trade him yet man...even for the sake of Woods development its worth it for a season. See what this team can do and then go for the rebuild, there will be good offers at the deadline or by the off season

    I'm calling the Nuggets for Murray plus + Porter Jr. I'm calling the Suns for Booker. I'm calling Boston for Tatum or Brown+ extra. I'm trolling Morey & Riley just because I can. And then I'll let Harden play bc he is going to play regardless of what we do.

    Got some delusional posters thinking with will power and leadership anyone could have beaten the warriors. Dumbass Harden haters just gotta hate.

    Only Harden coming in as an underdog gets called a choker for losing against the warriors without cp3 at the end.

    Like u mentioned no one could beat the warriors, but here we have some delusional posters stating harden should have carried the corpse of cp3 and willed his team to beat up draymond, curry, Thompson and Durant.

    Agreed. Drag it to the two B2B LAL games at the least.

    Keep James until he pops. :D

    Long, active hands. Great catch and shoot. Elite Role Player is his most likely career. Having an Ariza type for their earliest years. A guy who would likely become a fan favorite. Hustles everywhere and plays great next to Simmons. They definitely would need to come together.

    I mean, we all saw this? Why not? He clearly doesn't want to lose and is still professional. Do we really believe he's gonna act out some more if he sees the team is good? We cant even give this 10 games?

    How much lower would his actual value be if he were to "tank" games. People arent idiots, they know how good he is.
