    TF offered him a $100 million extension. True, it's not begging. . . .
    You're spinning a fake story, for some reason. What the heck?

    I just want to go back to last offseason, when James Harden didn’t want to play with Chris Paul, and solve the problem by trading James Harden.

    We would have gotten a much better deal, and we’d have a surplus of picks, instead of deficits as far as the eye can see.

    we'll wait and see my guy.
    TF will sell us that we will still be competitive as we edge closer to being younger/rebuilding.

    No fking way can a team trading away harden be serious about contending for the ring anytime soon.

    Let’s trade harden. . It’s not like he will play basketball forever. Everybody will retire some day. Can’t wait to see who we will get.

    regardless if a star is disgruntled, shouldn't any serious owner try their best to keep him?
    U hear not a single sht out of the front office as they scramble to get rid of harden.
    It's not fakeness, it's happening right in front of your eyes.

    but u can choose what u want to believe, i don't want to pop your bubble in thinking we are getting a ring anytime soon. rebuild is happenin my dude.

    In a perfect world we go full Process Philly. Instead of the league getting involved to out Hinkie, they boot Tilman for Basketball Reasons. It only works if we have our picks fro OKC back, that is why we are trapped right now. All we can do is compete, we can't tank. All these late firsts from teams getting Harden will be 25-30 picks. I would rather have picks 30-35, cheaper and signed longer.

    So really, why trade Harden for essentially 3 second rounders? I'd hate to see it, but Wiseman, Klay and Minnesota's pick would be the best haul. Then trade Wiseman to OKC for all of our picks back. Get picks for Boogie at the deadline, let Wall expire and get as many first rounders as you can for Wood if he breaks out. Let Klay heal while we tank some more. I'm jealous of OKC's future and NO future. It wasn't long ago that NO was in the same exact position as us, being held hostage by a star player. They waited a year by the way

    And you can keep pretending that the Rockets didn't offer $100 million more to keep Harden.
    Harden wants to dump Houston. You are in bad denial. I know it hurts.

    I think about that too. I also think maybe the Rockets could have done something, anything to get the 9th pick for the Wizards. I think the Israeli kid will be very good. Poor man's Luka/Simmons/Odom hybrid minus 2 inches.

    Offering more money means nothing to a man who wants a ring. U think money is going to get us a ring? Harden doesn't believe we are going to get a ring, cause we are literally in a process of rebuilding while pretending we are "competitive".

    I'm fine trading harden, im just not confident that we will ever get any better chance at the ring anytime soon. Especially with the garbage offerings choices so far.


    Like i said u can believe what u want.

    I feel like I need to stay away from CF this weekend. I can't freaking even tell what is real anymore. Just all sorts of sources saying different things in regards to what will happen.

    Disagree. A haul of Herro + others + assets is a happy medium.

    I think House is a fantastic role player and viable 2way starting wing, especially if he gets his head on straight.

    I think we can swing a trade of EG and picks for a young player or a solid vet near the deadline.

    I like the idea of this team having Herro, Wood, and House; all three of them under 28 years of age with a ton of potential growth.

    Maybe we get a fourth budding star, great. If we don't, we are still set for the near future with flexibility and assets to package.

    Those three can spend the next three years gelling. Imagine the three of them in their prime, plus whoever we can get for EG+picks.

    I think there are many moves to be made that fall between going for gold and tanking. In fact, thats close to where the Heat were at the end of the prior season.

    Harden has checked out dude. He doesn’t want to be here. He still wants to be traded

    How do you fix that?

    He looked engaged to me last night.

    Boils down to FO making it right by Harden.

    Deuce's plan works for me.

    Sign Harden to an extension that he already rejected? There's being hopeful and then there's being delusional.

    You remember Hakeem demanding a trade in the 80's?

    Hakeem wanted out and he was so pissed he cussed out the GM and the owner.

    If that relationship could be mended, I have no doubt Harden-Rockets can mend theirs as well.

    It was much more contentious with Hakeem.

    ‘he’s not a Rocket fan. He likes James. He wants him gone. All Harden fans want James gone. All Morey has to do is give up Simmons. Thybulle and a pick and I bet Stone bites.
