    harden isn't going to want to play with this coach for long ...there will be a rift coming soon. The downfall from d antoni is real. Mike was the perfect coach for his play style

    Trade Harden and move on. As long as this organization keeps picking Harden it will keep ending up in the same spot. Just in the middle of the playoffs somewhere but never in the NBA finals.

    Harden don't want to be here,trade him and start a rebuild.If he wins elsewhere then good for him.We can't keep Harden forever and at some point he will decline.This current roster is not championship material.Lets rebuild with Wood and the new young player.

    Move on and rip the bandaid off. This isn't about the coach, this is about the talent and the ability to upgrade the talent.

    if you didn't notice Harden doesn't want to play for this city/team/coach period and he announced it months ago but yet our trash owner is still holding onto him like some jealous ex.

    If you mean a coach who lets harden do whatever he wants, yes, D'Antoni was the perfect coach .... to get eliminated in the playoffs.

    Can we get rid of both. Name one thing Silas has done right on the court. Looks like garbage on both ends of the floor

    Tillman ain’t paying anyone that’s not working for him. Silas will coach through his contract no mater how well this goes.

    Well, we can't trade Silas for anything, and Harden hates the owner so it would make no difference. So.... given this false choice... I trade Harden.

    Let’s at least give him some players that actually want to be here first. He was dealt a terrible hand.

    Probably move Hardens for good (not great) players in return. We will be better than with Harden, but not going to contend for a while. Right now Harden is not working and the supporting cast is not working.

    He's not Ty Lue. That's all I got.

    There's nothing to pick, the team is just waiting for the trade deadline to maximize their return for Harden.

    This team, especially James Harden, looks like they don't practice. No boxing out, every shot looks difficult, they don't know when to switch on defense, etc. There is definitely a James Harden not engaged (or not himself) problem but it looks like there is more to it.

    They are minimizing their return with Harden with these performances. We should have done this before the season started.

    I find it difficult to understand that some continue to insist that this is a good team. This team is not even competitive.
    There are two ways to go, trade Harden and rebuild or trade for some pieces that improve this team. But it must be now.

    They have talent to look better than this. Harden is a superstar.
    Wood has talent
    Wall


    The warriors don't have more talent than us and have a better record

    It's coaching

    I'm a big proponent at digging deep in dire times, but I think even I have given up for the time being. This just isn't a contending team.

    Things went downhill ever since we traded Paul. Wall is a nice player, but he isn't as smart of a defender and isn't as efficient offensively. Teams are still sagging off on him which they would never do vs CP3. Teams are double teaming Harden every time he has a favourable 1 on 1 matchup, and we don't have the personnel or coaching to exploit these advantage situations. I don't see this changing any time soon, so I would rather move on from Harden and look to rebuild for 2-3 years down the road.
