    Lebron would never find himself in this situation.

    People were clowning on curry to start this year and look at the Warriors now? The league is lucky Klay is hurt.

    They play with more heart and chemistry than we could ever hope and people were clowning on that team here but when their team was down he didn't throw in the towel. They bucked up and played better and he played better, putting up 30+ games with ease and leading his team back into the fight.

    We are 3-6...and Harden is just done. I get he wants out but he still quit on the team and then threw them under the bus.

    This is the season to be bad. We need to flip Harden, Tucker and EG for real assets. Then we need to showcase John Wall and flip him for picks and expiring money once he shows that he can say healthy.

    I think its the fact we got so thoroughly dominated by the defending champs that has him saying this. THAT is the team he has to go through to get a title and we are nowhere near good enough to beat them in a series. Yes its early but realistically this squad is never going to be good enough this year to beat them. Christian wood is FOOD to bron and AD and so is PJ tucker. This just aint it and james doesnt have time to waste.

    he’s just fed up...the passion isn’t there because he knows this team is nowhere close to contention

    he wants out, and he wants out now

    Kawhi leaves...wins title

    AD leaves...wins title

    Jimmy Butler goes to Miami...makes finals

    Harden is stuck here playing for 1st round exits in the back end of his prime

    he should have thought of that before begging Tilman to trade for Russ. Oh well.

    me either. I think this was his last game. first off he's right we're STILL out here trying to guard lebron with a bunch of minimum salary guys who belong at the end of the bench, and STILL trying to defend AD with a bunch of 6'4 guys.

    however, if I'm Silas or the rest of the players, do we want him back in the locker room or in the lineup next game? nope. does stone have any leverage in trading James now? nope.

    welcome to the Brooklyn nets James. I don't hold it against him. I'd want out too. I'll be rooting for him to win a ring wherever he goes. second greatest rocket of all time.

    Meh....I think losing to Mav's by 50 in GM7(T-Mac era) was pretty bad.

    LeBron quit on the Cavs its so long ago and we can't imagine but he absolutely did. Kobe quit on the Lakers. Its horrible and we hate it but it is a frustrating feeling knowing that your best is just not good enough. I dont care what the record is he went from believing they could be a top 3 team in the league to where we are now; getting clowned and blown out in back to back games. All the players in the locker room should be frustrated at that performance.

    The Rockets Need Lottery Unprotected Picks.

    James Harden, P.J Tucker, Eric Gordon, John Wall all need to be traded for Cap Space.

    High Draft Picks is really needed.
