    To an extent sure, but Harden had his own shortcomings.

    His fan boys , a lot of who aren’t really rockets fans and just started watching a couple yrs ago are egg for brains. Anybody that watched knew harden was selfish and was a piss poor teammate at times. He was a crappy leader as Mchale called him out to be. I just hope that his dick suckers that jerk off to him night in the dish goto the nets forum with him.

    It's amazing how upset Harden has made you, wow.

    He is gone, take it easy dude.

    Lebron? Or giving CP3 another shot? Or taking what the defense gave you when we were up against GSW in the playoffs? Or communicating with the FO over the offseason so we don't just trade for Wall.

    Nets fans are also raving about Harden's effort and efficacy on defense.

    This is the most I've seen him try on defense in quite a while.

    However, he's still really slow laterally, it's kind of painful watching him fight through screens. They should honestly just switch everything

    I like Wall/Dipo/?/Wood/?.

    Why couldn't we make it work? We may not go all out and suck balls and be the laughingstock of the league for a decade, but we can compete and at least let the future picks come to fruition.

    Who knows, maybe Durant gets hurt?

    I think we could legitimately swing PJ+picks for a young prospect on a contending team.

    I’ll be honest, I don’t feel anything for this new team. Feels like a bunch of castoffs. I hope we draft a star and rebuild in earnest. I couldn’t care less about John Wall and Boogie

    Harden endorsing Silas is wild ... he already knew he wanted out so he could care less who coached the Rockets. He was gonna be on whatever train out of there was available
