    No one really wants to come here and play for an owner who's doesn't have the whatever it takes or whatever it costs to win. Again Tillman can sell the team in 10 or 20 years for 4 billion plus. Bring the city some sort of pride. The city has been through hell.

    It's strange that Harden thought it was a good idea to show up to camp after a very short off-season so out of shape -- honestly it's weird an elite athlete in his prime could even put on that much weight so fast. James better get that weight in check or he's going to be one of those guys that balloons up to 400+ pounds after he retires.

    Lmao not according to some. It was obvious he was dropping his trade value and sabotaging the team. Some folks don’t care doe

    The rockets should have held out like pelicans. Maybe we could could have got murray or brown or something more than a scratch off ticket a long time away.

    The NBA will bounce the ping pong ball our way , no doubt. They threw Cleveland a bone after Lebron left.

    If the Rockets are in the bottom 3 it will be a surprise if they don't hit on a top 4 pick. Just don't see the nba doing them dirty like that after the rockets gifted the league NY vs LA. On top of that this is still a large market with ties to China.

    So was Westbrook’s sob story about “culture”, presumably caused by the Harden’s enormous influence, legit or not?

    Weren’t we led to believe Russ wanted about because of the team’s lackluster culture, and because he wanted to be “the man” again?

    This article suggests he wanted out because Harden wanted out.

    I still think it was time to rebuild we weren't winning a title with Harden/Westbrook and we know it and even the Harden stans know it.
