    James Harden has been the best basketball player in the world for 5-6 years and he continues to get better. The game has slowed down for him... best player in the world.

    yup...I saw Celtics fans crying and b*tching after their L to BK complaining about how stars teaming up ruins the league because the winner is a foregone conclusion

    well, Harden was on the market, and their GM along with several other franchises weren’t serious about trading for him while BK was willing to put all their picks on the line to get it done

    yeah and he just doesn't simply hand over the ball to harden, he has this system like the warriors that has offball movement and screens

    good thing he's the HC and not MDA

    and he doesn't overwork hs players. he has 9 man rotation. when kd gets back thats a 10 man rotation.

    Ainge blew it bad. Had so many opportunities to acquire multiple stars with all their assets they stacked from the nets and instead watched the nets get everyone

    as if morey and mda wanting Harden on their team is not proof enough. do these GM's think Harden as some kind of voodoo or magic that he hypnotized or put those two in a trance?

    Good thing it is a team sport, and intensified during recent eras.

    Euroball helped it as well.

    They don't need to depend on him to be the only consistent player to hit 3's.

    If this was actually true he might have taken us past the spurs without Leonard, or warriors without curry, or the warriors without Durant.He is going to win a ring this year because he is on a stacked team.

    He quit on the rockets. We got trash for him. Hope he never wins anything.

    I am constantly amazing how Harden gets 100% of the blame for Houston failing from Rockets fans.....

    Usually TMac worshippers or some such

    Rocket River.
    For the record he deserves the blame
    But less than a 4th of it.


    But be bitter

    So you expect Harden to stay here and try to win while every other star in the league jumps teams and teams up. How was he ever gonna get that chance? In his 8 seasons here the Rockets had 2 all star teammates for him?

    While he's going up in the playoffs competing against teams with 3-4 all stars on it each year. Then our second and third best player always get injured. Harden is a great player but he's not super man.

    Warriors lose KD and they still have 3 all stars.. Pretty big margin for error there. Rockets lose Harden and they have now lost 15 straight games....

    The owner quit on the Rockets long before he did, taking every cost cutting measure possible.

    Every single super star (Kobe being a good example) that wants to win would have done the exact same thing he did. The difference is other owners have deeper pockets to try and change their minds.

    If we kept Harden, that same poster will be the first to complain about Harden never winning a title here and saying "why didn't we trade him when the Nets wanted him, all those years ago? Harden was a fraud Rocket great!"
