    I'm a KPJ fan and I'm rooting for him to hopefully continue to be a better human being so he doesn't end up in a place he shouldn't be in the first place. Him becoming a good to great player for the Rockets would be the cherry on top, but overall, who cares about basketball, lets hope that he continues on this positive trajectory that John Lucas has him in. It's tragic when young kids throw their life away.

    To be fair he tried for longer than most players stick with a team.

    Harden still loves the city, just not the Rockets owner. Sometimes, divorces have to happen and it's best for both sides in the end.

    Listening to Stone talk today with Wall, I think the Rockets do a masterful job of taking care of their players. Players come from all type of backgrounds; international, impoverish, immaturity, etc.and they need a steadying point. It's good to know they can find that in the Rockets Organization.

    I just wish the Texans would pay attention and do the same. GREAT JOB ROCKETS!

    Ben Simmons can really benefit being with John Lucas, Even if he is not a Rocket.

    Ben Simmons really needs help.
    He is too Arrogant for his own good, plus him not shooting the ball or practicing Free Throws is not good for his Career.

    I love when Scoot said Silas would just talk to him about stuff that wasn't about Basketball. Scary to know where this guy would have been if he didn't land in Houston. For Cleveland to give his locker to someone else just because, seems so unnecessarily callous when they knew about this guy's mental struggles.

    This is the thing I think Stone has on Morey. I'm not one to say Morey was only a numbers guy, but it really seems he drops the ball when it comes to important relationship not named James Harden. Look at what's going on in Philly now and what happened to CP3 (and Dwight.)

    It seems Stone even gave Wood a heads up he was in trade talks.

    That's a kid I can root for.


    Crazy to think a lot of these kids have known each other for a lot of years. Gonna be a fun team. Sengun, who hasn't know the others, fits right in I feel. Not sure about Garuba, but he seems to have Sengun's endorsement.

    Harden never promised to be a tank commander for a rebuild

    KPJ saying that right there makes him a legend. He's about to become a star in this league.
