    Why doesn’t Iko just say, I’ve got to post something to keep my job, so I’ll throw this against the wall. Journalism in this country is in such a horrible place.

    I’d rather have FVV at 2/80 than Harden at 3/150.

    Sounds about right. He makes no sense with the team roster that we have now. You blow up the team and trade everything to go for a championship with Harden now. Otherwise now its time to build your team up to start winning games and look about getting a team into the playoffs and building off that.

    The media was so ready to clown the Rockets for paying him the max. They need to pivot to something new now.

    So which party was confused when it was being widely reported that a reunion was inevitable this off season?

    Did James think the Rockets were offering the max? Did the Rockets think James was going to accept less than the max? Or was the media and Pat Bev just making **** up?

    This.

    “Harden was never going to take a discount”
    “Houston was never going to pay him or offer him the max.”

    So why did Kelly Iko and every other insider said he was strongly considering Houston (if neither of those things were never happening?)

    In fact, Iko said 70%.



    In fact(2), two weeks ago he said

    “If you ask me personally, I think he’s coming back.”

    Does he think that Morey will offer him 50M/yr now that there's no one to negotiate against? Good luck.
