    I bet deep down Harden is regretting leaving the Rockets. He was our boy, but now it doesn’t feel right to bring him back at any point.

    I thought Portland selected Scoot ahead of Houston.

    It's weird how Rockets insiders always have insider information that paints the current MGMT regime in the most favorable possible light

    Tilman is Sicilian descent. I'm pretty sure he knows Harden went against the Rocket family demanding a trade to Brooklyn.

    The only reason James wanted to come back here is because he knew he wouldn't have to shoot like crap in game six and seven in the playoffs because we weren't going to be in the playoffs. He can hit all the strip clubs he wants and tend to his restaurant here.

    I NEVER believed he was coming back to Houston.

    • Stone has spent a considerable amount of time with Udoka over these last few weeks, getting a clearer understanding for his wants and needs. In conversations, Udoka’s preferred style of play has had an influence on the types of players the Rockets are looking for. One area that was also stressed was those that can help improve the young players’ quality of life on and off the court.

    Good thing the Rockets still have options besides Harden in FA like Kyrie, Bruce Brown, Middleton etc

    Preferred type of player is one who will give the Rockets a meeting.

    Moot point. Nobody expected they would have the choice to choose between Scoot and Amen at #4.

    Did he really move heaven and earth? What was their alternative? Keep Ben Simmons? Honestly seems like Sixers still won that trade. Simmons is making max money to not even play cuz he's soo bad.
