    bro we will see. Harden meat eating dies in the playoffs after he ***** on your fandom.

    when that double comes get ready to cry and blame the people around him for not giving him any help.

    Harden doesn't need a chip. i get it. He will be the greatest regular season player on earth.

    What are your arguments to say FVV is a better player than Harden besides assumptions

    You realize this thread is comparing James' impact to Fred's, right? What have you said so far that's even remotely relevant to that?

    rockets are the 2 seed. If Harden is here I dont think the rockets would be as good as they are

    harden is not dumping the ball off to sengun to cook in the post
    harden is not deferring to Jalen
    harden is not selling out on defense.
    Harden is taking all those winning time shots that should go to Jalen or Sengun

    Fred's impact is being a guy in (this) system not the engine.

    If you say so. I guess we'll see how this season finishes.

    Fred and Harden may actually end up going head-to-head.

    Sad that I wanted Harden to return to the team I began watching him on and the team chose Fred instead? I guess.

    Look, I understand. I still like Harden, he gave his 8 best years to Houston. His shine kinda got lost when he thrashed us to get out of Houston, but it's Fertits and we were a dumpster, I understand. That being said, there is no way I'm cheering for any other team than the Rockets. Harden can have all the success in the world, but once we face him, I hope he has epic flameouts every single game we play him. Any of our players leave and I wish them success, against everyone except the Rockets, simple as that.

    What kinda argument is the 1st point? If Steph Curry wanted to come here you would say no because our seeding is better without him?

    He has no issues giving it to Embiid or Zubiac, what makes you say he wouldn’t give it to Sengun?

    He’s had no problem deferring to CP3, KD and Kyrie, Embiid and maxey, Norman Powell and Leonard?

    Clippers have had a top ranked defense even with Leonard being out, harden has played the most minutes on the clippers? You don’t think these rockets would make up for him like the Clippers do? Also FVV is not the defender you think he is.

    How do you know that when he’s had no problem deferring to other players?

    nobody is rooting against the rockets, it’s just discussions. Harden would be better than FVV for a multitude of reasons heading into the Playoffs

    Dummy, I asked you 2 simple questions you could not answer. This has nothing to do with salaries. This tells me you do not know what right looks like.

    The entire discussion of salaries is irrelevant in this case. @BallSoHarden did not and could not answer 2 simple questions that had nothing to do with salaries.

    If you are referring to 17-18 western conf finals houston had 2 HOF and all stars. same in 18-19. that is if you even believe that the designation "all-star" means that a team is better or the player themselves are better.

    You picked a fight over a post that I said I think Fred is Mediocre and threw an absolute tantrum.

    You have to be one of the worst posters on here since you are saying Fred is in the same league as SGA, Ja Morant, Kyrie, Luka, Haliburton, Foxx, Brunson, Lamelo Ball, Steph Curry, Lillard, Trae Young, Jamal Murray, Cade Cunningham, Tyrese Maxey, Darius Garland. When anyone can easily name 15 point guards that are better than Fred, you have to accept that he is mediocre because that is literally half of the leagues starting PGs. You have to be mentally challenged to even try to argue that Fred is better than all of these guys, or in the same tier, because that is literally what you are implying when you threw a fit over my non controversial comment. Again, dude no one cares about your ridiculous takes, just put the fries in the bag and move on. No one needs to answer your dumb questions, no one owes you a thing bro, sorry you failed in life and need to act tough on a forum. You must have a weird obsession w Stephen A since you are trying to act like him, ESPN is not going to hire you.

    You still haven’t answered 2 simple questions with anything basketball related or any in depth analysis. I see you don’t have the capacity to articulate this. Instead you write lengthy responses about nothing. You don’t even understand contracts yet open your big mouth about the topic.

    I’m hardly one of the worst posters as I invite you to read my in depth analysis in my previous posts. I also said nothing about Fred being “better” whatever that means. And judging by your response I would say you’re the agitated one.

    Harden, Booker, Ant Edwards. What do all 3 have in common? All had Opportunities to win it all with great teams yet failed in the biggest moments and times of their careers.

    U can b a rockets fan and still admit that fvv is inferior to harden. Straight up delusional if u think harden isnt able to have greater success with this team than fvv as it is right now.

    Fvv is averaging 14ish pts, he isnt doing anything vital to our team that any competent pg cant do.

    I think Harden is the better player overall. But for this team I am glad we have Fred. I am certain Harden would have more problems playing more in service to our younger players. He will have more problems adjusting to Imes system.

    We are not winning the championship this year, so the development of our young players is most important. And for the development of our young players Fred is the better options.

    We immediately went on our longest losing streak of the season and played our worst ball when FVV went down.

    But he’s not vital to our team? Sure thing.
