    I think it has more to do with the draft tonight.

    It was my dog that bit Kenny. Philly then felt guilty and overpaid him ;)

    Morey would have loved him. Basically Carl Landry before Carl Landry.

    Codman is saying Morey sees the future in Dwight Howard and not James Harden.

    Does he hint that Harden's heart isn't in to this team, or that his wants aren't a championship?

    Where did you guys get that Harden's heart isn't in it? He was talking about Asik. Then he goes on to say that Harden is trying to build the same brotherhood he has in OKC here. So I doubt he's going anywhere.

    Cod's comment on Wes Unseld passes, would indicate Kevin Love. Wes was fantastic at outlets and Love is similar.

    I can believe it. Asik isn't a slouch by any means. He is a legit top 10 center in the league when he is a starter.

    I'm assuming this is referring to Eric Gordon?



    This has to be about Asik. He wants to bury the hatchet and work on being part of the team again because the Rockets are contenders. He don't want to be exiled to a lottery team because he's been to the playoffs throughout his career in Chicago and Houston. But too little too late...


    This could be in reference to Lin....Parsons....Harden..?


    This "brother" has to be LeBron. James and Dwight has played with him and seems to have enough of a friendship to want him here. Our fans will definitely embrace him. That being said, if LeBron is a clear-cut option, then some of the family will have to be sacrificed (e.g. Lin and maybe Parsons) to get LeBron here.

    James had the family in OKC. He's building it here. Morey's trying to as well (obviously) but the brotherhood could change in a quick second if you have different brothers. In this whole equation, there is one guy that is the brother that satisfies Morey, the fans, the players (all of them) and our chances.

    What I got from codmans post is that morey could trade harden to get melo and sign Lebron, which could change the brotherhood in a quick second. He goes on to say "there is one guy that is the brother that satisfies Morey, the fans, the players (all of them) and our chances.", which has to be Lebron.

    Unfortunately for harden, he's building a brotherhood here too which will end if it means Lebron wants melo to join him in houston?

    I don't know if that makes sense to Yuall, lol.

    Key word... "trying". Until the new guy shows nothing but heart in the playoffs and earns the respect from both fans and teammates, while Harden showed... well that's been beaten to death you should all know.

    I really hope Codman is right because our championship hopes are better pinned on Howard then Harden... I think if we can get another hungry wing in place of Harden, we can really build a TEAM here. Players want to win and they know the dedication it takes, does anyone really see that kind of dedication in Harden. I sure as hell don't, not in his phony exit interviews and definitely not in his play.

    Although I wish Lin a fresh start, I have to agree with what you said above 100%. I would do the same if I were Morey.

    That's reference to Ryan Anderson of New Orleans

    Took it the same way.

    James had the family in OKC. He's building it here. Morey's trying to as well (obviously) but the brotherhood could change in a quick second if you have different brothers. In this whole equation, there is one guy that is the brother that satisfies Morey, the fans, the players (all of them) and our chances.

    Harden has the family in Oklahoma City. He's (trying) building it here, Morey too, but it could change quick if you have different brothers. (LeBron wanting to play with 'Melo).

    BUT

    But he said right after he has no insight into LeBron.

    So who knows?

    No, it does not make sense. Harden is not going anywhere.
