Maybe but then their flexibility is tied up. Managing a team isn't about being able to "absorb" a contract. It's about maintaining flexibility...
What does "better" mean? They have two hall of famers and currently have plenty of experienced players. In the NBA, if you have the "better"...
Why is it a given that the "better" player is better for team development? The Rockets don't have "scrub" players. The Rockets have young...
Again, it was never about what they were going to accomplish this year. That is revisionist history. It was ALWAYS about developing a team of...
Agreed. And FVV has a more flexible contract. Harden wanted a long term max extension.
You need to stop. Nobody is calling Harden a "locker room cancer".
Yep, the Rockets need another PG, for sure. Rockets were hoping that Reed would be the backup this season and grow into a starting caliber PG in...
If you are comparing Harden to FVV straight up, you are doing it wrong. But let's look a little deeper at a few other stats. Looking at their...

Have you checked the standings recently? FVV is calling scoreboard.
If you are going to accuse people of having 6th grade education, you might want to avoid 6th grade grammar errors during the accusation. But you...
EXACTLY! FVV is the right guy, for now, but he isn't the future. If we have the next Harden on the bench right now, they have to develop...
It's far from over. The question is NOT who is the better player. That is easy. Harden has always been and will continue to be the better...
When you pass away, what will people say about you? I don't think he was the greatest mayor that ever lived but there can only be one "greatest"...
We'll see. As of right now, the Rockets are in free fall. All they really need is a reliable 4th quarter scorer. That player isn't on staff...
Situational awareness. The landscape is constantly changing. What they thought their position was 5 months ago (or even 1) is irrelevant. If...
