(Another Harden thread) Stephen A says the Rockets aren’t giving Harden a Max deal.

For sure. That's why when national media is asked about players coming here they're first response is "I'm not sure with the whole KPJ culture there"...

Go light it up somewhere else fool.

 

Max or not, I've never felt more confident that the Rockets will offer Harden more money this offseason than anyone else.

My guess would be 3 years near max or 2 years at max which I believe will be significantly higher than anyone else including the Sixers.

 

Ah, so you have no thoughts of your own, you are just parroting what "national media" says.....well they also say the Rockets are shopping Jalen Green....will you choose to believe that since "national media" said it, or will you disagree because you are a cultist?

Like I said kiddo, there's been absolutely no evidence of that narrative....it's just something that keeps being repeated, just like the "Rockets shopping Jalen Green" talking point.

You can choose to mindlessly believe the national media talking points, but you'll have to believe all of them. As for me, I require evidence....and everything we've seen from KPJ recently says the narrative is BS.

That's not to say that he wasn't rude to some random nobody who got butt hurt about it, I'm sure that's why quite a few "insiders" are upset, but I just don't give that kind of thing any weight.

 

I know you don't want to hear it because it defeats your narrative, but it's out there. Even mentioning what one dude said about Green is another way of building on your narrative. The whole team sucks except for your boy. We get it. But keep in mind, it isn't just one source spitting the Porter ish. Hear it regularly across many platforms. Ex players, ex coaches, long time NBA voting media members. I'm sure it's BS. It's a conspiracy.

Wah Wah Waaahhh.....

 

So, that's you saying that you agree that the Rockets are looking to shop Jalen Green then?

I'm just trying to get some consistency from a simpleton who is merely looking to confirm his own bias.

Take a while to think about it.

 

Yes I'm just a simpleton Superman.

Thumbs up!

And No. It was me stating one nobody brought up JG possibly being shipped (probably as a form of click bait) as opposed to the overwhelming consensus stating your boy is a problem.

 

A lot of national media types have talked about the Rockets shipping Jalen....something you have to agree is true due to how you don't think for yourself.

Don't worry, I know this is over your head. I don't actually expect you to follow along in conversation.

 

Is this how you respond to any argument in your life? Throwing out names and insults instead of backing up your ish with something factual?

Get wrinkled much?

 

Honestly, I don't really engage with the dregs of society that often in real life. In real life, you have to maintain standards, but you can slum it here for laughs.

 

Why in the hell would they?

 

Sometimes you need a change. I could see him staying in Hou but giving up and falling faster. Sometimes the grass isn’t greener, even if it’s dying on your side. Coming back to Hou might be the spark and motivation he needs to have that end of career mid-30s renaissance.

Wouldnt pay him anywhere near max unless it was like 2 years. Then I might just say why not, we can go to playoffs and still develop. Or we can sign him for less and maybe longer and use rest of cap space to add considerable talent to get closer to “all in” though maybe at the expense of some assets and development time.

I think there’s upside no matter what next season. I’m very eager for October to get here. Not getting 1 or 2 will sting tomorrow, should it happen, but regardless of pick, I’m confident this team will show major improvements next season.

Bet!

 

This man ain't changed y'all

 

Philly needs a new coach regardless. I just don’t see how they get a lot better though. They need a guy next to Embiid that is better than Harden or Naxey.

 

Priceless

 

Coach killer, GM killer, franchise killer.

He'll never win a championship but at least he has those titles locked down.

 

Have you ever had an argument where you didn't use "the media" as a talking point? Honest question. If there's a playbook for lazy arguments this one has to be on the first few pages.

 

In Morey's situation, it would make sense to go after Lillard, should he become available. Maybe some kind of wild four-team point guard trade sending Harden to Phoenix via SnT, Lillard to Philly, CP3 to Memphis (who are gonna need some point guard help for awhile thanks to Ja's stupidity), and picks/filler flying around to balance out all the moving parts.

 

stephen a is a bozo

 

I'm talking to a simpleton who is parroting media narratives in some instances and denying them in others... that was the point I was making.

Sorry, I thought that was obvious but I do tend to overestimate my audience from time to time.
