    Harden had the stats that said he would be a super star before that finals. Give me a freaking break, that one playoff series has you gassed up.

    There are other contenders that will be coming in the future its not just Lebron leaves and no more contenders. Not how it works. You take the opportunities while you have them. And with Harden with Jokic that is title right there.

    And there are no 8-10 year windows in the NBA, you take the opportunities while you have them.

    How is harden jokic a title? You dont honestly believe that. Harden, jokic and who again? Old man milsap? Get real that isnt going to beat lebron, AD, and their deep AF roster.

    I believe that. Harden has never played with a big as good a Jokic ever. Those are two top 10 players playing together. And in this scenario MPJ would still be on that squad. Same with either Garry Harris, WIll Baroton or Bol Bol. PJ Dozier is also another good young player. That can def beat Lebron and AD. Get off their jock.

    If you have nothing better to do then read the opinions of "idiots" then I feel bad for you. Hope your life turns around soon. Best of luck.

    What in the world are you even talking about.

    When have the Rockets stated just once that they've got all these amazing offers?

    When in actuality the opposite is true and it's always been reported that the offers haven't been up to the Rockets' standard.

    Q: Ira, it happened so fast. Take us back to the Heat backing off on James Harden? -- Len.

    A: A few things. It did not happen so fast. Instead it built to the point where there was a line drawn when it came to being kept on the hook by the Rockets. But more than that, Pat Riley is not going to let himself get played. The last time trade talks grew protracted, it wound up getting ugly between Riley and the Timberwolves’ Tom Thibodeau (although perhaps not as ugly as reported). In that case, the Heat allowed the situation to simmer through the start of the season. This time, it would have become increasingly uncomfortable to keep coming across players such as Tyler Herro, Andre Iguodala and Kelly Olynyk at AmericanAirlines Arena and act like there was nothing going on. So, for now, nothing is going on -- until it potentially picks back up at more of a happy medium. No news flash here, but James Harden will not be finishing his career with the Rockets. Now, whether he finishes it this month, this season, or thereafter, remains the question.

    Thanks for the advice, and here is one back to you.

    If your feeling really got hurt that badly from an open internet forum that someone else finding joy from reading sh't, you may consider to turn off your phone and switch back to Nokia instead.
