Former Rockets Tracking Thread

Harden reportedly will sign a 2 year $70 mil contract to stay with the Clippers. Player option for 2nd year.

 

Russell Westbrook on the move?
Russell Westbrook opted into his $4 million for this 2024-25 season, and now the Clippers are working to find a trade for Westbrook, league sources told Yahoo Sports. The Nuggets have already considered avenues to add Westbrook, sources said.

Talk about doing him dirty after he opts in.

 

KPJ signing with the Clips. WOW! Didn't see that coming

 

Harden with 4 yrs and $138 million over his last two contracts. Nice work. Especially since he’s washed up.

 

Crazy good deal for the Cliippers.

What a world where FVV makes more than former MVP James Harden. For that price I wish we brought him back.

 

The curse of Chris Paul trade: where ever he goes his team will have a better record than us! Darn! Third in Texas again!

 

Not this time.

 

He probably would have asked for the full max if he had to play here.

 

Huh? Rox had the higher seed than OKC so thats not true from start.

Also Rox were like tanking for the past 3 yrs so it makes sense Cp0's team will have a better record in the regular season. Stop creating false narratives.

 

I mean NOW. I dunno why he'd ask max from us but only 35M for clippers.

 

Hometown discount, he has been humbled, he has been educated on how the cap works vs talent on the court, not dealing with a rookie front office, learned from his mistakes as he ages, and knows he is not going to get it anymore.

our beard and todays James Harden are not the same person, just like hopefully you have changed over the years.

 

I am pretty sure its the same James Harden.

 

Its been a couple mos since he said Morey is a liar to signing 35M with Clippers.

 

AIR BUD!

The Remarkable Reinvention of Chase Budinger
Injuries may have cut Budinger’s basketball career short, but they didn’t end his Olympic dream. How did the former NBA role player become an American beach volleyball star?

After three years with Arizona, he declared for the pros and was selected by the Detroit Pistons with the 44th pick in the 2009 NBA draft. He was immediately traded to the Rockets, where he established himself as a key contributor off the bench. He was starting to find his groove, and his body felt strong. As far as injuries, “I felt like I was indestructible,” he says.

 

Blake Murphy: The Raptors are signing Bruno Fernando, per a source. It’s a non-guaranteed deal. Basically, come in to camp and compete for a roster spot. Some guarantees would kick in if he makes the team. Not an Exhibit 10; he’s not 2-way eligible, no 905 implication.
