    “I know exactly what we need to do.” You’re either naive or delusional if you don’t think Harden had preferential treatment and was free to do whatever dafuq he wanted to do.

    That last part is on Tillman. No way around that.

    Curry had no business even getting that close considering the roster he was playing with. Besides his legacy was already set. 3 X Champion and 2 X MVP. He’s the greatest shooter of all time. A game that’s been around for 75 years. Good luck cheering for your boy again next year. Still chasing that elusive ring he’ll never get.

    If he’s gonna party like it’s going out of style…. all the time… even during Covid, hang out with lil baby stoners and come in out of shape that’s on Harden and only him. How is that on Tilman or anybody else for that matter? Tilman is not a babysitter and Harden is a grown ass 31 year old man. Most guys as they age take better care of their bodies and keep their weight low to move around better and put less stress on their legs. This guy came into the season in the worst shape of his life and tried to play catch up once he got to his desired destination. It’s no wonder he had hammy issues.

    He'll get one for sure in BKN if they stay healthy. Big if though.

    I love how you completey ignore the fact Harden never had a Klay or a even a Draymond level of teammate.

    Never had a 6th man like A.I. or Livingston.

    Curry lucked out by always being on the deeper team.

    Cool. Its going to be hilarious if BKN wins a couple and of course you'll discredit them because of KD.

    Guess who the favorites are to win it next year btw?

    Hypocritical BS

    If you knew how the trade swaps worked and were a real Rockets fan instead of a Harden nuthugger you’d understand. But you don’t and I’m the hypocrite? Sure thing buddeh.

    I know it is not the best argument but Harden could have taken the cheaper deal from OKC and go for a title their with a younger core that talent wise definitely equaled the pre-championship Warriors. Now they may have had to get rid of Brooks, but with Harden those next 2 years, who knows. Maybe they beat the Spurs and take it to the Heat in a repeat Finals match up? Maybe they still lose to the Warriors after Mark Jackson and with Kerr, but you never know.

    Even with Houston. the same month the Rockets traded for Harden and signed him to that 1st max extension, Curry signed a much cheaper extension with GSW. And at that time there was no telling who would become a better a player or had more upside, and both were gambles. It gave GSW a bit more flexibility for them to get role players like Iguodala and Bogut and Lee. I do realize the caveats that they were lucky to already have their stars and only need to add role players, and the Rockets were snake bitten with Parsons leaving, Bosh ghosting Morey, and the Dwight years.

    In the end, luck is a huge part of all these things. Blaming or discrediting anyone because of a little more or little less luck doesn't make that much sense. There is a reason for the tried and true "better lucky than good".

    One of Morey's flaws, always star chasing. I forgot about Bosh.

    Quit changing subjects and jumping all over the place just cause you know you have no point. Anyways, does that mean you would’ve preferred a Ben Simmons trade? Sounds like it. I’m not surprised knowing it’s you.

    Yup. I hope Harden and the Nets implode so the picks can be worth more. If you were a true Rockets fan you’d understand fukktard
