    Such a classy gentleman.

    I like the fact that he didn't just shut up and listen.

    He took action.

    false. its this fake logic that means nothing. What's proven though is Tilman was the one who made the decision. He pulled the trigger despite anyone else telling him not to. All that other gimmick bs some of yall push just because its convenient for you is fake news

    But to be fair, he quit during the off-season and let the team know he was quitting. If Stone had dealt him before the season started, the in-season quitting wouldn't have been necessary.

    Harden had 1 legit opportunity in 2017-2018. that's it. There was never a number of real opportunities. from there that 65 win team was destroyed and they got worse with the worse transactions all driven by penny pinching and trying to skip steps and bargain bin to get legitimate production

    Harden is going to win a ship in Brooklyn either this year or next. I'll bet anyone on that. They could even go back to back with that core.

    i think in the fine print of the contract he signed, it said "must dribble dribble dribble....."

    Well I accept his somewhat of an apology. I feel he has been wanting to for a while. It was good for him to get that out of the way.
    He wanted out, they dragged their feet about it and he had to do things that would be frowned upon.

    At least we got something in return for him. It could be worse. Could be the Texans and they just let the best player in franchise history walk.

    Did it also say that luxury tax must be avoided by any means necessary coming off a 65 win season?

    True. It's the only logical conclusion. Taking everything at face value is foolish.

    when a team wants to get rid of a guy and not honor the contract they agreed to with the player, it’s all good...it’s just business

    when a player wants out of their current situation, they are a coward, b*tch, mentally weak, or whatever else is said...I wonder why it’s not “just business” for the player? Hmmm

    it's not that logical. it's merely a convenient false assumption that takes away from the actual truth that's known

    It's the only logical conclusion unless you think Tilman would act against both Morey AND Harden (his top 2 assets).

    Yall crying. Lulz. Butthurt. JH is better than yall.

    Dantoni quit too. Morey quit too. Russ quit too.

    Whether you wanted those guys or not. Nobody wants to play here.

    Stop being mad at other people because the franchise sucks under Tilman.
