Gthoh with cheap stats and metrics....and spare me that...oh he’s one of the best post defenders crap. Harden doesn’t lock anybody up and make it tough offensively for opposing players.
Silas has already said that Harden and WB both recommended that he get the job. So why would the Silas hiring cause him to ask for a trade? He recommends a guy then wants to be traded because he's hired?
John Wall said he came to play with James and that they talked after the trade and he would be here 100% this year. Wood said he and James were going to be great together and he would be the second option (showing Russ was gone before it happened). I have no ****ing idea what's going on but people who just arrived here seem to think differently about James than the media. I'm sticking with my theory that this is James pretending to be upset that Russ was traded. Nothing at this point involving this situation would shock me. James isn't saying a damn thing about it publicly. He's clearly avoiding the media in Houston.
The stats back up the eye test, did you not watch Harden play defense since we went small??? He played very good defense. I didnt say he was Kawhi or anything? It's like you guys just dont watch basketball or something.
harden can go F*** himself....if anything they should only ask for his opinion so that they know what NOT to do...all his "wants" lead to ****
Ultimately Silas will throw the ball in Hardens hands at the end of games to get him a bucket. There will be minor tweaks like more motion and Harden should embrace that.That will make Hardens life easier instead being an stationary target. Move and it’s going to be harder to be doubled. Silas indicated that harden is his end of game option . Ultimately You don’t go away from a guy according to “ Tyler Herros “ own word the “ maybe best pure scoring guard of all time “ and Anthony Davis best isolation player ever. It’s absolute stupidity to do that and Silas doesn’t come off as a stupid person.
I wish folks would stop with if “Harden gives him a chance” nonsense. This dude threatened to leave last yr behind trading cp3 for Westbrook. He isn’t interested in what’s best for the team he is interested in What’s best for Harden. Get him outta Houston now!!!
TF probably offered Lue what he offered Morey, 1.5M plus the pleasure of free takeout from any of his restaurants. Minimum order of $250 of course.
You know what us fans wanted from Harden. In a game 7 against the Warriors (2018) that he not go 12 of 29 from the field (2 of THIRTEEN from 3) with FIVE TO's.
I need my all world 40+ million dollar superstar franchise player to be a two way player. That’s the huge difference between players like lebron Kawhi Kobe MJ And so forth and so on hell even players like Jimmy Butler and prime Klay. That’s why I want Simmons as well people talk about his shooting woes but with Simmons your not only getting everything he brings offensively besides shooting your also getting a player who will be first team or 2nd team defense consistently.
these dudes are just talking throwing sh*t out there this Zilgitt character says Harden demanded a trade because of the Silas hiring Since when was Zilgitt a go-to for Rockets news? tomorrow we’ll hear Harden actually hated Morey or some sh*t according to “sources”
It was probably the last straw. Losing MDA, losing Morey, not spending when you could have. Its very possible, that Harden has had enough at this point. And its also very possible that both of those guys(him and Russ) genuinely thought Lue was better. Silas hasnt coached ever and that means something to someone who wants to win a chip. Again, Silas was the better choice and Im glad he went with him.
What I said the other day. He may be a “gym rat” but that is EXACTLY where it ends. He does NOT and he NEVER will have the mindset Kobe or Jordan had. Idgaf what team he goes to next, it will be Rockets 2.0 unless he is like the 3rd option (which he won’t ever agree to be)
actually we wanted the refs to not take away 4 point plays and to call 2 other blatant 3 point shooting fouls
