    that is fair, choosing thies for defense but still make the trade look terrible if we didn't evaluate that...let alone then we had a team option for mr. defene n avery bradley and also a great vet for the young guy...ignored that too.

    Goes far from the point, that I think typically houston is not jut a no brainer over detroit but I Think its a top 5 or so nba destination in what plyers like: warmth, strip clubs, good cost of living, diversity, and tax free, 4th biggest metro market, strong history.

    but with bad management or ownership that will keep peeople who have options away from us

    harden definitely handled it wrong, hes never been good at PR, stays quiet. hell his mom is his agent. He was no match for the rockets leaked, but I'd wager rockets willingness to 'make things uncomfrotable' just did more harm to us and it wasn't just harden, it was Morey, Tad, PJ, anyone with clout wanted to leave us. So I think harden was wrong, doesnt change that our new owner did him wrong in his championship window to the point that frankly lebron, giannis, kobe, mj, anyone whose at that level would see it an leave. many of them have.

    Lmao you were whiny. I made like one post about Green. You are STILL CRYING about what Harden did. His covid thing aside, he's done nothing wrong to the city of Houston.

    Here we go again you brung the thread down before and you are trying to do it again. You're mad because you got called out for being overly sensitive about what green said and thats it. Just trying to derail the thread and make it about Harden now cuz thats all you have. You have said nothing of substance of relevance since. Another person ignored peace.

    what

    even if we brush aside the whole point that he could've demanded an off-season or post-season trade instead of an early season one, he jettisoned Paul for Westbrook. He pretty much finished the implosion on the franchise that Tilman started by never adequately replacing the role players from the 2018 team.

    I don't play the jilted-ex role, I didn't pay attention to him last season. But "he's done nothing wrong" strays to far into: WRONG.

    Exactly! Too much talk from a guy who hasn’t logged a single real NBA minute.

    He did demand an off season trade? He didnt even want to come camp. That was a bad move, I know. But do you remember how Cp3 in that second Warriors series. He legit thought Russ was better(stupidly) and wanted him on the squad. But again....this is not done to THE CITY.

    He ignored me, but just so everyone can see. This dude is WHINING about Harden asking for a trade that the Rockets made worse(situation wise).

    No audio for me when I play the video. Sound icon shows that it's on. What am I doing wrong?

    If I’m reading his handle correctly, he’s not even a Pistons fan. He’s a raptors fan.

    No surprise there. That cold makes people pretty negative. I think they cheered Durant injuring his Achilles.

    Wanted to be No. 1 but not Detroit?! WTF . Speaking in hypotheticals just makes no sense and makes good media drama only. Love the confidence but completely unnecessary comment about Detroit. Seems he is still sour about not being drafted at No.1. Gratefulness can go a long way.
