not discounting what u r saying... but the narrative i had heard was that WB was fed up with Harden... showing up late to meetings and having to start over, practices getting cancelled bc Harden decided he wanted to do something else, etc... Idk where everything landed as far as the real at the time... whether WB was fed up with Harden or they both wanted to leave bc Tilly was a Trumpster or whatever... so much conflicting info at the time... everybody had a narrative that they were trying to advance...
So many Rockets legends change involved in one trade. Daryl Morey has solidified his lifetime Rockets legend status.
So glad he is no longer on the Rockets. A rapid decline is on the way. Lifestyle catches up with everyone. Making the playoffs and losing in the playoffs are both a lock.
The Warriors only beat the Clippers in the playoffs because Chris Paul's hammy held up. He faked it in 2018 to teach Harden a lesson
Beverley Melton Martin Morris Covington 6th man: DANUEL HOUSE! Philly still has a whole lineup + a fireeee 6th man
Plus, Harden will have much less pressure to perform and not get worn down in the postseason. Say what you want, but the dude can still be outstanding, especially when he gets enough rest between playoff games. And the Clippers getting P.J. Tucker, I think, was a huge coup for them. Adding him to George and Leonard could make for some deadly defense. Now, if they can only stay healthy.
