    For many years James Harden was a very special player in the Houston Rockets,
    Now he is so expensive and old, towards the end of his career. Unless he comes cheap
    I give him a big contract,
    I would rather have Fred Van Fleet as our starting Pont Guard !
    In this way we will have the money to get the other Free Agents we are hoping for ! Y

    You forgot fat. How are you going to have a negative James Harden post without calling him fat? That's against all that clutchfans deems holy.

    According to reports, his theory is that other vets will follow him here. Has that ever happened? Who is clamoring to play with Harden? Can Lil Baby shoot 3s?

    I agree. FVV and another significant signing/trade to supplement any roster imbalance post-draft.

    ...and u forgot that he's a narcissistic sob that took a major dump on org... that wont accept direction from anyone and is more concerned with big booty n honeybun nonsense than winning a championship...

    you go be you, james... where u have the freedom to be u - and do what u want to do... where those that matter dont mind and those that mind dont matter...

    ...jus keep yo fkd up mindset away from my team!

    lol

    FVV has worse shooting numbers than KPJ...he is not an upgrade at that price point.

    FVV? Gross. I'd rather take the chance on Amen starting at the 1. Hell, i'd rather see KPj run the point again under Ime before paying FVV.

    That’s exactly the point. Let KPJ do what he’s best at… shooting. Let FVV run the offense. We have a weapon in KPJ that has not been utilized properly. The KPJ contingent seems to think that a proposal to bring in a PG is some sort of KPJ death sentence. Not to speak for everyone else, but my thought is generally that bringing in a PG will help unlock him.

    I am fine with replacing KPJ, FVV is not an upgrade, get an upgrade.

    Actually, he is an upgrade. And a champion.

    You are saying that taking this team exactly as it is, and replacing Nix with FVV would not make it better? That is delusional.. maybe even insane. Clinically diagnosable.

    a Vanvleet / Green backcourt is more penetrable than a mormon girl on her wedding night.
