agreed. tiers for me Simmons Brown herro I think herro will be a high high level role player while Simmons is a superstar potential/all nba perennially and brown is perennial all star level
before the season did you think rockets would win 65 games and be the 1 seed ? no one picked the rockets, most didnt even think harden and cp3 would fit.....outside of that, there was nothing jaw dropping about the supporting cast. certainly nothing that you think would have any chance at all against the warriors with KD.
hero has all-star potential. you must not watch the heat much. this kid has the "IT" factor for sure. insane amount of swag and confidence for a rookie.
No one has picked the Rockets to win 1st seed in any of Harden's seasons with Rockets. Ever. Rockets are underdogs every season.
Send Harden to the the nightlife capital of the world that is Oklahoma City. Rockets get back, SGA, Dort (for the lol when facing Harden) + cap fillers. And all their accumulated picks including the ones from the cp3 trade.
No I actually watched him drop 37 on us while we were playing in the conference finals- u must not have watched them? He has swag and confidence sure and he’s gonna be good but imo s9me players are closer to their ceiling than others and I don’t think herro is gonna make drastic leaps in his career. I think he’s a very good player that’s closer to his ceiling than other young players- playing in the perfect enviroment. Btw swag doesn’t equate to being a star lol lots of players have “swag”
What would be even better - is somehow getting back CP3 and Dwight Howard, haha, I'm really joking though, whereas your scenario if Tilman were gone... Oh well, what about Ariza and some picks? 4th times a charm!!! joking about all of this.
no they don't. very few players have a real swagger IMO. how is Miami a perfect environment ? they run it like a damn boot camp. if anything that would be harden on most young guys. for him to earn big minutes in crunch time in the playoffs says a lot about him and his potential. you are greatly underestimating this kid calling him a role player at best.
he’s a kid whose maximized his potential by working hard (Miami encourages that and loves hard working coachable tough motivated players ) drafted by a coach and team who encourages their players to be extremely well conditioned (herro is) shoot first and have a green light (herro does) unwavering confidence (he does) he’s with a winning organization that empowers him (riley is a Kentucky guy) and a superstar in butler who is a great playmaker and facilitator (who also empowers a rookie) I said a high high level role player big difference first of all, 2nd of all Miami is exactly the perfect enviroment for him because of everything I mentioned above and they have a winning mindset, put him on the kings or the Knicks there’d be a huge difference. and btw a majority of the nba players have swag and an aura of confidence they’ve been the man at every level they have ever played at- it’s why so many of them aren’t coachable or have inflated egos.
$40M and he's still not satisfied? Trade the ungrateful b*t*h http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=y6a99yab Or http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=y6ga5nuu
I'm petty and sending Harden to the Knicks. They can have PJ and House too for their 2021 first round pick via Dallas. You wanted Brooklyn...well this is close enough. Stop kissing Harden's a**. Give me Kevin Knox, Julius Randle, and 1st round picks for 2021, 2023, 2025, 2027. The 2021 pick (via Dallas) for PJ and House. New Rockets (give young guys a shot) Wall(Kentucky)/Jones/Grant Gordon/BMac/Brown Knox(Kentucky)/Nwaba/Green/Tate Randle(Kentucky)/Bruno/Martin Wood/Boogie(Kentucky) Now I have secured my future with 11 first round picks from 2021 to 2027. I can build my team to fit our young coach and build a new culture the right way. Develop our young players since Silas says that's his specialty.
he wasn't GIVEN a green light, he EARNED a green light. huge difference. lol @ thinking a rookie basically cant/wont get any better
again, I said closer to his ceiling and some players do come in closer to their ceiling than others. Never said he can’t or wouldn’t get better. He will improve. He will get better but no I don’t think he’ll improve to the point where he’s an all star but he’ll be a very valuable piece of a good team. so if u quote me don’t twist my words. I also said this under the premise of being compared to Simmons ( a legit all nba player) and brown a 2 way player who could have been an all star this year. So again, yes herro is a good player and will become a very good one and he will improve but yes he’s closer to his ceiling imo than either brown or Simmons. that’s why I said tiers- and herro has had a green light his whole basketball career it’s what u label “swag” lol but what it is, is an unwavering confidence that the heat let him carry over without having to be worried about being pulled out of games and which empowered him. not all rookies get that on winning teams and with organizations which is why Miami was perfect for him. Great coach, great stability, hard working enviroment where he could maximize his rookie potential and to his credit he did.
I can't wait until Harden's gone. We never won with him anyway. Get some other players who want to play here for that 38 million. I'm sick of hero ball anyway. Maybe he can be a one man show somewhere else and take the most shots in the league on another team. With Russ gone he'd just go back to that boring BS. Dribble, dribble, dribble on outta here. Fine with me.
Some place where there are huge door frames, so his ego and big head and fit and it should come with a baby rattle
harden wants a ring so only teams in contention can reasonably trade for harden and expect him to suit up philly: simmons+filler(thybulle, maxey)+picks boston: jaylen brown+filler(marcus smart)+picks denver: jamal murray+filler(will barton, mpj)+picks portland: cj mccollum+filler(zach collins, nassir little)+picks clippers: pandemic p+any first rd pick they might have left milwaukee: khris middleton+filler(divincenzo)+picks all of these deals kinda suck but i'd prefer philly, boston, denver, or portland. at least we get a little bit of star power back. hell no to the nets offer of a handful of nba replacement level players + picks.
Happy to trade him back to OKC. Show him who the Knicks of the West are. Seriously, though, ship him to the Bulls for LaVine and picks. He has turned into a backstabber. The only person to blame for zero championships is him.
