    No I’m asking source of the virus. So it could be BMac or KMart? Still shouldn’t the entire team be traced? Unless the said source hasn’t been participating team practice lately

    only those 2 have tested positive from what we know. There's really no way to know the source. But wall/cousins were confirmed to be with kmart.

    Are you saying Wall/Cousins KNEW that Kmart was positive for covid yet they chose to be around him anyways?

    If so, that is pretty stupid behavior and probably why the rockets will be the official teams of covid-deniers everywhere.

    With all this happening I wonder what House was up to...


    Edit: Nm... dumb question. He was probably with the team at the facility.

    That's where all the covid testers are.

    Why accept him back? He shouldn't return to the team. He doesn't want to be here. I don't think he should be wearing a Rockets uniform anymore, under any circumstance. Even if we're forced by the league to pay him while he is sitting out games, do that.

    That's one way to do it. While the team does have the choice of paying a player not to show up ala MEM/Iggy... I don't think it is the right one.

    The Rockets should want Harden on the team. They should expect him to follow all the rules and be a professional. IF he violates them, then fine and suspend him for very single incident. The thought of paying a grown man who's acting like an infant just doesn't sit well with me. I simply don't want to reward the behavior.

    The worst instance of a players behavior being rewarded was Vince Carter in TOR IMO. Before they traded him, the guy quit on the team and actively sabotaged the team. TOR should have fined and suspended him and continue to do so until he acted like a pro.

    If the NBA and/or the rockets don't punish Harden for blatantly ignoring not only NBA rules but societal ones regarding COVID, there'll be no one to listen when they decry "player empowerment."

    yeah unless Harden plays that Khloe Kardashian era Harden defense, he's going to be within 6 feet from him

    None of this matters anymore. Its already taken root. Harden will never recover from this fiasco. I dont think he has many fans left.

    what's there to recover from? He asked to be moved. he doesn't want to be here anymore. The only recovering for him is to get out of here. This dude is followed by millions of people. that isn't going to change
