    that's cause no one gives a damn what Iggy does. his impact on the league at this point is next to non existent. nobody really gave af what he did or didn't do. but you won't get that from the media

    Harden can completely shift the odds of a team the second he is moved. This allows him to be clickbait and attention

    John Wall has never been a subpar defender, btw.

    Probably should work on your reading comprehension.

    My sources as well as common sense say that when most of this type of bs from "sources" say hsit like this and is seems to be mostly form posters with 50 or less posts that they are fans from other sites or just out right trolls, so please ignore.

    If this is true I actually think is a bad look for Wall. I get it, he is/was an All Star level player, he was the leader of his own team, all and all he is a very reputable and respected player, and thus he probably is a very proud guy that demands respect from his peers, however.... he has never been considered as good as CP3 or Westbrook, and he has not played an official game in two years, i can totally see why Harden might be skeptic and not be immediately convinced that he should change his mind. Wall still needs to prove that he can be who he was a few years ago, not start his own ego trip demanding anything from Harden, if he is also that immature then we are definitely screwed with these two. The last thing we need is more drama, we have enough problems to now also have the new superstar angry at the old superstar because he has not fallen in love with him at first sight.

    IMO his approach should be to sit down with Harden, assure him that he is in great shape and ask him to give him 10-20 games in good faith to prove it and see how they feel together, other than that he has to be patient, be respectful and keep his distance, not be passive aggressive or problematic, just be friendly off the court, and let your game do the real talking. If he does that and we are doing fine but Harden still wants to leave, then there is nothing he could have done about it.

    If we do the Heat deal there are other deals to be made.

    This has to go down and we need to move forward.
    Jesus make a move already.

    They may not win quite as much, but I bet they'd be funner to watch. And there would be a prospect for a future.

    Rockets chemistry will be bad this year. We may be more talented but without the guys being together as a unit we will play worse.

    Don't worry Mr.Wall, it's clear we're only trying to boost your value this season so we can trade you for some picks next off-season.

    We'll be going into a full tank when we have our own picks next season.

    There was actually a decent amount of headlines due to iggy not showing up.

    When it first happened and then later when players like jamorant and others voiced their opinion - pretty much saying "we don't want you" or something similar.

    The main reason why it wasn't a full blown issue however was due to the fact that the grizzly ALLOWED it. They reach an agr5 with iggy prior to the season not requireing him to show up.

    I'm an iggy fan but I thought the grizz were stupid in doing so. They shouldve required it and if he didn't show - don't pay him.

    Perhaps it was because the grizz recieved the draft pick from the warriors but they didn't care if he showed up. Furthermore they were able to trade him for more assets even without him showing up... So perhaps their strategy was the correct one.

    Wall does have a right to be upset.

    Harden did make him look like a fool if every thing wall said to the media last week was true.

    Wall publicly stated in interviews how he and harden spoke about teaming up, being committed, excited to play together etc.

    Perhaps harden changed his mind or whatever, but wall certainly look somewhat naive or even ridiculous because of it.

    To me the value Wall can bring is when Harden is not on the court. It’s too bad that egos will come into play if they both don’t start. Same with Westbrook. If Harden and Wall can share pg’s duties for 12 mins a game or so and then play 18 min each as pg, they would be both be playing about 30 mins a game and both units could be very effective (at least offensively). Unfortunately, with today’s Divas it will never work.
