    Lol I don't enjoy Harden during clutch time because of all the iso plays but I would never trade away Harden...he has a beard that is holy and he demands a double team a lot, we need someone to take the burden of being"the man" .

    I think the Kings got talent, just terrible coaching. I was actually quite upset when Morey got rid of 2 pat. But now that I think about it, Cousins looks like a good deal.

    So you think if McHale goes to the Kings the Kings will do better than us? I really don't think so. I think Harden's game does so much more than you think. Sure, he hasn't played great, but I would build around him over someone like Cousins. I personally think you think too highly of Cousins. I don't think he can do what Harden has done for the Rockets this season.

    True, KDs contract is fair. LBJ is fair. Hell, even Melo is starting to look okay now that the NYK is in 2nd place. But what about the others? D Rose was a lousy contract. What was it? 5 year 94 million dollar contract that he didn't even play for 2 years. Basically all the NJ nets. Monta Ellis' contract was weak, which was probably why Lacob got rid of him in favor of Curry. Andrew Bynum? Steve Nash's 3 year 27 million dollar contract was pretty bad. Right now, this 80 million dollar contract is not looking good.

    Rockets have no need to trade for star potential anymore, we actually have a star.

    I guess you dont have Comcast if you're judging harden from this one game.
    Young players choke in the playoffs, look at Lebron until last year. Harden is a hell of a player, and morey would lose his job if he traded him for anyone in the league not named lebron or Durant.

    Would love to make a meme around Harden and:

    "PLAYS 10 BAD GAMES SINCE INJURY IN 70 GAME SEASON"

    "GETS TRADED TO SACRAMENTO FOR FILLERS BY GLACIER921 ON NBA2K TO SHED SALARY"

    I think Chicago fans are still plenty happy with D Rose's contract. And I think Morey is plenty happy with the fact he gave a 26/5/5 player a max deal at the age of 23.

    All this, just to be ANTI-ISO?

    Right, but that's because you're not insane. Were you insane, you'd be thinking that the Bulls should have let Rose walk after becoming the NBA's youngest ever MVP because they should have foreseen his injuries.

    Will Cousins play better ISO plays? If you think ISO is the problem, then a better discussion would have been about the coaching not trading Harden.

    Right, and 2 lost years plus never being the same player again. It's like buying Apple stock at 704, and now it's 416, that hit a low of 386.

    So, what's the point in dumping one player who's currently on a max contract in favor for another player who will get one when his rookie contract expires in 2014 again?

    I wasn't suggesting one ISO play vs another ISO play. Wanted more ball movement, like Mchale kept shouting out. LOL...
