    Man, I don't like Tilman, I'm just in the business of saving people from themselves and controlling what you can control. You can't control Tilman doing dumb stuff, but you can tell Tilman what you think is the best option. Morey tried, the front office tried, If Harden tried just a little... who knows.

    it just sucks that Tilman is our owner…Why can’t we have nice things?

    towards the end, it sounded like Tilman was valuing his son Patrick’s advice damn near as much as Morey’s

    hopefully Tilman trips and falls into success like Robert Sarver has done

    Morey: Tilman, I don’t think we should do this trade. OKC even wants multiple picks too

    Tilman: Yeah, anyways…get the trade done and don’t talk to me again until it’s gone through

    Its pretty crazy how Harden himself requests a trade from Houston causing a complete collapse of the franchise and what do some people say? Its Tilmans fault.... Its mind boggling, there was never any indication Tilman wanted Harden gone yet somehow everything that happened in the past couple of years is all Tilman... Tilman has made mistake, one of them was letting Harden trade away CP3.... I wish we would have traded Harden instead...

    I agree. But man, when you're dealing with a guy like Tilman, that loves to be in everything, Thinks he's smarter than the smartest people, Harden needed to be Morey's wingman in this situation. All Hands on deck. I bet you Harden's word would have held more weight with Tilman than Morey (at that time)

    I wish we still had all of them: Morey, Harden and CP3. It's been 3-4 years and each year they would have probably won a championship each and every year since they blew it up.. im sick thinking about it.

    I think so too, I keep hearing the term "Houston Harden".... These are terms that are typically used when stars fall off or are too old... Hopefully Harden can prove the haters wrong but it is concerning that from now on this will be how Harden is remembered... As "Houston Harden" the best version of Harden.... Imagine him with CP3 about now with a weaker GSW, his legacy could have been special and Houston could have returned to champs of the world....
