    I know he is a much better teammate than WB or CP3 has been throughout their careers in terms of wins. I know he’s a better teammate on the court than KPJ. I know there are not a lot more better playmakers in the league than Harden. Beyond that I really don’t give a ****. Maybe you should ask yourself who is asking the right questions here.

    Which one is out there that might want to join us? We are a train wreck of a team right now and while Harden wouldn’t solve all our problems, he solves the biggest ones which are KPJ at point, no playmaker, and no offensive system. If he can help get Silas fired, well that solves one more.

    yep

    we need a playmaker, harden is one of the best playmakers to grace the court. Can't really tank anymore after this season, so it's a no brainer to sign harden if available.

    Y’all nephews hating on this guy like he’s not the greatest offensive Rockets player of all time who’s still good for 20/10 on great efficiency. Harden would be great for all our young guys AND will finally force KPJ to play off-ball.

    Dudes comfortably a Top 30-40 player all time and people still hate on him. Harden at 50 will be a better PG than KPj will ever be.

    Don't hate Harden at all. He did amazing things for this team.

    Do a proper health check on him and max him. Replace Harden with any other 20/10 guy of his CURRENT calibre and it wouldn’t even be a question.

    Most fans have just been spoilt by offensive GOAT-calibre seasons by Harden and are hesitant because he’s not THAT guy anymore. But he’s still a max guy.

    It’s not hate… it’s called being prudent.

    Harden at 50 with blindfolds = better PG than KPJ.

    U pay him? it's not like we are gonna get anyone of harden caliber with our cap space.

    There isn't really a line of free agents excited to come to play for the houston rockets.

    I’d give Harden a three/four year max deal with the third/fourth year as a team option. I think that would be fair for both sides. We have cap space and we need a veteran leader/PG.

    So potentially a 5 yr/ $250 million for Harden from age 34 to 39?

    This will be Harden’s last payday…. Not sure how thrifty he will be.

    Yes. If Harden wants to come back, that deal will be available to him.

    I wouldn’t want Lebron or CP3 at those prices either….

    We already gave KPJ a contract…. Come on do better.
