    he is doing the smart thing if he wants a ring. you cant win with a cheap owner..... even if we didnt trade cp3 we would just have the same team that wasnt good enough the year before. keeping cp3 wouldnt have changed last years outcome. it also would not have changed the fact we have a cheap owner who is trying to run a professional team like his restaurant businesses. harden heading for the hills while he still has some good years left. you should not fault him for that.

    One thing's for sure: if the Rockets give in to Harden's demand and get a pathetic haul, then pack up the franchise and move it to Seattle. Fans will be done with Fertitta and co.

    The organization would be monumentally inept to willingly trade away one of the best players of all time. He's being pouty, but DO NOT GIVE IN.

    Give Silas a damn chance, for ****'s sake. Harden deserves just as much blame for ruining the franchise as Fertitta, since he pushed for the Westbrook trade.

    I actually think moving on from D'Antoni was the right move. Morey wasn't helping either in that the way the team played was inflexible come playoff time.

    To James: you either are up for a challenge or want to be coddled by Morey or take the "hardest road" with Durant.

    Give Silas a chance.

    Also, the draft is tommorrow right? Maybe not a coincidence a trade request coming right now, someone might hope the Rockets fall for some panic shitty move.

    Harden said he wanted both CP3 and Russ. Morey said the math didnt work for both. Now we have Russ. It is what it is.

    Good lord no. If he successfully demands his way out of Houston without a Finals appearance then he's just McGrady with better stats. Hard pass.

    Don't give in to the pouting.

    Harden is only playing in philly or brooklyn. No other team is going to trade for him to sit on the bench.
    Rejoice my friends. We no longer have to endure watching another season under tilmen poortita. We are free at last!

    Spurs are respectable. Never the Mavs.

    Judging by pretty much everything we've heard both from other sources and TIllman's own mouth, it doesnt seem like Harden made the "him or me" ultimatum.

    Then you should welcome him being traded.

    Hope he goes to Philly, that would be an easy team to trade my Rockets fandom for.

    Tillman is a Fooking Idiot! He literally ruins everything he touches! Look at all the restaurants that he takes over. They go from good establishments to just over priced apple bees. I've been a chef for years now and I know when i see corporate BS with no room for true creativity when I see it. This is it!
    Of course Harden turned down the 50 mill offer. Harden knows his legacy is on the line. Why on earth would he want to sit here on a franchise that is not willing to compete!
    This guy is a once in a generation talent and we are about to lose him for peanuts so he can play with his friends and compete for a championship.
    The man should get a statue in front of Toyota Center for just having to endure Tillman Fertita's garbage the past three seasons.
