    I'm of the mind that you get Simmons or you keep Harden.

    I would prefer a final go of things with this group if Simmons isn't inbound.

    As long as Simmons is on the table to negotiate a common ground I believe they will reach that common ground. . It will probably go a few weeks or even to the deadline, but In the end I believe that is the most desirable option for the Rockets as opposed to the Miami or Celtics offers

    Also I might be jumping the gun, but I think Moreys Twitter post about this time last year harden passing Calvin Murphy’s assists record with the title “ king” was a message to Harden that I’m doing what I can to get you so remain defiant. We now know that Simmons is infact on the table

    Good, i have no interest in Duncan Robinson if not to move him to a third team in the same deal.

    I can also confirm that: -Ben Simmons was indeed offered by the 76ers in certain packages, however the Rockets are not keen to play " these mind games with Morey" -The Heat are pushing hard for a deal. Not saying they're the frontrunners, but Harden is aware they're trying​

    Can confirm ClutchAdam Twitter's info on this too, by virtue of having access to the internet

    Who are your favorite role players though?

    Just get the feel for it.

    Do something, Woj! Make Harden trade happen if Rafael won't do his job!

    I'd want him 100% if it was a trade with Miami. Dude shot 48% in the playoffs. He's actually a solid defender and moves pretty well. He is 6-8 with a 7 foot wingspan. I would definitely want him here for a season and if he fit then overpay to keep him.

    Hell no to overpay a Duncan Robinson, sorry but we're going to disagree here trey, i also don't think his defense is good enough for a starter, i'd much rather ship him to a third team for a prospect or pick/s over keeping him and give him 10/15M per season in few months like the Nets did with Joe Harris. I'd gladly take Achiuwa, but Robinson ugh, i mean, if he's part of the package ok, but if by taking him it lowers the rest of the package, Miami can keep him and give us something else/better.

    His trade value is sinking quickly with each passing day.

    the more he makes wood look like a superstar and this team a contender, the higher his value rises

    Jalen Rose says James Harden trade rumors could wreck Houston’s locker room and the other teams involved

    "I think it has the chance to wreck both of those locker rooms and force neither one of those teams to reach their goals."

    said this 100 times already, This is why you don’t let this drag out. Make.

    Don’t answer Morey’s calls for a few weeks and force him to watch Ben Simmons get hung up on picks over and over again.

    Who the fk cares? Without Harden this is not a championship team, so why would we trade him just to preserve the locker room, for what?

    Harden already wants out, he can't want out more if it drags out. If anything, the longer it takes, and the more we win, he could want back in.
