December 22, 20205 yr 97.5 went on and on about a Harden to Denver rumor this evening. Harden for Jamal Murray, Michael Porter Jr. and picks. If this is true, I'm not sure why the Rockets didn't pull the trigger immediately. I would trade Harden for Murray straight up.
December 22, 20205 yr Latest from an insider who has been right in the past It's a decent offer and it also takes care of the Tucker issue, but it seems like the Rockets want Bam as well.

Deals center around Brown and Siakam respectively. 10 hours ago, UDontKnow said: Latest from an insider who has been right in the past It's a decent offer and it also takes care of the Tucker issue, but it seems like the Rockets want Bam as well. Damn that is a nice offer. No wonder Miami told Houston to pound sand.

December 23, 20205 yr John Wall sent home for contact tracing. It's very likely the Rockets aren't playing tonight. Kenyon Martin Jr is the source of the contact tracing, and Ben McLemore already tested positive earlier this week. Fuck this.

It's been hard being a Rockets fan these last few years for me. I was never the biggest Harden fan because of his style. And I felt like Morey was getting a pass because he liked to fling shit on the wall, hoping it would stick. I can't knock the greatness of their regular season runs, but their playoff failures speak for Harden's style and Morey's system. Wasn't particularly sad to see Morey go. He's just as responsible for this current shit pie as anyone. And won't be sad to see Harden go too. Even if it means taking a few steps back. Harden is not the lead dog for a championship team and Morey's system is not built for championships. At least not in the NBA.

Morey made sure the rockets were always in the hunt for home court in the 1st round. If you can't appreciate that then maybe we do need 5 more years in the lottery followed by 1st round loss after 1st round loss so fans appreciate how great a run we had.

Morey ran up a big debt that’s finally coming do. Do you really think that if Morey was still here that the team’s outlook would be much different?

I think if Tillman didn't buy the team then we would be in a much different position and never would have done that Westbrook trade.
December 23, 20205 yr https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/30590158/nba-postpones-houston-rockets-oklahoma-city-thunder-game Postponed due to COVID protocols. Harden wasn't the positive, but was found to have violated league rules for COVID. Sigh.

I can't argue with you regarding the regular season and making the playoffs. We all know it could be worse. And may get worse. Just felt like he wasn't going to build a team that could get over the hump. Rolling out 6'5" centers for a full season will only get you so far in the playoffs.

December 24, 20205 yr How long until Harden pulls a “Lucian Tucker” from The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh and starts running up and down the court like this?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
December 25, 20205 yr New CBA. Harden leaks trade requests, he pays the value of the remaining years to the team on his contract and then is immediately a free agent. Problem solved.
December 25, 20205 yr Harden is a better version of Carmelo Anthony. Unbelievable talent, fantastic scorer, but too fucking concerned with himself to bother winning a championship. If Harden ever does, it will be on the tail end of his career as a 2nd or 3rd option. Edited December 25, 20205 yr by Blotto
December 25, 20205 yr Harden’s already had the Rona. The fact that he can’t make it rain, maskless, at the titter shows that America sucks.
December 25, 20204 yr Author New CBA. Harden leaks trade requests, he pays the value of the remaining years to the team on his contract and then is immediately a free agent. Problem solved. So... Cut yourself...

I think Houston would do it. James you are free to go, just pay us the remaining 70 million on your contract and good luck. Need some creative thinking to force some parody. At this point fans aren’t dumb nor coming back for the 70% of the league that will never win a title. Players should be able to dictate their destination and teammates. At a cost to the player, not the team.

Might as well just ask players to pick teams, which is what they're trying to do.
December 26, 20204 yr What parody? 10 teams have won the title each of the last 40 years. Cavs, Mavs and Raptors with one each. That’s 7 teams winning the other 37 years. Making the players use their own money to buy out a contact makes some sense, and automatically reduces the offer of the team the player is seeking to force a trade to.
December 26, 20204 yr It’s tough to have a serious discussion with someone who doesn’t know the difference between parody and parity.
December 26, 20204 yr Lol. May he who has never mistyped, please, cast the first stone. So I ask. 7 teams for 37 titles in 40 years, what parity?
December 26, 20204 yr The stat seems even worse if you take out the Rockets’ two championships and it’s only 6 teams won 35 of the past 40 title.

Maybe if Harden is going to play for the league minimum deal with Brooklyn. It would be interesting to see if these guys really prioritize winning over cash.
December 27, 20204 yr Going to be easy to root for this team with Tate, Brown, Nwaba, Caboclo, and Wood. Edited December 27, 20204 yr by HtownHorn
December 27, 20204 yr 44 and 17 for Harden. I guess he is in shape. Edited December 27, 20204 yr by Fastbreak
December 27, 20204 yr Too bad we couldn't get the win. I would like Harden to help us get as many wins as he can before he bolts. 0-1
December 27, 20204 yr The bench couldn't replicate their 1st half success. Harden and Wood are going to be fun for as long as he's on this team. Cousins, Wall, and Gordon likely means the Rockets win this game tonight.
December 27, 20204 yr Harden will have his most efficient shooting season in years on this team. Silas runs a nice offense that gets open looks instead of step back 3s

December 29, 20204 yr I’m treating these first two like the extended preseason. Tough to win on the road at Portland and Denver with only 8 guys. We’ll see what’s what on Thursday with a full squad.
December 29, 20204 yr Really hope Silas plays Wood and Cousins in the same lineup often. Rockets not rebounding well and rim defense is non-existent.
December 29, 20204 yr 10 minutes ago, BigOrange1 said: is it possible that harden is actually even better this year? So far he is. It cracks me up watching him just go God mode and seeing all the people on here saying they wouldn’t do Herro and Duncan and cap fodder for harden. Or acting like Jaylen Brown is some manner of Untouchable asset that Boston wouldn’t even schedule a meeting to trade him for Harden. It’s absurd.
December 29, 20204 yr Definitely hard to judge when end of the bench guys are getting large minutes. This team will look very different with Wall, Cousins, Gordon and McLemore available. Aside from Wood...I'm really liking David Nwaba.
