    Why not wait and retire Harden number after he scores 50 points on Rockets tomorrow night. Maybe even a triple double.

    To a ring I mean, we all know Harden dominates in the regular season. In the playoffs ... not so much.

    To the question on if he wants to come back I think the idea is just letting everyone know he's going to have his jersey retired here.

    I don't think players have their jersey's hung up while they are still active players?

    Good move by Tilman.

    Of course Harden deserves to have his Jersey retired.

    We saw amazing thing after amazing thing, night after night. We saw things that we have never seen before and I’m glad it was in a Rockets uni.

    I’ll always be haunted by being a hamstring away from a title. It just doesn’t take away from James greatness.

    So the ending sucked, it’s not how many of us wanted it to end. Most endings are tough though. I will always wish James the best. This is a great way to circle back to the positive that was James Harden in a Rockets uniform.

    if we're gonna start retiring numbers, THESE are the deserving numbers that need to be hanging from the Toyota Center rafters

    I misread the title, saw it as re-hire

    Just leave him on the no rehire list.

    Do the little video thingy ... Retire his jersey... Lift it in the rafters and proceed to let Gordon attempt to break the team single game scoring record...
