    Harden: Get me another star player to play with.
    Rockets: OK. Here's Chris Paul.
    Harden: No, not him. Get me Westbrook.
    Rockets: But he doesn't really work with our offense.
    Harden: Don't care. Get me Westbrook.
    Rockets: OK, We got Westbrook for you.
    Harden: No, don't want to play with him anymore.
    Rockets: What? OK, you like John Wall?
    Harden: Yeah.
    Rockets: Do you like Stephen Silas?
    Harden: Yeah.
    Rockets: OK, we got both of those guys.
    Harden: Whatever, bruh. Trade me. You ain't never done nothin' for me.

    Harden finally realizes what every Rockets fan needs to realize: You ain't winning anything with TIlman.

    You silly sh its you just traded Westbrook for garbage and than act surprised when james gets mad and decides to hold out . Westbrook is on a entire different level of talent compared to wall . Rockets have had a terrible off season . Harden wanted out before the Westbrook trade than the team trades Westbrook for nothing and you think that’s going to motivate James . I wouldn’t want to risk injury to play for a non playoff team either. How is this hard to understand

    He’s going to eventually show up. I don’t think we will ever see the fun, locked in Harden in a Rockets uniform again though. It’s a sad time

    Is this real housewives or the NBA.


    I want Harden stay, but as far as player empowerment, the buck didn't stop with Lebron or KD, but when Harden showed interest... then rival GMs be like the 'buck must stop!".

    Who are these GMs, are they fringe team that don't want further concentration of power (understandable). Or are they contending teams (like Lakers; who don't want Brooklyn to challenge their repeats)

    The Covington trade was the one that really made this off season bad for me. That dude was to important to winning now. You but all your chips on a guy in Wood who played good for what 20ish games last year?

    Harden has 2 years on his contract. That's why the owners are upset and scared. Players don't typically hold this much leverage with that much time left.

    Only Bill O'brien thinks that a player holds leverage with 2 years left on a contract.

    The agenda laden media has been out of control for some time. As to the rest of the League....whatever. Trying to get his price down.

    They all need to **** off and mind their own business.

    I don't care either way. I am not a political person. But you have understand if I was a black player it would be hard to play for someone who soo openly supports Trump. Considering the message and everything going on during the bubble.

    Nothing out of the ordinary. Small market teams have been complaining about player empowerment ever since Lebron left CLE for MIA. It was a huge issue when PG wanted out, a huge issue when Butler wanted out and teams raised the biggest stink when AD wanted out.

    But I don't understand why someone supporting Trump would be offensive to a black player?

    These rival executives would change their tone so quickly if they found out they had a chance to get Harden on their team. They're only piling on us because they so desperately want to see us trade him for chump change.

    Now do every single move Tilman has made since he's been here.

    Let's see how many were for the betterment of the team's fight for a championship, and how many were to keep Tilman's pockets heavy.

    I read it more as they don't want players in the league (ie: players on their own roster) to feel like they have the power to say F this multi-year contract that's left to run, you do as I want or I throw a tantrum.
