    Unless he opts in its all but final

    Houston is the city he loves most. Lifestyle is better for him vs Philly. Better weather etc

    He wants a place that will take the title or bust narrative away

    Comes to teach the young guns how to win

    This is not a bad move if one of the young guys turns into an All-Star. Plus you have the Brooklyn picks to help bring in cheap talent. Sengun, Wemby, Jabari, Jalen, Harden.

    If we can get Scoot, or swing a trade for someone like Daveon Mitchell, I’m not sure I want him back…and I definitely don’t want him back for more than $35 mil per.

    Look we won’t be in the playoffs for him not to be a no show. Regular season he will ball out and Help Greens development like he did with maxey.

    Heard recently a former coach of his said he's great at times, but if he wants to fly out to Vegas the night before a playoff game, you can scream all you want, stomp your feet or whatever, but he's still gonna go. Great influence for sure. Would be a great way to change the culture.

    Hard pass for me.

    Would rather take the money he'd cost and split it on two up and coming young vets to balance the roster and grow with the core.

    Yes, it's my narrative.

    I changed my mind. Wanted him back, but I would now only want him back on an absolute bargain deal that would be tradable if we had to.

    Would prefer Sengun to be our franchise over Harden coming back to be honest.

    Several years prior to leaving the Rockets I made the claim that Harden
    is a California boy and would try to end his career with the Lakers or
    Clippers.....that's until I found out recently his 1) mom and family reside in Houston
    still. 2) Texas is a non state income tax state 3) rich are can't leave
    California fast enough. People and businesses are being taxed to death
    in California.

    Those who hate Harden, hope you still can follow and support the Rockets.
    If not, we might consider taking you back when the Rockets are marching
    towards a championship. He is ending his career in Houston. Have a nice Day
