[djohn2oo8]

Throwing a fit because Russ got traded. Rockets need to fine his ass everyday he doesn’t show from here on out.

[djohn2oo8]

Can’t remember the last holdout though

[KobesAchilles]

There’s no upside to trading him though. Fine his ass and sit him. If you’re going to trade him anyways, have the upper hand in it

[djohn2oo8]

Well, the upside is let’s say he really wants out, better to trade him sooner than later. The upper hand is of course getting what they want back, they don’t owe him trading him to the team he wants which I don’t understand why he is so damn brazen and stupid about this. He could end up on a lottery team

They would be as easy to hate as Phaggot State.

[The Gemini Method]

The era of Player entitlement in the NBA rears it ugly head. Houston went above and beyond to placate Harden and this is kind of a total disrespect of the franchise that got him his buddy Westbrook at the cost of a better team/fit in CP3. No deal besides maybe Ben Simmons + some pick for a 31 year old Harden would be my guess.

They should just force him to sit out and then sue him so they don't have to pay his ungrateful ass. Trading him just to get something isn't going to help the Rockets get anywhere as no one is going to offer anything good for him when he'll just pull the same faggotry there if it isn't in Philly or Brooklyn. Only trade I'd consider is Simmons plus picks. If Philly ain't offering that then Harden can just sit out the season and not get paid if I'm Houston. There's certainly nothing I'd want from Brooklyn in trade.

He is one of the great offensive players of this, or any era. But you can't win with him.. He had 1 shot with Houston, and yes it sucked that Paul got hurt, a finals spot was there.. Outside of that Harden's game is NOT conducive to winning. If he goes to Philly, Joel will be standing around watching Harden dribble the ball, and taking step back 3’s in crunch time..

Houston Rockets' James Harden needs six straight negative COVID-19 results before being cleared

Harden opted to work out on his own at the University of Houston, and attended rapper Lil Baby's birthday party in Atlanta over the weekend and then spent a few nights in Las Vegas. Harden did not wear a face mask at the birthday party or in Las Vegas nightclubs, social events that violated the league's COVID-19 protocols.

Y'all can make some noise if Harden come back ready to play. Coach Silas was a major reason why Mavs offense was so potent last year. He got a lot to work with in Houston. But I wouldn't be mad if y'all got Ben Simmons, if I'm a Rockets fan.

Yep. Harden should actually give it a chance because now he has big men who can shoot. But instead is pouting because he didn’t get Lucas, Westbrook got traded, Morey and D’antoni left. I’d be excited to see how Silas could help Simmons expand his game

Houston could still be really good if Harden bought in, but too many glass men. 76ers have the best to offer but doesn't seem like they're willing to do it. Kinda sounds like they're trying to put their starting point at Simmons + picks then just "accept" Simmons only. Miami seems most likely if they're willing to gut their team but it'd be too bad if they do. I wanted to see Giannis there in that system.

Simmons is way better than any of Herro, Nunn, and Robinson. Herro had a great run in the bubble but I'd take the regular season as more representative of the player he is. Bigger sample size, more standard conditions. Now if the Heat were offering Adebayo instead of Herro in that deal I'd probably take that and run given how strong a season he had, but Simmons + picks sounds way better than those three Heat players + picks. You can find shooters later on.

Simmons was on his way to Houston in a trade, until Rich Paul got involved and stopped it. That’s why they are now talking to Miami. Because Rich Paul has been intervening as Simmons is his client

Next 48 hours if nothing happens he is likely being kept into the season, however if you are trading him got to do it before the season unless the packages are really shit. I really am thinking of a Denver package, though I’d want to send him East. I don’t see Simmons being offered again. And if he is, klutch sports will throw a bitchfit

Siakam is a glorified role player himself, who was shut down by Brown (and to a lesser extent Smart) in the ECSF's.

Besides, the Raptors are long overdue for their luck to run out.

I'm not sure. Most would reflexively say Siakam and he's definitely better currently, but the gap isn't as wide as the perception is and at 4 months shy of 27, he's closer to his ceiling than Brown, who's roughly 2.5 years younger.

[baseline bum]

With Simmons off the table, if I'm the Rockets I'm watching James Wiseman pretty closely and if he looks good the first 3-4 games I'm offering the Warriors Harden for him. Much rather take a gamble on a star talent than get a few ok players and have my ceiling be #8 seed in the West.

I'd rather have the Heat's package than Wiseman tbh, considering this league has become much more guard/wing-oriented. Now if the Dubs offer a boatload of picks and pick swaps I'd reconsider.

The Heat's package is a bunch of quarters for a dollar unless it involves Adebayo. If Wiseman shows he can play in this league in a few games I'll take the gamble over the certain mediocrity.

Even if he shows he can play its still a huge gamble. I'm also sure the Heat would throw in draft picks down the line that could be top picks when they come around.

I'll take the gamble over the guaranteed crushing loss though. Herro had a nice run in the bubble but under normal conditions in the regular season he was a below average player. Not enough upside for me in a deal centered around him when Wiseman is loaded with upside. And if he busts you have traded mediocrity for tanking, and tanking is preferable anyways IMO.

Houston doesn't have any draft picks tbh, so tanking doesn't really help them. You can always reroute Herro/Nunn for picks/better-fitting pieces. Like I said though, for me it'd come down to what the Heat/Dubs offer in terms of picks as well.

Might as well just trade Harden to Sacramento and see if you can get some good firsts in exchange. :lol

Then they lose young pieces/players for nothing. Its one thing for Houston to do it since it'd be lose/lose but the Kings would fuck themselves further since I could absolutely see Harden taking this season off in that scenario.

If Miami adds another first down the line I might take that package. Teams were lining up to trade for Iggy just a few months ago and you might be able to flip Olynyk for a late first/early second as well.

Yep. This event occurred on December 21 so this past Monday. Being very recent, the league will be pissed because this is now his second time and showing disregard as the memo forbids going to any clubs strip clubs etc. Harden doesn’t care that he could be the cause of another shut down. He will likely be suspended and fined. Player power has gotten way out of control like you said.

Kawhi literally quit during the season and had teams lining up for him. GTFO like NBA teams actually care about that shit. Nobody gives a shit about “culture fit” unless you don’t win. Harden hasn’t won that’s why it is magnified. Butler had a bad rep before he went to Miami and teams were lining up for him. Harden is a quitter, whiner, and doesn’t care about his teammates. There are teams who don’t care and still want to trade.

Butler was known as a competitor who didn't get along with lackadaisical younger players. Kawhi was still thought to be open and honest. Harden is just a complete fuck up and malcontent who needs a team to be completely geared around him.
