    Ime doesn’t want him even tho he needs all the public assistance in the world on offense…Stone listened because Ime might as well be the de-facto GM

    they also love Fred like he’s this franchise’s Dirk…that or Fred got lost and wandered into the Toyota Center basement one day while looking for the bathroom and stumbled across all the dead bodies and Tilman tapes

    harden was one of the best clutch time players this year. and yes harden can handle a double/triple team. Listen to what the raptors coach said in game 7 post game presser. That harden is the most dangerous player on the court, and that the gameplan was to limit harden not necessarily Mitchell.

    Wasn't this already known? Or is this just confirmation of what was rumored?

    Rockets don't want to admit they made a mistake letting him go... It's become a franchise that is a graveyard for those seeking a championship due to ineptitude, lack of critical thinking and strategic foresight and a a cheap owner.

    People crying about what we gave up for KD, could you imagine having to trade away more youth for Harden.

    Harden Nutt huggers please move on. You are in denial and embarrassing yourself. Just because Rockets refused to sale the farm doesn't mean they won't welcome him back at the right price. Makes absolutely no sense to give up everything you earned by trading him. It would literally be better to do another couple years of tanking than to try this rodeo again.

    I’m not a defender of the FO by any means but given how he forced his way out can you blame them?

    Harden sucked in the Raptors series and he would’ve sucked for us in the playoffs. Go take of your son. Ps Incubus sucks o_O

    I don’t miss Harden. But, if Fertitta wanted him here, he would be here.

    Harden is just the last straw of saying....hey yeah, we are willing to contend but just going 70% in and not All IN.

    Udoka: Who Cares anyway, Lerbon is a b!tch. Harden a Cav.

    It's just further proof of how r****ded Ime is tbh. Harden would fix Ime's and the team's biggest weakness, give us a REAL general on the floor, not a scrub like Fred who wasn't even a starter on his own championship team. Of course, he'd take all the b****es from Ime rather than spend his summers boxing with him, so there is that. Imagine how quickly Momster would move from Ime to Beard? Yeah. Ime aint ****.
