    The Gravity of either side's comments has diminished significantly due to Harden not being a clear Number 1 option.....

    I think in the same breath, him not being a Numero 1 anymore takes some pressure off having to win a Championship at all cost.

    This is Spida's team, any failure should be on his shoulders........and then on Mobley's shoulders as he was the prodigal child.

    Harden haters had to put their signature on the apology form after game 4

    After this game? We’re suing for damages

    Stone should be fired for a lot of reasons but saying no to Harden wanting to comeback twice is unforgivable. Harden is and always has been a far better player than KD, who can't dribble or pass and is one of the worst teammates of all time.

    their is no evidence that stone turned down harden or that harden even reached out to houston this season, lets wait for harden to confirm it

    remember when the media said something about cp3 making fun of hardens "man boobs" all fake news. since harden doesn't respond to this rumors people just believe it

    we know Stone turned down Harden multiple times

    and that “man boobs” thing was literally something that was made up by a troll twitter account and people like Skip Bayless and SAS were too low IQ to realize it before they went on air embarrassing themselves

    How are you gonna turn down Harden, but trade for KD and then extend him? Make it make sense

    I’m surprise at how good grandpa lebron is still. I thought he looked better this year against us than when he won the bubble championship.

    Harden haters wanted him gone because we never got out of WCF.

    Congrats, haters. Now we can’t get out the 1st round after 5 years of tanking for the lottery.

    Harden will not come back here, we haven’t even figured out our point-guard position. We have severe incompetence as an organization, have no idea how a winning team looks like even though one look at the teams in the brackets today will give you that answer and we clearly don’t have the elements of such a team.

    Can never wrapped my head of going for kd and not trying to get harden when we were literally down a pg from the start.

    Man I miss harden ball over whatever the sht we have on the court nowadays. Hope he wins it all. Had multiple chance for a reunion but nah our bum franchise wants fvv of all folks over him.

    The Last Straw is not even signing FVV, it is not to have a good Backup to Fred who was a backup himself with the Raptors for a time.

    Remember, people on here said Harden would be a detriment because he would “take away reps” from the young guys.

    come to find out our young core ain’t sh*t and most of them have no business having the ball in their hands making decisions

    Harden was, is and always will be a better player than Durant.

    I'm rooting for Harden, hope he makes it to the Finals!
    However, it was Harden who forced his way out of Houston during Stone's first year as being GM...I can't blame Stone for not wanting him back

    Harden would solve the offensive problems we have right now but it was the way that he left us. Personally, I would’ve gotten him back by now but time will tell. Harden still hasn’t won anything because of how he left us. But it would be really nice if he came back and won it all. The IQ and skill is there but his character is suspect when it comes to doing whatever it takes to be a champion.

    I mean I would rather have Harden handle and bring the ball up than Reed
