It's time for Kevin Durant and James Harden to reunite

[keep-itreal]

James Harden is more motivated and focused when playing alongside an alpha that he respects like Kevin Durant.

Nobody wants to play hard when you're side kick is a bitch like Dwight Coward

Just look how ridiculously good he is when he was with the Thunder

Harden is garbage

[Im Still Ballin]

They need to reunite the trio in OKC... Take paycuts as the salary cap expands

[Dr Hawk]

Lebron too, off the bench

harden is NEVER going to win a ring as a major contributor.

lmao, I've been laughing at these idiots who think that harden is a net positive (not even star) for a franchise since he got to the rockets. This niggga only wants to party and fck hoes, he doesn't care about teammates, team, locker room, coach, defense, team accomplishments, ball movement, intangibles or leadership. He is all about his stats and chucks relentlessly and the moreyball group who values only TS is the perfect match for him. They can't even apply stats logic properly, as his usage on a team with many options clearly shows his detrimental value to ball movement and overall offense, so even his offensive impact is not that great.

I'm dying here sons this niggga saying he is MVP level, fck me if they played without harden they'd prolly win more as they'd have a good/great defense and would probably play 1-in 4-out with dwight, they'd also be motivated, they'd implement a decent offense, they'd have an acceptable locker and so on. They'd be a better team.

This proves again that the pseudo-stat guys like morey and hinkie should just GTFO. You either use a true stats oriented basketball aware manager who understands complex analyitics and HOW they represent the game of basketball, or you just use a great basketball coach who'll understand the game enough without heavy analytics.

A true good manager would sell harden now, while he is still high, to a dumbass manager probably.

Its just tough..harden puts asses in the seats......I cant think of any era where the houston rockets didn't have at LEAST one star....and im going waaaaaaaaay back.

harden

Like was there ever a period where the rockets didn't have one legit star??


I cant think of another team that's been this lucky besides maybe the lakers.

With that being said they could get a lot for him and potentially build a team that was as good as this years team if not a little bit better but then you are stuck in that too good to build through draft but too bad to compete for rings and that's pretty much the equivalent of working a dead end job.

They should trade Ibaka for Harden. Oh wait, they could have done that if the FO wasn't so incompetent.

if houston is smart they blow it up:
1. trade harden for a superstar in a bad spot (paul george, anthony davis, cousins) and they might even win something. harden won't care about losing.
2. trade howard for some complimentary pieces and picks
boston for example : bradley + nets pick + filler
atlanta will bite : horford + picks + filler
sacramento might even bite for cousins, if houston adds something extra (they get a big name for that dumbass owner of theirs, sacramento won't get anything for him anyway as everybody knows cousins is with a foot out the door )
3. keep ariza, keep brewer, keep jones
4. use cap space to sign somebody useful like conley or horford or fournier or ezeli or a ton of other two way low key players.

they could have this team:
conley/beverly
brewer/ ariza/filler
paul george/ariza
terrence jones/filler
cousins/filler

or like this
beverly/filler
smart/brewer
ariza/brewer
anthony davis/filler
horford/filler
and a top 5 pick (get some SG/SF)

morey won't do this though
