  1. That would be terrible if we give him a 4 year max.
    If it’s 2 years it’s not as bad but Harden will want 4. Why would he be okay with only 2 years, if he has the Rockets wrapped around his fingers. It seems the org will give him whatever if wants.

    That’s not all. I see them doing the S&T and trading the young players. A couple young players and Tari, Sengun OR Jabari.

    That’s just the begging

    Then to appease Harden the org will trade most if not all the young players to bring help for Harden.
    So by year 2 or 3 we won’t have any young prospects.

    And just to be competitive for 2 or 3 years by then end of the 4th year we will have to go back to rebuilding with little or no assets. We would be around the 8 seed go in the play-in and lose or losing on the first round.

    Harden will be the same Harden, he will want Harden ball. Give me the ball and I’ll pass you the ball. He will quit or disappear on games not just on playoffs games as usual.

    It will be a cluster F Mess

    I agree with PG. PG knows better because he knows what Harden is like. He and other players talk about their inner circle. And Harden doesn’t have that many first. Just the ones that can endure his diva like PJ or House. PG knows he will demand being the guy again. Even if this isn’t Jalens team, if we get Harden he will expect it to be his team again.

  2. Goofy 🤪 Baby Face Gatlin I Came Just To 💩 On U Live… We Have The Lamest Rockets Talk Ppl Ever

  3. This is the 20th day in a row that we've heard about James harden and the rockets. Is the news cycle that slow?

  4. James Harden-PG
    Jalen Green- SG
    Jaylen Brown- SF
    Jabari Smith jr- PF
    Alperen Sengun-C

    That's a sick lineup 😊 🚀🚀🚀

  5. Harden just want a check. He don't care about winning a ring. He just wants da money. That's why he's running back to Houston cuz he knows the 76's ain't gonna pay him what he wants and Houston dumb ass will.
