The “running” was only ever Houston or Philly

FVV it is!
Big surprise. I always thought it seemed mostly fake.
Bummed would have loved for him to finish out his career here leading the young guys
I’m confused on why everyone is down to pay Fred $40+ a year but not James. Roast me if need to be enlightened
Yeah I bet he thought I know they loved me. They want me back. “We like bitch, we don’t want you ball hogging ass back. We finally got youth on our side. Go not win with you dumbass play. It was fun but actually want to win.” I wonder if he is hearing the chatter and conforming to that chatter of his play and how he can’t be “himself” here. We need development not someone that stunts
Personally I don’t care what Iko reports unless it’s a postmortem. Go cover the hornets or the wizards my guy. Or better yet, jazz it up.
I’d rather pay harden then some other random point guard oh well we can enjoy giving OKC a top 5 pick next year.
Very good to hear
Oh no…anyway
An easy, smart move for him. Turn Houston’s available cap space, the plausible narrative that he’d come back, and the adversarial relationship between the Philly and houston front offices into a better contract offer.
Rockets never were an option for him
Best fucking news today!! Fuck you harden! Never come back
Monte Morris time
Praise be! Wishing the best for The Beard.
Cool!
