    Letting Harden be GM is the biggest mistake this franchise has ever made.

    Trading CP3 for Westbrook ruins ANY chance of Harden ever winning a ring as lead dog in Houston.

    Think they’ll follow a Fitzie trail to the road? What might it take to acquire BP or MM or am I missing ‘the’ name?

    I love ya man, but guys in their 30s that got by on athleticism do not suddenly learn how to shoot - Westbrook is DONE as an elite player, and he is in denial in that he keeps on chucking.

    I have seen this **** SHOW before in Steve Francis - Westbrook and his 40m Anchor contract have killed any chance this team has.

    Morey letting Harden make this call - was the biggest mistake of his career.

    I heard a Rumor that Kevin Durant is now rethinking his Nets signing and is trying his hardest to come to Rockets.

    CP3 is also an anchor contract. Why do you think he's still in OKC?

    It's actually harder than ever. All of us are impatiently waiting for hot takes and new updates on whatever feeds we're watching. These guys go out of business if they carefully research long-form articles once per month. Just not enough appetite for that. So the business (supporting ever fewer real sports journalists) pushes many of them into stupid stunts like this one from Spears. He knows better, but given the attention and retweets of this one take, he can pay his bills for one more month.

    Not kidding. And people wonder why the media is so crappy these days. It's because of the way we consume it and what we reward.

    If you care about journalism, the best thing you could ever do would be never use Twitter.

    If it’s negative about Harden, DD takes it as unquestionable facts.

    I wish CF's forum software allowed up to bookmark posts so we could easily find them later.

    It's true. But what's more important: D'Antoni's mic picked up an irregularity in James's heartbeat, and Morey's guys decoded the pattern in their real-time number crunching, and James had to get a titanium heart replacement immediately after Game 6. Now his whole heart is titanium. Which is why he never goes through airport security anymore. They carry him inside that big black cube, like Prince used to do.

    I find this hard to believe. By saying he knew exactly what they needed to do, it was to get more veterans in. He said it himself , and I believe it. I don't think he was trying to call out just one player in that moment, he just doesn't seem like the type of guy to do that publicly. If he was, I'm sure he would have done so with Dwight which was a more extreme case of not fitting anymore.

    CP3 wasnt exactly a guy that you could easily trade either, so there is no way he could have known it was a realistic possibility at that time, a lot of dominoes had to fall in order for the trade to go down (PG to LA, Butler to Miami, and OKC doing Russ a solid by trading him for an aging CP - they 100% did this as a way to show him their appreciation).

    Harden had got to stop with trying to force split the defense. Can’t waste possessions in a game like this.
