    By the time we're contenders Harden is going to be a shell of his former self.

    I don't want to tarnish my view of Rockets Harden.

    Already went through that with Steve Francis during his second stint here.

    That's Crazy talk.

    Mobley 15.0 pts per game 8.2 rebounds and 28.6% (3P%)
    Wood 17.6 pts per game 10.3 rebounds and 37.1% (3P%)

    point is everything you want Harden to do with Mobley he had the
    opportunity to do with Wood prior to departure.

    Wood can do it all except set a good screen. But about the same as Mobley.

    I'd trade Kevin Martin and Jeremy Lamb for him

    Why are we acting like Wood wasn’t eating and leaving no crumbs when playing next to Harden?

    Wood averaged 23 ppg on 53% shooting with Harden, and in the 1st 4 games before Harden checked out, he was dropping 24 ppg on 56% shooting while Harden was averaging 11 apg.

    Harden-Mobley would be amazing, but it’s fantasy so it is what it is

    I wouldn't put it past Tillman to trade Woods, EGo, Green and 2 Nets first round pick to the Nets for Harden.

    He'll give him a new 5 year 250+ million dollar contract and think of all the money he'll make when the prodigal diva... err I meant son returns.

    mobley is elite defensively. Wood plays lousy defense. Mobley is already better than Wood as a complete player.

    Harden is my favorite player, but he’s just not the same player as he was in 2018

    I can't wait until he retires in Houston.

    What he did for this team and us fans was nothing short of miraculous, even if he fell short consistently.

    But go to Philly and try and win a ring first. See you in 3-4 years.

    Its incredibly hard to be Hakeem. Only about 10 players in history have been as good or better. That's rare space.

    He's playing a different role with new rules

    Unless KPJ makes a leap, best guard available in the draft.

    Harden is a big man maker. Give him a guy 6-10 and up and he'll make dude look like an all star

    Wood plays elite defense when he wants to....I'm talking help defender.
    Mobley is a help defender as well. The 245 pound Jarrett Allen takes
    on the heavy weights near the rim.

    Wood just has a history of injuries and is trying hard to avoid them as he
    is bucking for a big pay day in the form of a max contract.

    The legend of Mobley keeps growing. Next week he will be the fish that got away and
    was the size of Mobley Dick.....I mean Moby Dick.

    He is serviceable defensively at best.

    Put him next to Bam Bam on one side and Jimmy Butler on the other....

    Then you will see Elite Elite defense (Defender)

    I have more faith in Jalen Green becoming the next Kobe than I have in Harden leading The Rockets to anything good...

    He's my third favourite player of all time, but I don't want him back on his next contract. Wrong timing and bad for the rebuild. Now, if he's still playing and wants to come back the contract after? Then I'm listening.
