    I don't wish injury true to any player, even if I absolutely hate him. It's a sad sad thing

    Well realistically, if he is done (and i've said it is a possibility, again though I don't know. If what the doctor says is true then it sounds like this particular injury is not a problem.) but if he is, he's not signed for long. So it's not a Amare Stoudamire situation.

    It would just mean that Morey would put all his cards on the table and try to do what he could and go after Harden's pal Durant knowing that Dwight's money would be off the books.

    Why would Durant go to Houston? For Harden? He's got a good thing in OKC.

    Why would Durant pick Houston over DC would be a better question.

    Especially when Wall is the purest PG in the league.

    Yeah, him and Harden are pretty buddy buddy...supposedly he's better friends with Harden than he is Westbrook.

    I don't know why he'd leave OKC, but that rumor train has started already.

    Durant is already pretty familiar with the state, playing in OKC and being a Longhorn. It's really not a farfetched idea (Rockets have a history of wooing FAs as well) players don't go running to play for their hometown team any ways outside of Lebron. It's usually said to be too much of a distraction.

    I wouldn't sell friendships short in the NBA.

    How would that work? Howard is on the books until the end of the '17 season. Durant is a FA after the '16 season.

    Yes, DC is his hometown but stylistically he fits them with Wall better than Houston with Harden. Also playing in the East means he is pretty much guaranteed ECF every year.

    Howard has a ETO, which is funny because it was always considered. "We hope he resigns." and it could turn around into the opposite if his injury is serious.

    With that said, the Rockets would have to do some maneuvering to get it to work, I'm no cap expert but over on Clutchfans there's a guy that's great with it. It's possible though, that's what I meant by Morey putting all his cards on the table which pretty much means a series of cap clearing moves.

    Either way the point I was making is that Dwight isn't a long term problem like Amare was when he had his injury issues. No one really knows who will go any where years from now any ways, the stuff with Harden are just rumors as is anything.

    I do know though that Harden worked on getting Dwight here, like...that was a long term thing. That he knew was upcoming as in trying to befriend the guy during the all-star game the year before and admitting that he was recruiting. Kind of like the Miami get together, that was a long term thing that those guys talked about long before it happening.

    I think if you get two guys like that together they make it work. They already have played together and have been to a finals together. I think it could work. I think it would work better than Harden/Dwight works, Harden is a pass first guy as crazy as that sounds. He spends a large chunk of games supporting and then scores in chunks here and there. He kind of needs someone to dish it off to and just play off of every now and then. Motiejunas scores pretty well but they never post him up any ways so...

    Either way it's hard to say what is in a players mind. Wall's a terrific player, I wouldn't even be mad if he went there. As long as he's not one of those dumb "I'm going to play in NYC or LA and raise my brand name!!" guys and basing his decision on who he thinks he can win with then Washington would be a great choice too.

    It's so far off and I hope I don't even care about who to pair with Harden because I'd rather just have 4-5 more good years with Dwight playing great.

    Bone on bone is better than the boning on underage girls he was doing last offseason.

    For Harden to take 23 foul shots is the reason why I hate the NBA. He attempted as many free throws as our ENTIRE TEAM.

    Harden is the most manufactured star in the league.

    Reading their game thread... I understand the complaining about the refs. every fan complains about them.
    What I don't understand is how anyone could think the foul Nards gave on Harden with 52 seconds left in the 3rd quarter.... how anyone could believe that was a flagrant?

    Honestly regardless of "not going for the ball" it's not a flagrant. be different if he hit him in the face... But Harden didn't even grab for his face...
    I'd say the same thing if Lillard or Aldridge got hit like that.
    Common foul.. Move on.

    Playing for the most entitled fan base in the league. I never thought anyone would pass the Lakers in that regard, but when the league coddles your stars, the sense of entitlement seems to flow down to your fans - and get magnified in the process.

    I think Harden should try out for Dancing With The Stars. The way he shuffles his feet, he'd be a natural.
