By Not Go To PostIs Harden maga tho or is he just so self-obsessed he legitimately has no stake in anything at all besides himselfDefinitely more the latter but when you got an owner who thinks like this
Tilman Fertitta feels very hurt by this. He hired Stephen Silas kind of as an olive branch with the players. He was leaning towards Jeff Van Gundy, they (players) wanted Ty Lue; Ty Lue ends up with the Clippers.
“So Stephen Silas is kind of like the compromise between the two parties and the players signed off on it. Now almost immediately, (the players said) by the way trade us.
“If that were the case from the beginning, well then, Tilman would have hired the guy he wanted to hire to start with.”
It's probably for the best
By Dark PhaZe Go To Postbruh Jeff aint the one for a rebuildit's more the "hey I hired a black coach like you wanted" stance.

Let’s see
Have a chance at your player being healthy for a finals run or pay such a small amount of money you don’t even notice
It's amazing how these players go from 0 to 100, everything is good and then they just go all out to get traded, AD did the same shit, I still think Kawhi was playing games with the Spurs. I get it that it's their only way to force the organizations hand into actually trading them but for Harden it seems to be happening fast af. I guess I don't absolve him for all the blame and blame it on management although they are pretty shit.

Just the cost of doing business. Make it 500k and they might flinch.
They'll just end up playing them for a few minutes and then sit them.

And the Confederate Knicks were born
I don't think the Knicks of the south are gonna trade Harden. If he sits out then Fertitta doesn't have to pay him which is probably the best thing for his pockets.
By masud Go To PostI don't think the Knicks of the south are gonna trade Harden. If he sits out then Fertitta doesn't have to pay him which is probably the best thing for his pockets.I'm not sure thats how it would work? I think to not pay him would mean you would need to void the contract and the Rockets don't want that either. That's also a can of worms that the players association and the league don't want to open.
You could fine him to offset the contract but i'm not sure what the limits on that are.
Basically, he will play.
By sy Go To Posti stand with harden.
fuck the rockets

That's also a can of worms that the players association and the league don't want to open.No player has ever held out for an extended period of time so I'm not positive but I'm pretty sure pretty sure the Dixiebockers dont have to cut Harden his bi monthly check if he doesnt report to work.

With Harden having been the responsible party there could be monetary ramifications but he would still be let out of his contract.
By RATHasReturned Go To Postwonder how long it will be up
Well deserved
By Nelo Ice Go To PostObama says fuck the Knicks.;_; why did he leave us
TBH it's better if Harden doesn't show up to camp considering he's about to become a super-spreader.

Complex: Adult Webcam Service Extends Services to NBA to Keep James Harden Out of Strip Club
After Harden's antics made headlines, an adult webcam site, IsMyGirl, sent an email to the NBA claiming that a partnership could help keep the league's stars in check.
"Over the weekend it was announced that Houston Rockets player, James Harden, missed the first practice of the season due to a break of COVID-19 protocols, reportedly attending a party at strip club. The NBA is cracking down on players who break COVID-19 protocols as the season starts and if players can’t keep away from the strip clubs during the season, it will cause a big problem for teams," the email reads per Heavy.
"IsMyGirl, a premium platform for adult models to monetize their sexy content, would like to formally extend an offer to the NBA to partner with the site to help keep players away from strip clubs and Instagram models," it continued. "And if you’re like James Harden, a player known to succeed in cities with the best strip clubs, the players performance may actually improve the more they use the site."
