The latest hubbub has James willing to play out this year to see if they can make a run. I think that makes sense for both sides. We aren't going to get a trade worthy of James value but if we still can't make a deep run with this current group of experienced guys it's time to give up. We don't have to trade him now with 2 years left but it's a different story after this year with only 1 left.
I'm not shooting the messenger, but this is the most hilarious thing I've ever seen.

Humanitarian James WILLING to play out this year! How generous of a player making $41.5 MILLION this season to honor his contract!

And he's going to see if we can make a run! Hot take, James! If you're on the team, we're not going to make a run, because you can't ****ing close a playoff game!

I like those jerseys, but wearing the Oilers' colors in December/January doesn't seem like a great idea.

The jerseys look good especially with the accompanying floor. A little weird to see those colors on a Houston team these days but I like it as a rarely used alternate.

That picture of Mo Malone proves that Robert Parrish was the same age for his entire NBA career

Jae'Sean Tate is my new father.

Also, John Wall changes EVERYTHING if this is what we're going to get from him, IMO. If Russ was still on our time last night, the Kings would've been able to easily hide Haliburton on defense by putting him on Russ and having him play 5 feet off Russ. With Wall, Haliburton had to guard Harden several times because Fox had to guard Wall.

Supposedly there was discussion with Golden State about a Harden trade, but it is dead now:

Wiseman+Minn Pick (protected 1-3 in 2021, unprotected in 22) and Wiggins for Harden

I would be enraged if I had the faintest idea what TS and TSA mean.

TSA in this scenario are shots and free throw attempts off of drives. So he's not getting fouled, terrible free shooter and soft at the rim

John Wall looks sensational, albeit against the Kings. Without dating myself too much, reminds me of the year Bernard King came back from his godawful leg injury in the mid 80s.

Couldn't be happier with how Wall looks at this point and Christian Wood is really good. Excited to watch this team play.

Kings are improved. Wouldn't be surprised if they are just outside the playoffs or the 8 seed.

They beat the nuggets twice and the suns once. This wasn't your typical sacramento charity.

I know they are better but if we are going to be a playoff team that is the kind of team we need to beat.

Tate and Sterling Brown have blown any expectations I had out of the water. I love what Silas is doing with our offense

It's time to move on from PJ. Guy is an absolute liability on offense.

Dude is a quite the asset around the league so if James goes I wouldn't be surprised to see him traded shortly after.

Hardaway would be a hall of famer if he got to play the Rockets every night. Can't remember the last time he didn't torch us.

I don't watch a whole heck of a lot. Didn't watch after Covid hit last season.

But this is the third game I've watched and I seriously cannot imagine any coach being ok with our consistent lack of effort on defense. We get beat because were lazy.

Defensively, I think a lot of it is indecision/uncertainty. Bunch of guys, some who are young, that have never played together all under a brand new coach.

I think they'll figure it out.
