Just sucks that he's taking a dump all over the franchise and city that's had his back through all of the last 8 years. Win MVP and disappear in the playoffs when it matters? We got you. But you want out and are willing to set fire to our franchise with a craptastic Westbrook trade that depleted us and we get a bag of peanuts in return for you? Man...
Here's the thing with Harden, it really felt like no matter what, he wanted to be here. This was his home and he was never leaving. He always signed extensions as soon as possible and played every night. In return, we put up with the night life, the playoff exits, and the diva treatment. He loved Houston, or so to we thought, and we accepted him and enjoyed the ride thinking thank God we don't have to worry about our franchise pulling a LeBron, KD, Kawhi move and leave us.
Now, he was just like the rest of them only we don't even have a title to fall back on. I feel dirty for ever defending iso ball, talking myself into every stupid trade, and watching terrible basketball in the playoffs. He just pissed on every Houstonian. The thing is, he would have been loved here forever. A modern day Calvin Murphy. Instead, he'll be more like Carlos Beltran.

James is going to lose $567,000 a game while he quarantines.

I'm going to start cheering against the Raptors.
They start the season exiled from Canada and if they lose a bunch of games early they might give us Siakam for Harden.
I honestly think that would be the best possible return.
0-1.

Another reason why the NBA means poop to me. Gotta be PC here or I'll get shot, but who is running the show here? The players or the league?
SEE YA!
SEE YA!
Peace for Ukraine!

If you hate the company you work for, you could quit and sign on with a competitor whenever you like. You can't do this in professional sports because it can hurt the competitive balance of the league. This is completely out of sync with all capitalistic principles and therefore you can't think of sports as a normal industry. Based on their contractual configuration, the answer to your question is "both". Both the owners and the players run the league. Most sports owners aren't these wise businessmen you envision. Their product sells because of talent. If you removed the top 10% of nba talent, nobody would watch the league at all.
I'm kind of jealous the players get to work in an industry where they have so much input/power. In most industries, the talent that actually makes the product move has little voice while unconnected MBA jackasses make crap up.
Good post, except I don't hate Beltran any more than I hate Bagwell for juicing (which I don't... at all).. He was a great team guy and was too good at doing what every good team in the league was doing and he got made an example of. He was trying too hard.
Harden is a selfish bicth that only cares about himself. I only wish he cared enough to cheat to make the team better.

BTW "Russ posts triple double but Wizards still fall", so everything is back in balance there. All we need to do is trade Harden to a team where he can do his empty stats thing and "carry" them to a 3rd place finish & 2nd round exit while we put together an actual team.
If true, Harden won't actually miss a game (or game check)
No Harden is bad for the NBA and they will bend over backwards to make sure the stars get to play no matter how idiotic they act. The post above that said that without the top 10% of players no one would watch the NBA is absolutely correct. It's also the reason this culture of entitlement has arisen both within the team and around the league. The players aren't stupid - they know how the money is made.
I'll be so happy when Harden is gone. Granted, he's an unbelievable scorer. But, I've never cared for his game. And His ambivalence absolutely kills me. Most elite players don't want to play with a guy that dominates the ball like Harden does on offense, and applies such minimum effort on defense. GMs fear he'll disrupt any team chemistry they have.
I find it odd the Heat haven't played Okpala yet. Could we target him in a trade? They could be interested in Tucker to give them a more defensive minded big. Olynyk also hasn't played so if they are buried on the depth chart maybe both for Tucker?
Looks like he'll be the only star on the court.

Glad we are finally starting the season tonight even if it is with a fraction of our team.
Wood vs Nurkic is not a good matchup. This is the type of game where you really miss Cousins.
