not sure joining a winning team will change but his stats in charlotte don't look good at all
if he can score 8-10 ppg that's what we needed
because our 6th man can't do that

Jeremy is our sixth man and he averages 10.9 ppg off the bench (14.3 ppg as a starter, 12.7 ppg overall)
Harden is still a work-in-progress. He can score, but he can't help his teammate that much - Yao Ming

McHale should never take out Howard and Harden at the same time. I don't think Rudy ever rested Dream and Clyde together unless it was a blowout.

I really wanted Jimmer. Would have been great next to harden or Lin....maybe bev in situations

Hopefully Troy is able to contribute like Jimmer would have

There is not a free agent out there I think Rockets should have added out side Big Baby. I really don't think at this stage Granger is better then anyone on the bench, love to have but only because I wanted him as a Rocket for the longest time.

We've scored just fine in the games that Harden has missed.

problem is they play differently if haren play the game or not
if haren not playing everyone move the ball
if he's playing we are good when he's playing
when he go to the bench the team play totally different

Deng! Butler to the Thunder, Granger to the Clippers. The East just got weaker and the West just got stronger! Crazy!

Thanks for the honesty.

More is the point, who do we cut if we go for someone like Ben Gordon, or Jimmer??

The East is so weak. Canaan can easily put up 15-5 in a right team.

Dump Asik and Lin and go for a run at Bosh or Melo.
