Game Day: Rockets (10-4) @ Suns (11-6), Mon 11/24/25

Random thought but I think there’s a good chance the Rockets use FVV and our picks to trade for Harden.

I think that'd be a wild thing for them to do. Our picks are going to be valuable, and Harden is 36 years old and has probably only 1-2 years of productive play left. The Clips would do somersaults if they could get a deal like that for Harden. IMO Houston is not impulsive enough to make a move like that, but we shall see.

They are kinda all-in now that they got Durant. Harden has been very good this year as well…if any team was positioned to cover for a Harden/Durant duo defensively, it’s Houston. Harden is also a Houston legend…it makes a lot of sense…also our picks aren’t looking as good as they once did.

Between Harden's legendary Houston strip club patronage and KD's recent baby-mama rumors, is the Houston adult entertainment scene really ready for this transaction?

In all seriousness, the ultimate sign of respect would be if teams started trading away our 1sts that they have captured from us, because they start to think the picks won't actually be very good after all. (Maybe we could even snag 1-2 of them back at some point, cough cough.)
