Where will James Harden play this year?

Harden also added the Heat to his wish list, and while I don't see it happening, Pat Riley loves to go after whales, so I wouldn't be shocked if something happened

Just heard the Heat and Rockets have had discussions regarding a Harden trade, so far Miami is reluctant to include Tyler Herro in a package, I can't see a scenario where Miami gets Harden without moving Herro though, so either Riley relents or more than likely no deal

That cant be true at least I hope not. They have such young chemistry and already have one veteran star. They share the ball well and play roles perfectly. Harden would dismember everything I just said and hes not coachable to my knowledge so you can save the Eric would turn him into a team player.
If harden was smart.. which he isnt. He would stay put.
Wall/Harden is the best scoring backcourt in the NBA imo. I know harden wants to leave because they're playing team ball and D but he would get better looks than what RWB could give him as Wall plays perimeter and outside so well on O.

I agree with you in that I wouldn't bust up what the Heat has going, not for Harden, and if Houston insists on Herro or no deal, then I walk away if I'm Riley, I think Herro is a future star and wouldn't include him in any trade package. You never know what's true or not, but I read Miami's offer would include Duncan Robinson, Kendrick Nunn, Precious Achiuwa, Iggy, Olynyk, KZ Okpala, and two future first round picks. I wouldn't make that move if I was running things in Houston, but I have to consider it if I'm Riley and the Heat. As far as Harden not being coachable, the Heat always feel like they can bring in anyone and have them adapt and conform to "Heat Culture". I'm not the biggest Harden fan, but if Miami can get him without busting up the core of Jimmy, Bam, and Herro, I think you have to at least think about it. Riley loves to go whale hunting, the Heat have been linked to guys like Bradley Beal and Giannis, and he's traded for stars in the past, so we'll see what happens. Like I said, to me Herro is off the table in any trade if I'm the Heat.

I marvel at the size, athleticism and skill level of NBA players.

But I dislike guys who only play hard only on the offensive end of the court.

One trend I noticed about the Houston Rockets and James Harden late in the fourth quarter of road games over the last couple of years: They would build 10-point leads in the fourth quarter of games against inferior competition and then wait for the clock to run out.
