Now we have a better timeline for #Rockets recent mess of events:

- Team loses in 2nd round
- Harden talks to KD (during and after bubble)
- decides he wants out, lets team know he wants trade
- Morey/Tilman attempt to negotiate, give $50M/year contract. Harden declines.

1/3
- Morey resigns, citing “family”
- Morey is hired by 76ers
- Stone promoted; Silas hired
- Westbrook finds out about situation, requests trade (likely happens during Morey resignation)
- WB/Harden rumors surface
- Turmoil article released
- WB trade demand released

2/3
- #Rockets releases denials in press
- Harden trade demand release via press
- notification that demand is weeks old surface

What an absolute mess for the #Rockets. I feel horrible for Stone and Silas.

3/3
I forgot to add MDA leaving right after the #Rockets 2nd round exit. I wonder if he knew Harden was done that far back, and was jumping ship before it happened (along with knowing Morey/Tilman weren’t going to pay him)? Then he is hired on the team Harden wants to go to 🤔
