#Rockets thoughts - Goodbye Harden

I’m happy we as a fanbase are moving on, but I still cannot ignore the sadness I feel about Harden’s departure.

Putting aside his immaturity the last few months, Harden has been a capstone for this organization, and him leaving an end...

1/7
... of a wonderful run for this franchise.

Harden carried #Rockets teams that frankly would’ve been lottery bound year after year and he likely would’ve won a championship (or gave LeBron a run for his money) in 17-18.

I will continue to appreciate his contributions.

2/7
There is so much Harden should take blame for in regards to how the last few years were handled, and ESPECIALLY the last few months. I hope takes time to be honest with himself about that.

But I’m grateful that the situation is not over the #Rockets heads any longer.

3/7
This 20-21 #Rockets team doesn’t have full championship potential. But it was disrespectful and wrong for Harden to say what he did, and do the actions he instigated. I have lost respect for him about that, and that will tarnish many fellow fan’s feelings about Harden.

4/7
But I will truly miss an engaged and happy Harden in Houston #Rockets gear, and I hope someday there will be amends made to fix that relationship. Because Harden deserves to eventually get recognition as one of the Rockets all time greats.

5/7
But it’s now time to move on, and cheer for a group of guys who genuinely want to be a #Rockets player and contribute this season. Wall, Wood, Cousins et al. are great and I’m excited to see how Oladepo may or may not fit.

6/7
I’m also so impressed with Rafael Stone and the #Rockets front office staff, as well as Silas and his coaching staff. They were placed in a situation that was absolutely dreadful and they have been wonderful. ( #Tilman aside)

Let’s officially kick off the new era. 🤘🏾🤘🏾
