James Harden is a premier basketball player. I’ll argue to anyone that he’s a top five talent in the league. However, Mike D’Antoni‘s best years were when he had a pass-first point guard in Steve Nash, not a guy like the Beard who likes to hold the ball for upwards of ten seconds at times.
If a compromise is reached by Harden and D’Antoni, the Houston Rockets could be looking at a prosperous future. It’s just worrisome because neither of those guys are known for compromising.

Rahat Huq of Red94 opined on the D’Antoni situation as well as other Rockets issues, notably making a case that Houston should forego the pursuit of an A-list free agent and instead try to stock up on B-listers like Jeremy Lin or Alan Crabbe.
