They lost to the Lakers, got blown out.

We know the situation.

He's been on the trade block.

The Rockets are holding out for the best possible package they could get.

As I mentioned, the NBA trade deadline is in March.

But James Harden, essentially last night, told the fans, Listen, I have literally given you everything I got.

What more do you want from me?

Which is not good enough?

Uh, chemistry, talent, My just everything.

And it was clear.

Um, like I said, these last few games from the from the beginning of the game, it was just aggressive.

Patron team, obviously championship team.

And, you know, one of the best things that we have in this league.

I love this city.

I literally I've done everything that I can.

I mean, this situation is this is crazy.

You know something that I don't think you'd be fixed, so yeah, Thanks, Jay, um demanded a trade for the first time was nonverbal.

When he turned down the $50 million a year extension $50 million a year extension.

He turned it down, said No, I'm good I don't want the money.

I'm trying to be out now.

He actually verbalized that telling everybody, Look, I don't wanna be here.

It's only 10 games into the season, 10 games into the season.

Kate, What's gonna happen when we get to 20?

When we get the 30 Raphael Stone, they need to really highly considered how chaotic and how problematic this is going to be of discontinuous.

Yeah, I think they I think they're gonna move him at some point.

They're just waiting for the right deal.

That's out there.

The Thio come to fruition, I'm sure.

And this is the first time verbally, much like you mentioned that he said something.

And again, I go back to One of my biggest things is when a player finally says that he doesn't wanna be.

There is time for the organization to part ways, and I think they will at some point in time.

Very soon.

The last thing I would say about this we have all praised the new head coach, Stephen Silas, who was put in a nearly untenable position.

We have all praised the general manager, Raphael Stone, as have mentioned there by J, coming in waiting to get the right opportunity.

But this is one of those moments in sports, and I'm giving these dudes the benefit of the doubt there in those positions for a reason.

But this is the reason where sometimes a little gray behind the temples and having some experience either the head coach or the general manager manager position is vital.

This is going to be the biggest asset.

They either move or get back in return, no matter how long these guys were in their positions.

That's how talented Harden is.

And right now, if somebody that's pulling the trigger has never been a head coach and never been a GM, you just gotta step back and say You're in this job for a reason.

But I'm a little bit nervous.

I'd rather have somebody that's been there and done that.

Just my opinion zooming It could work out in their favor.

Just consider there are a lot of teams in Eastern Conference right now that are going through injuries that are going through Cove it, you know, uh, covert protocol, A lot of players missing time.

So if you want to make a move in the east, it might work out in Raphael Stones favor, but there's no doubt there's a time crunch.

You got it in 20 minutes.

By the way, we'll talk to the front office insider Bobby Mark spent over 20 years and NBA front offices, and the Rockets are a singular problem.

The league as a collective problem like, are we going to make it to next week?
