Harden wants out, only has 2 years left of team control, just turned down a record breaking extension. He is also on the wrong side of 30. It's also obvious he doesn't want to play with Westbrook. Also PJ Tucker is livid about his contract situation. Also, their fans know what the ceiliing of this team is, and coasting to a 7th seed and 1st round exit excites no one into buying season tickets. This isn't like the Kings, Suns or Wolves fanbases who are desperate for a playoff appearance. So I find the idea that they're just going to live unhappily ever after for the next two years and half empty stadiums to shoot for an 8 seed to be far fetched, when they can speed the timeline on an inevitable rebuild up by a couple of years. The way forward for the Rockets is to draft another star player, and the sooner they blow up the team for draft picks the sooner they can start taking swings. They've already started the process.
