And then there were two. Two cornerstone players according to James Harden.
With the Rockets’ offseason not going quite as planned. It hasn’t phased James Harden. He’s already taken it upon himself to assign everybody’s role.
Dwight (Howard) and I are the cornerstones of the Rockets.
The rest of the guys are role players or pieces that complete our team. We’ve lost some pieces and added some pieces. I think we’ll be fine next season.

I can’t help it but I’m getting a feeling that Howard and Harden are doing a little bit of damage control. Last week Howard said that losing Parsons won’t affect them. Now Harden is assigning dominance on the Rockets roster.
They’re talking a lot of talk right now. Hopefully they can walk the walk when it counts.
