    Id rather just put this deal out of my head, if people from the Rockets are saying its a long shot/complicated deal then you know its definitely not happening.

    Honestly, if the Rockets JUST HAVE TO ADD A STAR....get one that fits this team around Harden. Just go and make the Kevin Love trade.

    I do not understand.

    Guys. Morey.

    Marc Gasol
    Serge Ibaka
    Jeff Teague
    Jerami Grant

    All guys that would be HUGE additions and you have to imagine they are all readily available. Stop chasing the carrot, this would be catastrophic.

    Lol

    He ain't the second coming of Satan.

    Well, he ain't the best superstar, but he is no scrub. Plus Harden likes him.

    Doesn't sound promising

    Or.... maybe Rockets leakers have learned their lesson and now underhype possible roster moves???

    I believe in Morey’s eyes it’s talent over everything else. Fit, chemistry or style. That’s why you get quotes like “the more PGs on the floor the better” or “ acquire more team USA players”

    Agree in that we need to add pieces to fit the team and quit this idea of adding an all-star for the sake of adding a star. Westbrook is an elite player, and personally I think he’s better than Paul, but I’d rather add players that fit the system. Grant and Ibaka would be great fits. Maybe we do a 3-team deal to bring back a guy like Teague for backup PG then add a wing or guy like Ibaka if Capala is unloaded

    Joe Johnson, Carmelo Anthony, and Russell Westbrook back to back to back seasons.

    Anyone think this **** will end in anything but massive disappointment is kidding themselves.


    If Morey did this, I would pray CP3 ends up on the Lakers. They’d kick the NBA’s ass and win the title. Morey would probably get axed.
