    We'll never know what happened to JAMES, we're tired of complaining.
    Morey is going to try to make some moves for sure.

    Do you think he should pursue players that fit the system (3's, layups..), and can play alongside HARDEN, or bring talented players regardless of their fit and their position?

    Morey will go after talent and look to avoid post up bigs, that is the main type of player that won't fit here.

    We need Ariza and Ryno upgrades. We need a secondary playmaker and #2 option that can take the pressure off of Harden. He has to do too much. His usage rate is too high. His playmaking burden is too much.

    WHY NOT BOTH!!!??

    but seriously, I would go with talent, even though that has burned the Rockets in the past (Dwight, Lawson)

    There is no doubt Harden will have another game 5 and 6, Rockets will need players that will be able to take the reigns when a shadow organization puts in the call for Harden to throw the game.

    I don't know how we'd make it happen; but one of Paul George, Jimmy Butler or Gordon Hayward need to find their way into a Rockets uniform next season. We need a second star. That much is clear.

    I don't think Blake Griffin, Chris Paul or Melo would help but they'll all be available too. I think Millsap or Lowry could help next season but would be terrified to give either of those guys a big deal at their age.

    Definitely talent and not just talent, all-star talent. Harden has shown time and time again, he can't be relied upon under the spotlight. We need a second star to take over the duties of actually giving a damn when Harden shrinks.
