    Will LA pull the plug on DM and hire XL to run the front office? Too bad no one took us up on that Brewer for a top 10 pick offer.

    It's gonna be bad when Harden bolts for greener pastures.

    what consists of a strikeout? Missing on the big names?

    I'd be happy with a bunch of 40% 3 pt shooters surrounding Harden in this system.

    I just hate this crap. I don't even really care about the Rockets after this year and this is the first time I have ever felt this apathetic about it. We can't get trades done because we place crazy values on our trash players. If we don't hit a HR in free agency we are really screwed for awhile. Morey won't do crap tonight and will just bunt when we don't get KD.

    We prefer shooters that can't shoot.

    "Our philosophy is if we loaded the 3 point line with enough crap shooters, the scouting report will tell the opponent to sag off and leave ample room for those shooters to make it rain."

    Start over?. We are starting over.

    Why put us into oblivion?. We have harden a superstar who we should keep. Way I see it everyone could be traded on this time at any time.

    It's mixed but if the nerlens Noel trade has any truth seems like morey has no problem trading his base core

    start over as in blowing this team up and yes that includes trading harden. harden is definitely bouncing when he a FA in 2018. might as well get something for him

    You guys are using the wrong formula. 4 20% three point shooters is just as good as 2 40% shooters.

    •Horford likely headed back to Atlanta
    •Everyone who can offer their players 5-year max deals(Horford, Conley, Batum, DeRozan), the incumbent in all those teams are the front-runner to keep their guys. High level max players may not be changing teams in FA.

    Add that a lot of restricted players will be matched.


    Whiteside or bust?

    That's why Ryan Anderson is highly possible to command a range of 17-20 mils per.

    LOL.

    Prob not... Morey is the perfect fast talking shill for Les' money grabbing... he'll occasionally pull something out his backside - but always have a reasonable excuse if it doesn't pan out... all the while hyping you on the future...

    Success is not about wins and losses and championships... it's about how much more money Les can make...

    In Morey I (used to) trust... smh...
