[Stein] Durant NOT considering Rockets

stein's report may be right, but his reports always seem to slight/disfavor houston. kinda have to take everything he reports with a grain of salt, he doesn't seem like a disinterested journalist. he seems like he pushes agendas based on what people tell him

Of course, our chances depend on us improving and yes IF we improve the team we have a shot, if we dont improve it then we are out.

I can understand the negativity and cynicism, i dont agree with that but i respect it if people like you do, its alright the odds are against me. However we can agree on one thing. With the team as it is right now we are not getting him.

 

Zeke got confused at KD's MVP acceptance speech. He is actually trying to sign "da real MVP".

 

But your mother would.

 

Clippers to sell Durant on a 'Big 4'

 

Clippers: Come play with us for free. We have no money but we could have a big 4.

KD: How are you better than the Rockets when Harden and a team missing a bunch of starters beat y'all?

Clippers: See that's what we have in common! We've both given up 3-1 leads!

KD: .... {walks out}

This is a point in which we can have the lead, if we sign Horford and Durant now we can still have room for a max next season.

 

Pitch that we will sign Westbrook next year

 

We can't be in the lead with an angle in negotiations that we aren't even a part of.

 

Well, obviously.

Miami has what? Wade? It's 2016. Plus, Bosh's career is uncertain. Boston has Isaiah Thomas. We have Harden (friend of KD) and cap space as well.
