    I wouldn't worry about it too much. You have an ignore button and I would recommend you use it if you're too sensitive for the content.

    I won't ignore swyyguy, though. While most of his posts tend to come off a bit on the douchey side, l think he has real issues and tries to mitigate this condition through passive aggressive trolling. He has a mental illness and I hope he gets well soon.

    Morey had three months to lock him up and Presti got it done in less than 24 hours

    Morey was cocky and going on podcast acting like he was unstoppable but presti made him look like a b**** after gaining 2 stars for practically a dollar

    No way you give up Ariza and Gordon. ****ing dumb. They got nothing from OKC. And we have a stacked team with very deep bench. Your dumb threads are not blocking the shine. We have a great team. OKC still has terrible depth.

    No and no. That is why he chose HOU as #1 option. If he thought he had a better chance with WB/PG he would have had OKC as number 1 option.

    Touché

    You are correct on both points.

    Just that, I would feel like a douchebag going to a Mavericks forum asking, "Why did Deandre Jordan not go to Dallas?

    It has to be. And now no one wants to play with Dirk, Harrison Barnes and Mark Cuban.

    Well wait, one could make $15 million plus while wearing a suit & sitting on the bench watching
    the games all year.

    Just ask Chandler Parsons.

    No sleep lost here. No sour grapes either. Did not want CA here. Yes he is a very good player. This edition of the Rockets will be all about chemistry. Anthony is just plain cancer, locker room, court, and where ever else he roams.

    Not too crazy about Paul either. But at least he is a playmaker/distributor. Our bench looks to be formidable and I feel good about Paul keeping everyone involved.

    Pretty sure Morey is still working the phones to tidy up the roster.

    You're unhinged right now and not looking at the big picture.

    My vision of a big picture:

    Houston might be 4-5 seed depending on how well Minnys practically big 4 and OKC work out. We have three injury prone players in CP3/Gordon/Anderson who we definitely rely on. CP3 isn't satisfied and we lose him for nothing at the end of the season after sending half the farm getting him, and houstons back to middle 1st round picks and fighting for a low seed while completely wasting hardens prime. Watch GS own the league for next 5 years

    Another big picture:

    We send Gordon for Melo. Have the best two playmakers and the best stretch 4. Pick up wade in the buyout. Most likely add Lebron next year and be a dynasty for a few years possibly

    What's your big picture? Not trying to be a dick but I'm like Morey knowing it's an arms race and it's not fun knowing the future is now definitely uncertain with CP3

    Remember when Golden State was all in on trying to acquire Dwight? I do. He didn't go there, but it ended up working out for them. They picked up a few scrubs named Iguodala and Bogut. The fans in the bay area were not very impressed, but it seemed to work out for them very well in the end, don't you think?

    As my old man once told me, sometimes the best deal is the one that you don't make. He was drunk when he told me that and I was in pre-k or kindergarten at the time but I still remember it. He was right too.

    Troll thread. But am surprised Melo caved. Basically it comes down to....

    Melo was SO against showing up for NYK media day, that he opened up his NTC to get A DEAL done with SOMEONE on his list. I am sure Houston was #1 on his list. But his PRIORITIES changed "all of a sudden". It was MORE IMPORTANT to NOT show up for NYK media day than it was to go to his #1 choice in HOUSTON.

    Melo caved and didn't #StayMe7o.
