    Keep dat flexibility. Need dat flexibility.
    Nobody worth hard-capping over.
    (I didn't even want them to hard-cap themselves over Butler so definitely not over some mid-tier free agent)

    We should’ve saved that slogan for this year

    Man, you know the only reason the Rockets dont have a couple championships or championship births now is because the Warriors, one of the most stacked teams in history, were in the way. stop it.

    I think most people confuse my realism with pessimism. Morey isn't as much to blame as people are giving him flack for, but he has never been good as people have hailed him to be over the years as well. Sure it didn't go well, but the 65 win season shows us the value of depth and chemistry. Run it back and add quality players.

    I think role players on short contracts for a historic harden are worth going into the LT for. We don't need more egos in the room. Except for when EGO is a no show of course, then more egos are welcome.

    And they still are gonna be trouble as long as Curry-Klay-Draymond are their core also you got a potential giant in Lakers to deal with too with or without Kawhi.

    What have the Rockets done to get better this offseason?

    And don't say the offseason is not over yet because more than half the top FA have already signed and we will rely on bottom of the barrel again

    lol, you guys are posting trash, man... You know damn well everyone on earth was saying the Rockets 2nd round was the conference finals. I guess Portland had a better season than the Rockets because they got swept in the WCF by the Warriors? SMH, these hoe-ass posts by some of you guys, man.. disappointing.

    Other teams got better, but are they better than the Rockets? Rockets started last season with Melo and MCW stinking it up. Rockets were playing at a significant handicap and were still top of the league by the playoffs.

    Klay currently has no ligaments in his knee.

    As long as the Warriors still have Curry Klay and Draymond they will always be a thorn in the Rockets ass. And now they added a 23 year old all-star to their roster.

    I ask you again how will the Rockets get better? Is the goal just to get to the 2nd round or WCF?

    Rockets were the 4ih or 5th best team in the league

    Are we gonna have to rely on Harden going God mode again just to flame away in the post season?

    The Jazz took us to the brink and just added damn good PG and some added depth.

    What have the Rockets done so far?

    Are you guys reading this?

    The Rockets were the best team after the All Star Break.

    Harden went god mode because he had to because Melo Ennis and MCW were not good, injuries, etc and the Rockets were in a hole early

    The Jazz did not take the Rockets to the brink. What the hell am I reading?

    Out of the top FA who have signed, who could the Rockets have gotten?

    Against a fully loaded GSW team, that likely would have pounded Toronto into submission If they were fully loaded. Took them to 6 with a broken Klay and a broken Durant.

    YOU need to stop with the nonsense. You don't punt a top 5 team that had to deal with an insane amount of injuries and diversity last year. You continue to improve and do what got you there. Were you there for all the years we couldn't win a ring with Dream?
