    i feel like morey saying the warriors are beatable is like that video of harden saying the warriors arent that good. same same.

    literally... no other team's talent will even sniff the warriors panties in the next few years.

    and i hate it.

    The only sort of big names I can think of that are interested in signing with Houston are Gallinari and Redick. Neither of which i think bring a real upgrade to us. I wouldn't mind having them but don't see it changing anything. If we could some how sign and trade Ryno for millsap that would be the biggest upgrade.

    Also lol at anyone wanting to sign igudala just lol at your face. He is not even Ariza caliber. Dude is a system player that showed up 1 game all playoffs. Everyone is acting like he is still like he was in philly.

    So again Morey keeps us on our toes like a midget at a urinal. The only thing up Morey's sleeve is a tatoo of instructions for the Heimlich maneuver. Best investment he's made because it's guaranteed to be used as long as Harden's here. Not a hater but until someone rips his ass for his bullshit play...guess what? Rinse and repeat. There's no one, except LeBron, that would make a difference. Everyone has to defer to Harden. I've said this before, Harden is a reg season hero; playoff zero. Morey knows it. He has to play the game and create hype, but don't get it twisted; Unless serious injuries happen, our ceiling is the WCF and to be honest, I'm cool with that. Reality usually hurts.

    Maybe I am wrong, but I have not heard any team won championship with the top option having FG @ 42%, which Harden has. How far away is Rockets from those champion teams? I assume that if anyone wants to be a champion, they need to play like champion. The top players in both final teams this season had FG above 50%, btw. I do not know how Rockest is a lot closer to those champion teams than any other teams in NBA.

    The current Rockets is build very unlike the 3 teams you listed. They are similar each other, all have core developed from their very own draft picks. Rockets is not.

    Morey is probably just trying to look positive, and i mean, that's understandable...

    If we're talking about players though, when i read "risk" i think about Boogie and Melo (or Bosh lol). Personally not a fan of Melo in any case at this point of his career...Boogie though, yeah, he's a risk, big risk if you want, but he's a terrific talent, still young, we have Lucas...if it works out, you may have the best center in the league.

    Overall, i still think that unless we want to tank, we should go all in in a trade for a star if/after we sign a good/great free agent, and if needed, for the right player, trade basically every asset we have (just don't pull a Celtics-Nets kind of deal, at least don't swap picks in multiple years).

    I saved a guy once using the Heimlich maneuver. I'm willing to teach it to Morey for a pair of season tickets.

    Even if you add Anthony Davis and Paul George you still can't beat the Warriors.

    trade anderson for cousins and sign patterson

    beverly/lou
    harden/gordon
    ariza/dekker
    patterson/Harrell/Qi
    cousins/capela/nene

    and we can still sign one more player and one of our other young playerd/picks might be a solid back up

    I would love Redick personally. We really need more of a stretch forward/D type but Redick would be a great replacement for Lou

    lou isn't going anywhere. reddick doesn't even make this team better if you're putting him over lou and is about to make about double lou's salary
