    I think that this was Rockets insurance lol. They can play Lou Will and George at the 1 & 2. Then Morris, Kawhi and Green at the 3,4 and 5 may be their new death lineup. Doc has so many different combinations of line ups at his disposal.

    The Clippers are going to be a tough out. Jerry West strikes again.

    No, the other 2 you mentioned are as soft as Charmin, Morris is the guy they can use to against small lineups.

    Lol, they are not a tough out, unlike the sh’tty Rox, the Clippers is the real no. 1 contender.

    Well, the numbers are close and asset wise is also close. Hark + really a second round is not much IMO

    Relationships matter in the league. It's why the logo and pat riley can stack their teams. Morey is not in that fraternity.

    This is why it pisses me off that we included a first in the Capela trade. We surely could have matched that offer, couldn't we have?

    House and a higher FRP is competitive with Moe freaking Harkless and a lower FRP.

    Clippers gave up:

    Mo Harkless -- an expiring $11,011,236 the Knicks will likely not bring back next season.
    2020 First Round Pick -- projected to be in the 25-30 range. Same as Rockets.

    Tell me what happened to the green light by Fertitta to go out and spend whatever it takes to win?

    Westbrook -- Harden -- Covington -- Tucker -- Morris

    That's the true contender lineup we needed.

    No player would have to play out of position and we would open up the floor for Westbrook and Harden.

    Rockets fans got fleeced by their cheap owner once again.

    Some teams want to win. Some want to save money.
