    Im not gonna dispute your experiences because they are yours and you can do what you want bro, you a good guy. But for me there isnt anything wrong with believing in your team. I dont care who calls me delusional or if it ends in disappointment, I dont get points for being a so called "realist." I ca be objective when it matters, but I'm always gonna lean homer because I always believe our team has a shot, Harden, Morey and Dantoni I believe in all 3, warts and all. :D
    Man, you can say whatever, the fact is nothing we do is controlling any of this. If you dont have a hope they can win...why are you still here??? You know why, its because deep inside you still kinda think they can pull it off, otherwise why be here. So you can laugh at people with your supposed intellectual superiority...lol cmon guy.

    Maybe we could fool the Nets into trading Durant and Kyrie to us for WB/Harden? Those two dudes had a terrible
    season.

    Then trick the Raptors into trading Siakam for Tucker.

    Then trick the Warriors to trade us Klay for Eric Gordon.

    Shucks, who are we going to play at center? Bringing in Boogie Cousins should be easy.

    And Bam!! We be contenders again!!

    Dude is getting paid around $17-$18 Mil per year for three more years after this season.

    I agree with this. Russ Harden RoCo are keepers. PJ we’ll keep because he’s cheap but we just need to add better big men and better shooters. And when I mean better shooters I mean efficient ones. We literally haven’t had one that great besides EG’s best season with us and Ryno for half a season.
    I would love if we somehow got Jerami Grant Joe Harris and a veteran 7 footer, like Tyson, but like, not retired yet active. Obviously that’s a ridiculous ask for this summer but just saying we’re not doomed. One of those would help greatly.

    Covington deal for 2 firsts
    Gordon 1 first
    WB 4 firsts

    Other teams add bad contracts.

    No....! Russ gotta go! Was a mistake to pick up a 6'3 Center. There is a reason why he has never made it past the first round with Durant. People need to stop blaming the coach and the organization. He doesn't have a good outside shot and it is killing his ability to play in todays space and pace league.

    exactly after i stopped watching rockets after they lost to the lakers at home without AD in January, my life has been so much better, without the daily distress that comes after disappointing performances one after another. i am rooting for Clippers, hope for the best for beverly, Lou and Harrel, these guys represents true toughness, which our superstar JH has none of, he thinks only skill is important.

    Man i miss the Yao, artest day, with Landry, Scola, Hayes, u give me that team, i would watch every single game without a complaint, i just want to see the guys compete, no whining for foul calls, no drama

    People still think we are not 6 months to 2 years before we are in full rebuild mode?

    By 21-22 season, D'Antoni, Morey, and Harden will be gone. We have no real draft pics.Tillman already millions of dollars in the red. I really dont expect much from this team for the rest of the decade.

    Couldn't afford to pay any them while Harden and Westbrook are Rockets anyways. Infact, on closer examination, these players are the best available to surround Harden and Westbrook without demanding superstar money themselves. Either the chemistry gets better or that's it.

    Only thing worse than rebuilding is being terrible and watching another team use your high draft picks to select players. Thanks OP, now I feel even worse.

    Morey has done a good job drafting. Got us Yao, Francis, Mobley, Parsons, Eddie Griffin, Scola etc.

    Give him a few years and he will be able to rebuild another contender

    I’m rooting for a rebuild. Fun challenge and something new to root for. Also, cheaper tickets.
