    I saw on first take that the worst 3pt percentage shooters amounts all stars are players are 1)kobe 2)lebron 3) Westbrook

    I think it's obvious that the triple-double machine doesn't really mean much on his team. Durant watched Westbrook lead his team out the playoffs, also watching Harden carry his team to 2nd seed, WCF, while having 3/5 starters injured over half the season and also moreys Pokemon card type trades with new names in and out.

    If Harden and Durant are real boys like we all know they are then you know hardens has probably explained how JB has also ruined our season. I think there are a lot of behind the scenes convos between them with harden probably explaining, "Morey and les said if you come here they will trade any player and hire any coach we want"

    You don't think Thibs would come coach here if he knew he had harden/KD/Beasley/(another max player?) and defensive role players like Bev/ariza/Kj/Harrell? Sounds like he's fantasy team to me haha

    Despite moreys obsession with trades, he's shown that he is the GOAT of trades and will surround his stars with any player they want and can somehow actually get it done. Houston has shown that their not pussys like OKC and will pay whatever if the chance at a dynasty is present.

    Durant can only form a super team in Houston. If he goes to the Warriors or Spurs super team, then he's just a p***y-ass, ring-chasing cheater. AMIRITE? ;)

    What's crazy, is that even with Durant we might not be the favorite in the West (probably won't be until the spurs or warriors all off). How far off will we be if we don't get him this summer.

    It's sad, but I honestly believe the rockets made their championship run last year. It's just too bad the Warriors cannot be beat (Much like the bulls when they got it going and won 6). I think we would've beaten the Cavs.

    Gotchya. A lot of people agree with that sentiment. I should agree, but I prefer to bask in my homer-ish optimism.

    I think the same, he also had a couple of annoying injuries so yeah, he'll take the money.

    The only reason I could see him leaving is if he is convinced Westbrook is leaving next year. If he does leave for that reason there are more attractive teams than the Rockets especially with how things went south this year.

    If he leaves, he goes East. Even if he came to Houston, we would be 3rd place at best.

    that "3rd place" team would still be better than any team in the East

    It depends on whether or not you have the hiccups.

    If not, I'd only hold it about 20%.
