    I really wish there was a way to restrict thread starting privileges following losses.

    What’s so fitting about our record being 9-11?

    Are you insinuating that the Rockets 2018-2019 NBA season is as tragic as the horrific events of September 11, 2001?

    Because if so you are wrong...this team is actually so bad, they are heading to a 19-41 record, fitting as that is the first year of The Holocaust.

    If it helps us get Zion Williams, then get her done Morey.

    May as well , its one way to add some talent to a team that has 3 solid players and a first ballot HOFer on crutches and nothing else.

    Harden , Capela , Tucker & occasionally Clark …. Everyone else is meh.

    Trade CP3, Shut down Harden for the season! Let Zhou Qi play 35mpg, China market will sky-rocket. Tilman won't be broke any longer.

    Morey will select some scrubs with the lottery pick, instead of Zion.

    1) If Zion is 100% guaranteed superstar

    AND

    2) We were guaranteed to get him if we tanked

    I would say go for it Because:

    1) We are not winning anything this year anyways. This roster has too many holes and needs.

    2) With our current roster, salary, and the low asset we have, that is the only realistic way for us to land a star player next to CP3 and Harden.

    Unfortunately, there are no guarantees with tanking either.

    Les was against tanking. Who’s to say that Tilman (sp?) is? We were unable to get Jimmy B. Right now we can’t even play .500 basketball. Any major move requires significant dismantling of your assets. This may be the best thing for this team.

    Let’s go the route of San Antonio and build our dynasty! (IDIOT??)

    Trust The Process! Chants will soon start breaking out in a Toyota Center near you.
