    It does seem like they are discretely tanking since every non-move goes south. The problem is that next year's draft will not have "can't miss" type of players. I'm not so sure what FA will be available, but what's the point in going after FA if they don't wanna become " assets or movable pieces of the GM " .

    Sad to see the rockets become this bad of an organization; good thing is that luckily for the rockets we also have the Houston Astros.

    Les Alexander better get ready for even worst attendance and TV ratings continue to go down. Two more years of this and he will probably have to sell the team; he's not Mark Cuban or Paul Allen Rich.

    Nerlens Noel and Shabazz Muhammad are franchise players.

    Yeah, there is no way you could have posted this in one of the 10 or so tanking/hate Morey/Rockets suck threads on the main page. Good job.

    Don't forget Wiggins. All will be franchise type players. Poster obviously doesn't know too much about who is up and coming!!

    They aren't intentionally tanking. Nobody wants to come here and play for Morey so all the offers are being declined.

    Hmm... this year's draft really has only one "can't miss" prospect.

    What are you talking about? What offers? Do you have inside information?

    Morey could not offer the max to Roy or Gordon. The only player we went after so far is Asik and Morey signed him.

    If nobody wants to come here and play for Morey then they don't bother to come to town and meet with the team.

    The Lakers, Dallas, Chicsgo and the Knicks have done even less in free agency. Does that mean that players don't want to play there either?

    The free agent market next year is a lot better.

    If we don't tank this year then we'll be 2 years too late.

    Don't overreact... Offseason just started, we aren't done.

    Plus it's way to early to predict if there are any "can't miss" players. Nobody knew Davis was gonna be as good as he is, Thomas Robinson came out of nowhere. There is probably someone that will surprise us and shoot up the boards just like every year.

    Maybe if some of you went on twitter and told Gordon to come play here...

    The point is he agreed to come play for Houston.

    Unsuccessful is troll.
