    I have no doubt that he'll get the last laugh.

    That's pretty much all he gets.

    He said we were going to be under tax threshold. But his solution to do it was pretty dumb. (partial points?)

    His solution was arrived at because of his blunt-headed desire to get Capela off the roster. So no points!

    Mistakes fall on both Morey and Tillman. Had ANY of the offseason acquisitions panned out and the Rockets looked like a team that could compete for a title, I bet they would've added more pieces and made "win-now" type moves. Morey really screwed up this offseason.

    We failed.

    It's just that simple.

    This is a wasted season. Another wasted season of Hardens prime. We don't have enough. And we're taking huge risk carrying Capela on a 5-year deal. Morey should have moved CC when he had the chance for reasonable assets. He keeps trying to get peak value that's simply not there. Now we're a Capela knee injury away from being screwed for the duration of the Harden/Paul era. We should have moved CC and Ego out today sms moved to the next phase of competing for a championship . Even if we didn't get a superstar back.

    Our 2016 playoff run, plus the Ryan Anderson contract, plus today may doom us to also-ran status until Harden is gone. This was not a good day.

    One down, 3 to go.

    Anthony Randolph is still available and will lead the Rockets to the championship.

    Did Capela hit on your wife/girlfriend? Did he borrow money from you? Did he say something really mean about you? Every single NBA player is one knee injury away. What would you have done? This is an important question given that most of the guys that you think are better than Capela are out of the league or just terrible. That makes you wrong -- every time. Giving Paul $40 million per year was the risk. The thing that Morey has proven is that he can move on from mistakes and build a roster.

    Yes. Paul's contract is a HUGE RISK!!

    And that's precisely why we can't take the risk of another 5 year deal clogging our cap during this time if Capela goes down. WE CANNOT TRADE PAUL, YOU MORON!

    But we could've easily traded CC today, recouped our lost pick and replaced it with a better one AND gotten other pieces that could help without being stuck on them for 4 more years after this one AND gotten out of the tax and created at least one larger trade exception greater than all of our current year exceptions combined!

    Morey passed.

    This is very risky to do. We're passing in favour of trying to hit a grand slam after the season. I hope it works.

    We cannot take another risk, we are just a bad Harden knee surgery from mediocrity. We could have gotten some assets and multlple players for Harden while he can still play.

    Rockets should take notes from the Bucks on how to properly build around one superstar.
