    True story: When Allen Leavell was cut by the Rockets in 1986, I shot free throws side by side against him in Dan Patrick’s bar and hit more than he did. I was 14.

    My dad took me to the bar so we could watch the Rockets game there. Allen walks in and my dad couldn’t talk to him fast enough. My dad was a big fan because he went to Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana where Allen was from.

    So my dad started bragging to him on how well I could shoot. Allen walked over to me where I was shooting free throws and we started talking. Super cool guy, he was very nice and down to earth. We decided to go head to head and I hit more. And yes he was trying. Haha.

    **** no I won't do that. I don't want to post the same thing over and over, I'm just getting mind numbing repetitive replies filled with narratives taken out of Tilman's playbook. And @J.R. called it that this would be the stupid narrative well before the deadline. Ridiculous.

    If you think we have a 30-40% chance by adding Kief, there's not point us even having this discussion. We don't have to add an All Star. We just have to not settle for only Shumpert.

    Itll also force them to play traditional pick and roll defense(cause they almost entirely switch with us) cause theres no way they want that switch to happen. I really wanna see what happens when we play them in a couple weeks.

    Mind numbing repetitive is what you are posting on several threads.

    You act as if we can get any player we want and teams would be grateful to take back whatever we offered.

    If you can't suggest one plausible scenario to get a player you wanted, you are b****ing just to b****.

    I'll make it easy for you name one player who changed teams this year that we had the assets to move the needle like you wanted.

    Exactly my thought. I asked him to provide a trade or a solution but his answer was " i'm sure you like some to be signed" so he answered my questions by asking me a question.

    They can try, but Capela is coming out and setting the pick, and if Cousins doesn't come to play Harden will destroy them from 3.

    The game will be super interesting. We tend to force the switch harder in the playoffs though, will be far more prevalent imo.

    That's it in a nutshell. Haven't used ignore here for so long but finally forced to do it so I don't have to read a million "The Rockets are doomed" posts from the same poster every day when I come here to get my fan on.

    I'm just replying, I've been hoping people would stop repeating Tilman's narrative of "there was nothing, so what could we possibly do?!?". If you want me to stop replying, there's an easy solution. If you want different answers, ask different questions. Very simple.

    GSW has only one roster spot. They cant add both him and Rolo so someone will be left.
    I wouldnt be surprised if the Bulls out of spite waited till GSW picked up someone to buyout Lopez.

    Bottom line,

    Is the team better right now than it was last season if healthy?

    Is the team better than it was at the beginning of this season?

    We're talking about a team that gave the All Stars Warriors all they wanted last year.

    Morey has done his job.

    yeah that was the final straw for me, at least have a player who was reasonable get if you wanna keep crying over multiple threads.

    he is crying about Butler and says it does not have to be Butler, DA F.

    What did you want done that would've been feasable given the assets the Rockets had to trade?

    See here's the repetition. I've answered this exact question. We went plus after we went minus. Did we make gains after getting worse? Yes.

    Are we in better position at this moment than we were in the WCF? No.

    Responded to this request, check post history.

    What would you know of insight? You literally have none. All you do is b**** that we haven’t spent enough money and if we don’t Surround harden with five all stars he will leave. And you will keep repeating that same mindless dribble until that happens we get it,

    You jumped in to the discussion with literally nothing but 2 personal attacks. I am being critical of the team's moves. Check yourself. Bye.
