Guys, is it too late for us to compete for Zion and Barrett?

Season is already 1/3 complete. Team still in disarray. Zion Williamson is a real possibility. One can only dream.

 

Tilman needs to decide what we want to be this year. make big moves to get into the playoffs or big moves to tank. All this lollygagging in the middle is gonna have us being a mediocre team that misses the playoffs with a pick outside the lottery

 

No, we are still in time.

 

If you want to really make yourself sick 3 of those picks were in one season. Morey had 3 picks in 2012...2 of them aren't even NBA players anymore and one of them is a fringe bench player on a mediocre team...

I've always said that Morey's worst attribute is his drafting. He hits every now and then in the 2nd round, sure, but it's a lot more valuable I think to be able to draft in the first round?

 

Yeah we have plenty of time . Harden and Paul just need to have "injuries" to make sure we don't win too many games . Because even if we are as bad as worse case scenario , James and Chris will still have a hot stretch

 

We tank I see harden and Chris asking for a trade

 

Well we can't trade Chris . No one will take him .

As for harden . He can "get injured" in practice and we can send him on an international tour of the worlds best strip clubs . Have him come back after ASB and get in shape early for next year

 

I don't trust Morey with draft picks. Unless it's an obvious pick like Zion, I think he'd end up squandering it.

No Bol Bol.

 

Tanking would be for the purpose of packaging the lottery pick for a disgruntled star. Too bad Jimmy was pretty much the last one and he was our hometown guy, and we decided Tucker and EGo was just too much! Can't lose our chemistry!!1 Pfft. NO wont trade AD to us in the division. We wont have enough cap to sign KD. Were pretty F'ed. Would have to trade CP3 and Capela to to get cap space for KD if im not mistaken, and then use the lottery pick + whatever you can package for another deal.

 

if I am houston i would keep the 1 st round pick and get a player to build around in this draft

 

I don't know if it's too late to compete for those guys, but it's not too late to be realistic and turn this mess into something good.

I'm still not sure it's too early to give up on the season, it does look like it but eh, i'm glad i don't have to make the decision.

 

We'll find out.

 

Lamb is actually starting and is having his best season so far .

Morey is a fine drafter . But then again he hasn't had a top 10 pick to bust with . The expectations are lower given the spot he's been drafting in . And he's exceeded them .

Brooks , Landry , batum/(Greene who was traded for artest ) , Morris , DMO , parsons , Patterson , lamb , Clint , Harrell .

He has correctly chosen a lot of guys that have been able to stick around and play well.

No stars , but you have to be lucky or picking in the top 5-10 to get one .

I don't think you realize what a hard position he was out in . The mandate to rebuild without tanking is neary impossible . Who else has done it ? Name one team .

 

I tried to tell you guys. Typical clutchfans, prisoners of the moment.

 

We’re not rebuilding

 

I’m beginning to like Barrett more and more. Much better 3 point shooter that has room to grow in height possibly.

I’ve been very impressed by him.

 

Time to pull a Spurs/Duncan. Invent injuries for Paul and Harden. Play all the young guys.

 

REBUILD! LETS TANK ALREADY!

 

This team is a shame. It's time to make a big change to improve the team or trade Paul right now and look at the draft. These players have no heart and obviously there is a crisis in the locker room. Once again, Harden is not a leader and never will be. As simple as that.

 

I can never forget how bad the Kawhi Leonard one was. I remember being so pissed at that moment when we picked the freaking twin over Leonard. Honestly I'd rather have a member on clutch fans choose our 1st round pick, and keep morray at the 2nd round
