What can go even more wrong? In the last seconds of game 4 which is a 40 pnt blowout Dwight stumbles into Sewer and they both get seriously injured. Dwight then quickly opts in even though he will need 12 months rehab and wont play at all next season. Jones teaches Harrell how to beat up hobos and they both get arrested ourside a club. We end up giving Barnes the max and sign Jefferson to a contract. To celebrate big Al goes out and eats his way out of the league in 3 months. Morrey tries to get SVG but instead he can only sign Byron Scott who angers Harden and two months into the season he demands a trade. Les then fires Morrey and hires Isaiah Thomas. Then Thomas proceeds to trade Harden to Chicago for Rose. Rose manages to play 2 games and then gets injured as usual.
Watch us win a game or two and delay the coaching search just long enough to take us out of the running for the best candidates.
This could go here if the Rockets really want Brooks. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">ESPN sources say Washington is actively intensifying its Scotty Brooks pursuit in hopes of sealing a Brooks deal before Houston's job opens.</p>— Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) <a href="https://twitter.com/ESPNSteinLine/status/722879935103152130">April 20, 2016</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Thanks for reminding me. I forgot there are some bad things that can't legally happen. Maybe the Murphy scenario here is that Denver packages our pick with their pick ... I wonder if this is GM job insurance: lottery-protect the pick because otherwise, if the other team gets a Simmons with it, your city will go ballistic and you'll get fired.
Even if they do they cant get to no.1 or 2 with such picks in such a bad draft. Worst case is that Denver hits on a Kawhi Leonard type hidden gem with the Houston pick. I.e drafts Thon Maker and he actually is the real deal and becomes a superstar.
I wish this team is going to be defeated sooner, so JB has no a chance to get an extension, and a search for a new head coach can be started soon.
This is how it ends (game 4 vs Warriors): The Rockets battles it out with 2:50 left to go in the 4th, tie game at 98, Kerr tries the hack-a-Dwight. Dwight smirks at the free-throw line and gives a different free throw ritual, you can hear him mumbling to his teammates in disgust as he yells out, "I can shoot free-throws!". He sinks both free throws with fluidity, effortless, and perfect rotation. Kerr commands his team to hack Dwight, over, and over - same results. Dwight sinks all 12, the ball only touching the net, with great arch. Rockets then lead by 10 with less than 2 minutes to go. Dwight casually walks back on defense. The fans are outraged, but amazed at his ability to give the Rockets a cushion. Warriors catch up with several 3's to tie the game. Warriors ball with 1 second. Warriors tries to inbound a pass to Curry, but instead finds Bogut at the 3. Bogut throws up a granny shot towards the goal and finds its way down to the side of the rim - Dwight swats the ball away just before it grazes the rim. The refs blows the whistle for goal tending. The fans are furious and throws beer on the court. Harden slips and falls on top of a laughing Dwight. The Rockets finally turns the corner, by attacking the fans. Les cancels his lease with Toyota Center and moves to Dallas, sharing the arena with the Mavs. Toyota Center then turns out to be The Church of The Woodlands and a showroom for Gallery Furniture.
It can get worse... ...knowing that Harden is out for the whole season, Morey wants to tank and infuse some much needed talent to the team, but Les won't allow it and forces Morey to trade our picks for middling vets in order to maintain a winning record. Harden comes back the following season to a mediocre veteran team, endures a terrible season with no pick, and bolts to LA in the offseason.
Listen, once I'm running things, everyone will want to play here. Leroy James, Curry, and all the great ones. Magic, Larry Bird and ... that, you know folks, that muslim sky crane guy... We will unleash a lineup that could beat the Nightmare Team or whatever it was. It's going to be so great and only I know how to do it. (sorry)
By the way, you guys are REALLY good at this. My favorite flight plan, containing many of your ideas... Dwight Opts in Harden demands trade, cites negativity of Houston fans, ends up with New Orleans, turning them into perennial playoff contender. Desperate for any fan revenue at all, Morey signs Lin. Les fires Morey and JBB at the same time. Hires obscure friend as GM and Mark Jackson as coach. Turned down by all premier free agents. In addition to Lin, Rockets end up signing only Bismack Biyombo and Roy Hibbert, giving us three of the stiffest centers in the NBA.
For me, that would be the cherry atop this **** sundae season. If he leaves, we'll have enough money to hopefully bring in a quality player. If he stays, we'll only have another season of don't-really-want-to-be-here Dwight Howard. <BR>
This is the worst case scenario, what would be worse is if he injures himself before offseason courting period. It would then knock us out of contention with many FAs and likely by the time he comes back he'll be threatening to be a FA himself. It will pretty much set the Rockets back years.
