    When you say us are you referring to the Bucks or the Rockets?

    He chose to meet with Boston and Miami because they have an easier path to the finals than out West.

    what are you stupid?

    There are people saying its a 50/50 chance...I think you lack the ability to put this into perspective. Of course I would love KD coming here, but abandoning our real goal of working towards picks and developing our future is the only way to go as of now (most likely).

    I would love to ( * ) Scarlet Jo. Is it impossible? No. Is it very very unlikely? Yes.

    Learn to read before spouting stupid nonsense.

    Here it is again, battling reality because your premise is false.

    The rockets as a team are close to the bottom of the league, and "best buddy" nonsense sounds like you're scripting for nick jr. movie. Every team will have a ton of money this summer, the rockets were attractive even mid season last year but they have had so much unpredictability that they look like a hot mess nobody would want to come to. You're angry that Houston is lumped there because you don't understand why we are...which is why me going on any further is useless.

    I know you will turn this into insider source credibility, but try to understand where we are my friend.

    Not really. He just said something nobody wanted to hear so people desperately tried to say he was wrong, then when it was confirmed by Woj people finally accepted what blatantly was obvious all along.

    Thank you. Its a never ending battle with these guys.

    I've been saying it from page one and been attacked for stating the reality.

    Then even when somebody comes along and reports something "they aren't credible".

    Then they attack certain aspects of the report because they themselves are so out of touch with this team.

    I love to read a Rockets fan with logic and passion. I must agree.

    If you don't know that Stein is a troll then you haven't been paying attention long enough so I'll accept your ignorance on the issue. It doesn't mean he's always wrong, it just means that the BS he puts out is questionable.

    Woj on the other hand, is not questionable.

    Have you stopped treating a complex issue like a simple one yet?

    I know as fans we let our emotions get in the way to want a dream team with Lebron, KD, et al because they love doing pushups and drinking juice with Harden but there are other adult matters that are far more important. Its good to take a step back and evaluate those with a non-biased and clear head.

    Just for future reference.

    Insiders assume 80% of the time and if they get any information it was done intentionally.

    ONLY KD AND HARDEN KNOW (POSSIBLE BEASLEY) WHAT HE IS GOING TO DO.....maybe a few other friends.

    I love the confidence in your thinking that you banging out scarlet johansen isn't impossible.

    Sure, Stein is wrong on things, so is Woj even. But when something so blatantly obvious to any rational person is said, it's reasonable to think that on this occasion, he's correct, which he was.

    And, as would be expected, a simpleton like you doesn't understand the basis of an analogy. Thanks for showing me your level of thinking.

    It's "blatantly obvious" to those who are in the depths of despair and are being incredibly pessimistic about pretty much everything. That's not really rational though. The fact that it looks like he might be right is irrelevant, he's still a troll, he just might have been right this time. Of course we still don't know that for sure. San Antonio wasn't given one of the first meetings with LMA and we all know how that turned out.

    I think it's pretty obvious that I mean the Rockets.
    Pretty difficult to sign with us when he doesn't even meet us.
    ALSO why would harden know what KD is planning to do? What is he? His wife?

    I'm surprised the Houston Dumpster Fire isn't a leading destination for a superstar looking to win his first ring.

    Has someone told him were making a marketing push for DMo, best boxer outer in the league?

    1) There is no despair or pessimism. There is just rational thinking that Durant won't join the Rockets, which he won't, which was obvious to many. It's not pessimistic, it's realistic.

    2) San Antonio didn't get the first meeting, but they were always, ALWAYS, thought to be a favorite for LMA, and hey...what do ya know? He went there. Not sure what the point of that statement was.

    3) Once again...you can choose to entirely ignore Stein, which is fine, but don't disparage those who choose not to. If Stein said something like "76ers thought to be contenders for Durant", then yeah, that's dumb. But saying something as realistic (and obvious) as the Rockets are not thought to be serious players for Durant, then yeah, that's just obvious and something to be taken as realistic. If he's wrong he's wrong and everybody's happy, but the odds of him being correct were pretty overwhelming.

    Even saying that its blatantly obvious is being too kind...if you aren't a complete idiot sounds better.

    If you can't even admit that, there's no point in reading anything else you're saying. You can't start out with a lie and have people think what you have to say is valid.
