    Could be interesting if the Celtics get Howard and Horford...

    Why are people surprised, Morey always waits...he just got lucky with Harden being available a few days before camp.

    Given the ridiculous money being thrown around right now, I appreciate his willingness to stay patient.

    The Rockets are in absolute stealth mode right now. Not a peep about Bazemore before 12:01 last night, then boom....we're already meeting with him.

    And again today, we're supposed to be meeting with Horford, but not a single word has come out. Not even what time the meeting is or was.

    Whatever happens, it will be sudden.

    Well, Howard and Smith subtraction is an additional for us. So acctually, it will help us. They had poor shooting and Howard basically gave good defense, not offense. Smith mostly sucks.

    I am happy now.

    That's a tired argument. You're better than that.

    I know ;) just wish for once we would strike early! Almost every off-season we sign one good player a few weeks in and then pick up scraps.

    After everybody turns into bust playing alongside Harden, Rockets simply is not attractive to big FAs at this moment.

    LOL, what? Your idiocy hasn't changed a bit. Look at all the arguments we had before, time basically proves you got everything wrong.

    Morey can't win. When Carmelo was a FA, DM was criticized for going hard after Carmelo and letting the smaller FAs else sign elsewhere.

    Rooting for Dwight and Parsons to go to Portland and Horford to stay with the Hawks, Bazemore will go to a shltty team for more money and that will be the best scenario for the Rockets.

    What the **** are you talking about? Are you an idiot? Do you just sat stupid **** to say stupid ****?

    Who has turned into a bust alongside Harden?

    Lin - Career best
    Parsons - turned into max player
    D-mo - near max player
    Asik - break out player
    Beverley - from nobody to somebody

    Parsons signing a 94 M contract is f'ing insane.
