    Although having boogie on this team feels like a wet dream, i wouldnt trade for him.
    What makes us a great team this season? Sure, its the underdog mentality, the new coaching stuff but to me it's primarily the team chemistry. And i really feel like boogie is a cancer in terms of team chemistry.
    One guy i really want is Paul george. His team sux and he is a great player and defender. But the question is what we give up for him? It has come to a point where i have like 8-9 players that i dont want to see traded. I really like our starting lineup and especially gordon. U can't trade Nene imo because he has taken a trash contract to play here. I really want to see what dekker and capella will develop into. And honestly Harrell is one of my favorite players in the NBA. So what do u give up for a guy like george? Theres really not much left.

    That remains to be seen though, i mean, on paper you're right, but we don't know what the Kings want in return (Boston has picks but literally zero front court talent, and you have to think the Kings will probably ask that if they trade Cousins), and we don't even know where Cousins wants to be traded eventually, this can/should also play a part at this point of his contract.

    Not saying we're potentially on front, but imo better placed than some people think.

    Oh sure. But here's the key. I'd DeMarcus doesn't want to play there they're not going too out a bigger pile of assets on the table. My understanding is DeMarcus is very interested in playing here. I've been told he's very close to James.

    Seriously, what is your hard-on with this guy. He's a born loser with an NBA franchise and he is not coming to Houston for that very reason.

    If the thing with james and boogie is true, i'd really like to have boogie. The only thing that bothers me to trade for cousins is chemistry. If he has a friend in james coming in and especially a close friend, it would be awesome to me.

    I've been worried about chemistry too with DeMarcus being so ball dominant. But if they're buds, and DeMarcus wants to come then he knows the gig when he gets here. The other thing is DeMarcus has been showing off varied perimeter skills for the last year. Im more confident in his ability to fit our system. He is a very talented player.

    Can you watch the game before making that statement ?

    I like discussion but Capela played well tonight , for some reason d'antoni decided to try and match up nene, Harrell , and even Anderson on Lopez .

    So what if Cousins will be here. Let him get his selfish points like he always does and still lose.

    Capela had 17 and 10 vs cousins last game . Capela has also had games where he's held his own against : Drummond , Adams , and Gobert .

    Capela is still a young player therefore I don't expect him to be incredible every night , but he figures things out at a quick pace and looked fine this game .

    I FIGURED IT OUT!

    everyone and their dead baby great grandmama knows that the basketall gods are not pleased with the rockets' hot first quarter and what seems to be firs thalf of the season. you know when they make their rounds they're gonna do something awful to this team. thats where ryan comes in. he's intentionally shooting like pile of horse sht so when the basketball gods unleash their might on the rockets, ryan will go off for 30ppg with at least 5 threes a game. he'll avg a doublre double. and he'll be the reason why we make it to the finals. after that its all on harden

    what a buncha munipulative bastards! well played murray, well played.
