    You people b**** about Chris Paul but he is no puss that needs to feel warm and fuzzy inside to join a team. God this league is soft.

    You are all pawns in DM’s chess game. It’s a business so if he deems fit you will be traded

    Do agents really decide where their clients can't play?

    Cry me surprised

    This org doesn't know how to treat players and it's going to be a struggle getting big names to come here

    Morey - Come here but you are expendable at any point
    Harden - Go stand in the corner, do the dirty work for me , play D and just make 3's when I pass it to you with less than 5s left on the clock

    Starts and ends with Morey and Harden

    Jimmy Butler: "I want to play for Houston."

    Agent: "I will never let you go there! You play for who I want you to play for!"

    But I will say, NO team is not cold and calculating. Freaking Morey and Tillman have been such clowns about their "confidence". God shut the hell up forever.

    Not suprising to hear. Morey has no clue how to treat players and has no idea what chemistry is.

    Yeah. Like when Chris Paul opted in and got traded under the promise he'd get a long term max contract and then he injured his hamstring and the Rockets gave him that contract anyway.

    I guess they are talking about role players because the Rockets have sure as hell treated their stars well. They've extended Harden (twice) and they signed CP3 to a max contract even though everyone knew it would bite them hard.

    And then could have been traded the very next season but thanks to the albatross contract and no takers, the org had to do damage limitation...

    Haha this is some agent propaganda.

    I don’t doubt at all some agents might feel worked over by the Rockets but the Rockets go out of their way to maintain relationships. End of the day players decided where they want to play, not agents.

    I don’t believe this. Rockets have gotten plenty of quality FA’s over the years, some on favorable deals.

    lol I wouldn't call someone soft because they don't like the idea of going somewhere that views you like an asset. Theres a reason stars always want no trade clauses, so they don't end up in phoenix on a 20 win team.

    This tweet makes no sense. Hundreds of players change teams every year. Be it free agency or trade. Rockets are nowhere close to the worst on this front.

    Playing style as an issue. That’s another thing.

    The main issue is they had/have no cap space and best bet was to convince someone in S&T and they chose poorly on who to target there.

    You mean the contract that most on ClutchFans hate so much?

    People around here want it both ways: Treat the players with respect instead of like assets, but don't give them what they ask for!!!
