    Not to mention that Lebron is entering this season having already played the 9th most minutes in NBA history....and if he stays healthy, he'll be in the top 4 by the end of the season. How much longer does anyone think he has left?

    As long as his supply of human growth hormones is intact to go with his already freakish genetics I can see him being top 5 for a couple of more years

    What chemistry? An 80% John Wall? A hobbled boogie? Eric gordon? Woods is the only person I am excited to see right now. I think the boy has so much potential it is scary. As long as he continues to bust his a$$. Once Harden is gone you better bet that Wall and Boogie are on the next flight out of here. We might be lucky to get the 9th seed or 8th seed this season after Harden is gone. Next season might be a diff story.

    Wall and Boogie look damn healthy though. Wall has been training for 2 years. Eric Gordon looks rejuvenated under Silas. You aren’t excited to see Jae’Sean Tate every single night?

    Achilles Durant counts, but Wall and Boogie don’t?

    Kyrie Irving? :D

    I’ll take C-Wood and Boogie vs AD and Gasol, compared to legitimately cliffside Deandre Jordan.

    I’ll also take Silas WAY OVER Steve Nash...

    Yeah whatever contender harden goes to become favorites to come out of the east. The way the rockets are constructed, we are not favored to come out of the west

    One of the many of the more exciting things to look forward to this nba season is we may finally have conference balance. Or at least much much closer to it. Bucks, Nets, Celtics, Heat, 76ers, Raptors. That’s 6 squads that if any of them make the Finals I won’t be shocked. The spacers and maybe the Hawks are in a next tier of solid ... Hawks might not be there quite yet and need some maturing but they’ve added talent.

    considering the team that acquired Harden has to give something back... I don’t think that team becomes the “lock”... but probably favorites. Even the Nets ... they’d have the most talent on paper but definitely potential chemistry issues

    This is why I get so worked up when I see Harden trades with PJ thrown in.

    Tucker is worth TWO FRP all by his frickin lonesome fam!!!!

    People have needed stimulus checks sooner rather than later and look how that played out. Rockets might have said that just so Harden could feel good.

    Nah this last leak that the Rockets want to trade Harden sooner than later, clearly came from Stone himself.

    It is to pressure other teams to put their best assets on the table while also placating Harden to cooperate.

    We don't want to become like Indiana with Paul George.
    Noone believed he would be traded soon and Indy got bogged down wasting time with the likes of Ainge with joke offers. In the end all offers were low and they were forced to accept a low value package back.

    We want teams to get serious, be YOLO and offer their best right now so we can profit by the best package available. We want the field to join in.
    It's not wise to be left to tango alone with the likes of Riley or Morey.

    Give me Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram and all the picks.

    I want Ingram and Wood to build around. Lonzo keeps our intelligence and tempo control.

    Totally disagree.

    I think Stone would love to be bogged down with James Harden and Christian Wood. Probably the number 1 goal for the Houston Rockets is to bog all this stuff down for as long as possible.
