    That's what we're trying to tell you lol...that's why tanking isn't the best of ideas.

    Why do they have to go? They don't.

    The Rockets don't lose anything by keeping them. They would ONLY lose something if they were tanking lol. Then other teams would have leverage "Aren't you trying to lose? So you better trade us Wall and Dipo right now! Give us a pick too!"

    right now, their stance is they want to win. They don't have to trade them then. If they go elsewhere in the offseason, ah well, you have cap space. They don't HAVE to be traded.

    No, the odds are not better. Your argument for it is "Yes, the odds are better." How?

    Also, you keep saying "We don't have all-star players here!" but obviously if your team is winning than you actually do. So if you want all-star talent...then you win games...duh. Coaches pick all-stars from teams with winning records after all.

    But you have to draft them to give yourself the best chance, particularly ones at the top.
    Tucker? Yea he probbaly has to get traded. Oladipo...yea he has to go by the deadline. Nwaba, not this year. Brown....I mean, i guess you can resign him.

    Do you want to resign Oladipo? Why? He likely wants more than 25 mil per year(which he turned down from Indy). Tucker...I mean, if he wanted to be here, he would have taken whatever contract they offered him. I donno.

    Its fine man, its not a big deal, we disagree. The Rockets likely agree with you, not me. I would like to tank now and next year but thats not what is going to happen. I respect your opinion man. I have discussed this with you for awhile. We both have our stances on it.

    Pelicans just shellacked the #1 rated offense in NBA and 2× MVP, DPOY Giannis' Bucks.

    Our next game vs. NOP should be interesting.

    Lol great post man.

    I'm not even against tanking but doing so in a year where we might not even have our pick is just monumentally dumb. You dont wanna lose assets and then benefit OKC.

    Cwood def better than Kristaps from health perspective. Dude reminds me of Yao Ming. Always gets hurt when he starts having momentum.

    They have been winning (relatively speaking) as far as you can go back, they do not know how to be bad even if they tried.

    And most importantly they wouldn't tell you ....or me about it.

    The thing is to get rid of 36 year olds and 28 year olds who can be replaced by 22-23 year olds.

    It's about a healthy age structure, it is not only about winning over hearts.

    That's the bottom line for me too. I think Tucker's contract will be easier to move than Oladipo's. I wouldn't add any FRP's to them at any cost.
