    Let's just set the bar right above where we were, and say how long it takes to get there.

    I know there was a thread like this before, I can't find it and I also think it's interesting to see if people's opinions changed.

    Can pick 2 for a range.

    "Never" should absolutely be an option.

    If they rebuild around Wood with actual talent I say 5 to 7 years . He is that good. But you can’t do it with the likes of Wall and Gordon. Genuine talent

    Another 10-20ish+ years. So on top of the 25-26 years it’s been, 35-45 years.

    Wish granted. EDIT; NVM it won't let me now. Shrug... I figure in 40 years we'd all be dead.

    Tillman is 63. Unless he's got a blood boy, I can't imagine him living another 40 years much less him owning the team that long.

    Considering we haven’t been to the Finals without Moses or Dream, I think it will be awhile. Maybe Tillman gets lucky, but I bet we change ownership 2-3 times before we play in the Finals again.

    Not sure; but I can say it would have been 4 games and out in the first round this season. Not even a gentleman's sweep of 4-1


    We have no answer for AD / LeBron / Kawhi / Paul George / Favors / Gobert / Giannis / Embiid / Tobias Harris / Ben Simmons / Durant / Harden.
    Honorable mention of Jokic and Zion as well.

    Good news is the LeBron elevator is on its way down.

    A more relevant and imminent question is, how long until next Rockets playoff appearance?
