    Last one. I know I said a lot more but I don't want to be any more annoying than I am already being. Pg 39. I think it's safe to say I did not like this deal at the time.

    You make an incredibly valid point, but It will be interesting to see who we don't get due to this trade over the next few years.

    The downfall of this franchise was the summer of melo, then immediately accelerated when Tilman he himself, forced this historic idiotic move for westbrick that destroyed the rockets chances of winning and set this team back years and years

    Catapulting your franchise with some of the historically worse decisions should never be the reason for it. Especially as a result of the LTS moron of an owner. The inheritance of a 65 win perennial contender and destroying it in a span of 2 years will always be truly pathetic

    Well next years pick is top 4 protected from OKC perspective so the tank gravy train ends as soon as the last regular season ends

    You've probably never seen Moses play. Go back and checkout his 1980 season with the Rockets, or his 1st season in Philly and get back with me.

    We are not talking about better player, we are talking about greatest Rocket, Harden has been here longer and has more accolades as a Rocket.

    There really is no argument unless you are bringing feelings into it.

    Moses was a two time MVP and led the Rockets to the NBA finals. I’m not sure Harden was a better Rocket. He was here more years and was incredible the whole time but Moses was special enough that we got to the finals with little else on the roster.

    When we start winning again, don't be first in line of the bandwagon..........

    Paul was rubbish his second year and looked old. Even at the Suns, he has flammed out in the Playoffs when needed

    In hindsight it could have been worse. I loathed the move from the second it was announced and knew our window with Harden had slammed shut.

    However it failed so quickly we were actually able to start a quick rebuild. I feared we would be stuck with 3 years of Westbrick mediocrity while Harden slowly decayed.

    Morey saved our ass with the pick protection.

    Yeah that ain’t happening anytime soon. One of the first to say that years ago, and foreseen the demise of the franchise

    And with that said the owner decided to trade him for a much worse player with one of dumbest bball iq in history and multiple future 1sts for him. Makes sense. Flamed out the playoffs. But but but he was washed. Meanwhile he’s making all star and all nba teams. Makes sense
