    Add the Paul George trade to that.

    Exactly 4 months after the trade - KD’s first game as a Rocket is finally here.

    This version is probably a 89% version of the In Prime Durant, still very good.....still somewhat elite and clutch....

    He could have taken more money but it checked out as he is really just 37 years old.

    Odd, so the Warriors were nice enough to approach him if he wanted to return before doing anything, but he holds it against them they had conversations with the Suns about him?!! What a fickle little man.

    KD it’s the NBA not a pick up game. Ownership and staff concerned about their franchise's future more than a player’s feelings. Hey friend, you’re an employee.

    It’s obvious that the rockets miss Fred and it has nothing to do with the KD trade… The trade is still a win, did you see how easily KD scores? Just we are missing such an important piece right now. Ime playing all these bigs and getting our rebounded is crazy.

    This is not obvious at all. If Fred makes this much of a difference we were never contenders with KD. Everything I said in this thread is coming true. I literally called him coach killer. People already posting about Ime like they want him gone. THIS IS WHO KD HAS BEEN SINCE HE LEFT THE WARRIORS. This was a dumb trade. He is gonna get his numbers and we will suck and everyone will blame everyone BUT him. Just like the Suns and the Nets. It's him though.

    Man scored 37 points on 50% FG, more than our young core combined, and people are blaming this loss on him I genuinely cannot

    This year and last year the rockets soo far have won 0 games that Fred has missed. We literally have no guard play. Fred is only important to us because we only have 1 PG on the roster and it was him.

    We won 11 games without Fred stop the cap. Again us not being as good last year without Fred was to be expected WITHOUT Durant. But I was told Durant makes us way better. Do you get it now?

    I wish we would have kept Brooks out of this trade, he would’ve fit this team perfectly

    Sorry my guy, but you're wrong.

    Fred himself isn't the be all and end all. But it's so abundantly clear many on Clutchfans have never experienced first hand competitive basketball to understand just exactly what a competent PG means to a team.

    Just because he's not dropping 3s like Steph Curry doesn't mean he's not as important to a team.

    It's literally plain as day.

    Durant has been the bottom of the pile of reasons why they've lost both games.

    STFU losing your point when you have two allstars should not make us this bad its KD. HE DOESNT FIT. Our defense is way weaker. Why would I listen to any of you, youre acting exactly how I predicted you would lol Freds not walking through that door he cant be the scapegoat all season. anyway im done talking rockets. this stupid franchise finally makes good decisions then ruins it with kd, im so done.
