    Let's pass the blame all the way around and include the GM, please. Stone constructed this roster that lacks shooting in an era when shooters are abundant.

    Every KD apologist at every stop hes failed at always sounds exactly the same.

    The trade can still be beneficial. We can deal him for value or we can get him on the same page as the team and see what we can do over the next two years. To me, it is about the locker room. If everything is good in there, then I have 0 issue with them taking 45 games and figuring out what a slightly modified version of last year looks like. It will take some health but I still think there is upside.

    From the main page, the thread was truncated at “Durant traded to Ho”

    for a second I thought it was “Hornets”. almost

    Dickerson did say that the Hornets have more talent than the Rockets. I hope it comes true for him and me.

    Where else has KD failed as you put it? Brooklyn was 100% Kyrie that's why Harden even wanted out. If dude would have got his shot like the rest of his team odds are Brooklyn wins that title that season. The year prior the 3 of Harden, KD and Kyrie were deadly and hardly lost when all 3 played together. If injuries did hammer them in the playoffs that season too they probably win the title. He won in GSW so not sure how he failed there. He won a ton of games and had multiple deep playoff runs in OKC now sure I would call him a failure. Phoenix I might agree with you in saying he failed there.

    You can't blame KD at age 37 playing the 2nd most minutes in the god damn league because his coach is non existent on offense and the two guys the Rockets tried to build around couldn't hit the broad side of a barn from outside of 8 feet. I don't even like KD.

    Talented enough to be what? Rockets can be 3rd best in the league and win 50-60 games. Thats pretty talented. Their only faults they dont have the gajillion assets OKC has and they missed out on Wemby.

    You act like there are moves people can make to get around those lol.

    They don't shoot well and aren't particularly good on defense either. I actually find them boring to watch and don't particularly like there style of play.
