unless your backed buy a huge fan base EXP. Spurs, Lakers, Boston. You have to draft the main talent to attract FA to come there. Morey is just saving face by shooting for the 8th seed by going after players such as Bosh, Gortat, Nene, and Gasol or players of that caliber. Who in respect are great players but not the caliber to lead a team to a championship or build a team around. Morey needs to change his priorities and realize the NBA has changed after the "big 3" and draft to improve. With McGrady vanishing into thin air and Yao going down we should have went straight into rebuild mode and gone after younger players such as Jeff Green and DeAndre Jordan. Going to MIT doesn't make you a great GM. His stance to gain as many assets to gain big "superstars" aren't going to work when our only advantage is no state income tax. Morey please change your approach or we won't see another championship banner in the next 10 years. Sincerely signed, Every frustrated Rocket fan that has given their heart and money to the team for the past 10+years
I agree. If only we had Jeff Green and DeAndre Jordan right now, the Rockets are looking at multiple championships in the next decade. But if we had Nene and Gasol, we'd be at best an 8th seed. The Clippers are obviously the model. 1 playoff appearance in the past 15 years. 3 No.1 overall picks through lottery. 6 top-5 picks during the same span. Man, if only we can be the Clippers and get our own CP3 in two decades, my kids may become bandwagon Rockets fans by then.
