    After 2013-14 season, we'll have more clear picture of where OKC and Rockets are. Too early to call I think especially because of salary cap issue but we'll see. Jalen is in the inner circle of NBA so I trust him and his sources.

    U can also lock in that our uniforms won't be changing in the next 3 years so this picture could just be used for the front page of CF's when it happens

    I doubt your wife knows Jennifer Lawrence, but Harden knows Durant.

    Maybe the Thunder should have thought about that when they could have offered Russell Westbrook to the Magic for Dwight... unless of course Rob Hennigan just liked Arron Afflalo more.

    Wow. Now that I read "my" PMs, I realize that I sound an awful lot like Bane. :grin:

    But seriously, abandon all hope. :p

    Just kidding. Have GREAT hope in the team we have now, and know that this team can still get a lot better. Just probably not "Kevin Durant better."

    Or they could have offered Westbrook to New Orleans for CP3 and offered a package involving Ibaka, Perkins, and picks for Dwight, giving OKC a CP3/Harden/Durant/Howard big 4.

    Of course OKC could never afford the payroll these guys would cost.

    Could Dwight opt out in the summer of 2016 and take a paycut along with Durant to make it happen? I think this would be a better option than S&T, though maybe even more unlikely.

    Assuming that Parsons gets his money (either in 2014 or 2015), then Howard would have to take a HUGE paycut. His cap hold in 2016 (if he opted out) would be a whopping $23.48 million; and he'd have to re-sign at the lower number BEFORE the Rockets could sign Durant. You'd also have to walk away from both Jeremy Lin and Omer Asik in 2015 or only take back one-year deals to take their places.

    Highly unlikely.

    BimaThug is part of a well orchestrated plot by the Rockets/OKC to desensitise all the fanbase in both cities, when in reality "THE FIX IS ON". The basketball gods have spoken, and Houston is in line for a "Celtic like Dynasty!

    Jalen Rose, the rogue analyst that he is will have none of this and has vowed to expose the truth! We are all part of the matrix and in so can not escape the great events that will occur in Houston in the foreseeable future (championships,parades,prestige,accolades,and envy of the entire known universe)!
