    I'm not talking about guarding those guys, no one can guard those guys, just length and getting rebounds. We sacrifice that if we get rid of Capela.

    While Carmelo is gone & Chris could be gone & LeBron ain't coming, James Harden is here/signed for the next 6 years. :)

    Well Lebrons options come down to Lakers or Houston now. Banana boat split apart.

    Rockets are the side chik of trades. They won't win the sweepstakes in the end.

    another year of morey sitting with a thumb up his ass while everybody around him makes big moves.

    another year of rockets fans waiting till next year.

    another year of hoping role players make that leap.

    another year of moral victories.

    chirs paul not getting younger. harden not getting younger.

    but hey, we're to good to get a proven 20 ppg scorer who would have been a great fit. lmao

    Such blind homerism

    Morey failed and his failure made a competitor much better in the process.

    That's all it is... don't try and clean it up.

    If Melo had gone to the Cavs I would totally agree with you LOL. Adams, George, Melo and the MVP gets them much closer to the Warriors
    than anyone else in the league for sure.

    We have to make sacrifices to have a chance at a ring. Now we have no chance unless something unforeseeable happens. And we still might lose Capela next summer because some team might poison pill us or offer him the max. And he's not worth that.

    Harden has had MVP style seasons almost every season he was here, now he has Chris Paul to take some of that too. We also won a lot of games because of D'antoni and his system, not just Harden. The current squad works, Gordon, Anderson and Capela works, this is a fact.

    I would love to have Melo because of the X-factor, but not to lose a lot of what won us so many games last season

    I don't see any possible way we win a ring without a center.

    We don't know what Capela will be worth, he's 23 and playing with the best PGs in the NBA, or best assist man.

    For all you know he'll be the centerpiece in getting Cousins here come trade deadline.

    Eric Gordon and Ryan Anderson are not your difference makers. Plus I'll be shocked if they stay healthy again.

    Morey hesitated and it's going to show this year when you see the Rockets get taken out because they don't have enough firepower. Im not a huge melo guy but I trust him over anyone on this team not named Harden / Paul.
