    This is because we try to win when trading instead of helping ourselves as we help others. If your goal is skull f#%k everyone then thing like this happen.

    Every GM makes mistakes, correct, except you could make a title team with Morey's mistakes.

    Lowry/Dragic
    Harden/Lou
    Kawhi/Tucker
    Covington/Harrell
    Capela/Wood

    Butterfly affect, yada yada, I know. You draft Kawhi, and you likely never get Corey Brewer which turned into Sweet Lou. I get it. You probably never draft Capela either. But you just can't ignore how many mistakes Morey has made.

    He would have been traded for Harden.

    Houston legend Dragic and target Butler are in the Finals.

    Houston legend Lowry won one before Harden and Westbrook last year.

    If we would have had the #1 pick in 2003 instead of 2002...

    LeBron could have been ours....

    Not trying to dunk on Morey, but I had a similar thought. Either Lowry (I know the pick we acquired for him was used in the Harden trade) or Dragic would have likely been Harden's best running mate to date.

    This has been a concern of mine as well. We give Lin a massive contract less than 12 months after he was released from our preseason squad? How can you have that significant of a 180 on a player's value after such a tiny sample size?

    LOL

    Guess which team has had the most wins in NBA the last 5 seasons.

    In the last decade?

    Rockets fans are insanely delusional.

    If we are going to lament anything, it should not be Dragic leaving in what is now ancient history. Instead, it should be the dismantling of the 17-18 60+ win team, that was steps away from a champioship.

    We went from a bonafide powerhouse to Russell Westbrook in the blink of an eye...
