    I think the stink of last year's dumpster fire of a team may have more to do with it - momentum in the collective unconsiouness. If the Rockets suddenly look like legit contenders, players will go right back to loving James and the Rockets.

    Except, as stated before, that now you can't get any value for him due to the insane new salary structure and nobody's going to part with draft picks, again due to the insane new structure

    Is probably better than being the 15th seed in west for the next two years, and then watching Harden walk.

    1. You do realize that he would probably sell it to a Chinese billionaire. Then we would have a bunch of Jeremy Lins on the team.

    2. If we don't end up being better than last year (FA, trade, etc.) then I will run out to center court during a random game and take a dump on the court, look at Les and Morey while doing it, and explain that our team is on the same level as what just hit the floor.

    Better to sign a bunch of one year deals than it is to overpay Anderson. This Summer risk setting the team back years.

    Charlotte is going to resign him since they have his bird rights and really love him.

    Last year the Rockets even while sucking, made the playoffs. Don't say big words.

    If we can't get a free agent, I think Morey should resign and Mr. Alexander should sell the team to President Obama.

    We need to try as hard as possible to become a better THIS whole season trough free agency and trades. If we suck, then trade Harden on the last year and let's get max value for him.

    Can someone merge this bull**** thread about rebuilding with this guy's last bull**** thread about rebuilding that he made like two days ago? They're essentially the same exact nonsensical talking points, and I feel like we've got enough legitimate discussions to have where we don't need all of these pointless threads taking up space in the forum.

    If we strike out on Horford, we need to focus our efforts on bringing over Llull and Gentile, then trying to facilitate a trade. Maybe you sign a good vet to a one year max contract.

    No way! Next step is signing TJones to $100 million dollar contract! Lol, until that happens it should be okay :)

    Brewer deserves a new max contract.

    Morey actually would need to please Leslie, so I'm expecting at least one bad contract.
