    They can co-exist, that is clear from their OKC days.

    But will their synergy be enough to challenge other duos like the Kawhi and George one which is a defensive juggernaut.

    They make each other better, but their flaws are also similar.

    The last time they played together, Russell was in the shadow of Durant and Harden was coming off the bench.

    Les wanted to build around Jeremy lin. That should tell you what kind of senile fool he was. The same scrub who no one will offer the minimum to anymore

    If it wasn’t for the miracle harden deal to save this franchise I wonder where we would be

    You may have a point, but, if Morey was so upset, why did he sign a 5 year contract extension this past season.

    https://www.houstonchronicle.com/sports/rockets/article/Rockets-general-manager-Daryl-Morey-extension-13685382.php?utm_campaign=CMS Sharing Tools (Premium)&utm_source=t.co&utm_medium=referral

    "I'm super happy," Morey said. "I'd love to be with the Rockets for life. This obviously solidifies us for a little while. "I'm just really thankful to Tilman Fertitta for having the faith in our team. And really, it is about us having a team of people that makes this all work; Coach (Mike) D'Antoni, (vice president) Keith Jones, (vice president) Gersson Rosas, (trainer) Jason Biles, (assistant general manager) Monte McNair, (assistant general manager) Eli Witus, (assistant general manager, Vipers GM) Jimmy Paulis, (general counsel) Rafael Stone.

    "We have too many people to mention, but I'm only as good as the people behind me."

    I hear you. I just think it’s short sighted. We keep giving up picks. It might net us a trophy at some point (and it might not) but we will never build a dynasty that way.

    Les fired Patterson after Patterson drafted and Cassell and Mario Elle.

    Somehow credited himself for Steve’s work

    I would argue that it started when he bought the team and chose to to change those things. Not doing something is in and of itself a leadership decision.

    I hope to f*cking God that when the old man keels over stiff the inheritor of those trophies has the decency to return them to our Sky Deck :(:mad::mad:

    this Westbrook move is a Les-type move. I can hear his creepy high-pitched laugh echoing through the breeze.

    We have had a throwback themed jersey before... I doubt it is the main one.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure it ended when he sold the team...
