    The Rockets were even damn lucky to get one 15 years later
    Think about teams like Charlotte..they never had such a player.
    It took the Bucks 44 years to draft another generational player.

    You cant count to be like the Thunder or the Pelicans to keep drafting one after another.

    I'm in favor of all the members of Clutchfans being Rockets fans.

    This was the way back in the day.

    A team of too short, inconsistent shooters who can't finish at the rim? Tucker is a nice defensive minded role player but give a couple of stars anyday.

    But I agree, It's time for a reboot.

    The Rockets will never win an NBA title as long as Tilman is the owner, so you've got that going for you

    The only banners that will be added to the rafters under the Fertitta regime: Luxury Tax Savings 2018 and Beyond and James Harden's jersey to commemorate his hall of fame induction. Maybe they'll get extremely lucky and get another player like Harden through a #1 pick (from being cheap and incompetent via a rigged lottery to help the team regain value like New Orleans and Anthony Davis, for example.)

    I understand... but I actually have a life unlike you and can't go back and forth all day with you lol. 2nd is a consolation prize. Why didn't he get better seeding last season? He got his best bud with him. If they were going to make the WCF they were going to make the WCF 2nd seed or not. 2nd seed is like saying "see we are one of the top offenses" argument. Yet you get your ass sent home year after year. They would have gotten sent home sooner if it wasn't for these role players heroics. How they played after is questionable but they wouldn't be there to be that bad in the first place if not for themselves. James was watching from the bench. Teams win championships. McHale was showing him that and he and him fired.

    So? Put some respect on his name. I don't see Harden making HOF players like Jordan or Bird. What was your point? Still has won more than Harden as role player.

    3 questions to ask yourself:

    1) Do the rockets have enough to compete for a championship in the next 2 years?

    No.

    2) How likely will Harden eventually bolt?

    Very likely.

    3) If Harden leaving is an inevitability, would you prefer trading him now?

    Our championship window with Harden is over. It’s time to move on.

    Can’t wait to draft more guys like Budinger, Morris, White, Jones, PPat and Lambs! Sooo much better off with out Harden. What a blessing!!

    Nonsense.

    Losing a top 3 player in the league is never good.

    Enjoy suckitude or mediocrity under Tillman for years.
