    His raps are definitely cringe but I don’t know him personally to say he’s a douchbag

    No, that won't stop it. Morey, MDA, Cuban, LA etc will keep the psychological pressure on Houston especially if they're struggling.

    Does it say we'll be the worst with Harden or without him?

    With him doesn't make any sense. No one believes that BS if that is what they're trying to spin. They don't believe it, we know it's not true, Harden doesn't believe it, etc.

    Without Harden isn't plausible to me. We'd be bad but no way the worst. AND if the intent is to get us to trade Harden, then this idea makes no sense at all. Hey, we'd be the worst team in the league without Harden, so let's go ahead and trade him?!!! It's nonsensical.

    I could see Tillman making a bad trade if it somehow made him a bit of money. He's greedy and an idiot, so I don't put anything past him. If he could trade Harden, get something back that looks like he's trying to help the team ("this is the best package we could get"), and save $10-$20 million then he might go for that. I don't know how much he could save trading Harden but I would not be surprised if that is a motivating factor for him.

    Back to back years - 82 & 83.

    Ironically that was the last time a league MPV was traded away .... Moses Malone traded to the 76ers who won the NBA title and the finals MVP.

    The Rockets were the reason the league went to a draft lottery tanking back to back for Ralph and Akeem.

    If the timeline doesn't begin with Chris Paul's contract, it ain't right.

    Morey didn't have to sign a NON-Compete because he let Tillman out of the Guaranteed 7+ Million a year - Morey played Tillman's cheapness against him.

    People getting all worked up about, “They might be the worst team in the league.”

    Could easily be turned around as, “They might be the best team in the league.”

    Every good team is one great player injury away from being a completely different team. Bucks are not the
    same without Giannis.

    True Hoop......False Hoop......Real Poop. “Might” is very vague......tell me when they claim, “Will be.”

    Yeah but that was a truly horrid season to follow.

    The season Rockets had prior to Sampson draft was no picnic either.
