    lol there's no way we end up worst unless we trade Harden for peanuts and Wall and Cousins play 10 games.

    Anonymous source hold no weight. This is just an easy click bait article released in the off-season.

    A team has to actually try harder to be one of the three worst teams in the league. Tilman will be more interested in mining the early draft picks for his future all star than trying to build a contender like Morey. This is something Morey understands...Even if you get the next LeBron, if you do not know how to build a contending team, your budding star will walk.

    This is why people are disgusting with Tilman. The only thing he contends for is scraping every nickel for a gain. Everything else comes second.

    Depends on whether Harden's playing or not. 2016 showed he can drag an absolute garbage team riddled with conflict to the playoffs and even steal a game from a GOAT team. Without him I have no faith in two has been injury prone "superstars" who even at their best couldn't lead their team to the playoffs or a winning record.

    Wall & Beal with a very talented complementary cast didn't do it often even in the much weaker East.

    The good thing is the 2021 pick is top-4 protected so worst should land us in that territory.

    Word. I hope Boogie really becomes an awesome 3pt shooter and facilitator and play-maker too. Don't ned him to bang too much... so he can be there for the playoffs.

    PJ Tucker is the Rockets’ second best player and he’s old and doesn’t want to play here.

    The team without Harden is terrible.

    Outside of 2012 (OKC), only 4 teams have won the West over the last 22 years. Spurs, Mavericks, Warriors & Lakers. When you get down to it, No one has gotten it done.

    to be fair, no team looked competitive against the lakers in the bubble playoffs. we fought well the first 3 games, and the only real let down was the close out game where half the team looked like they checked out.

    for me, the danuel house saga was partly to blame, it wrecked our very tight rotation and was an unnecessary distraction. timing was also off, when we tried to speed up russ' return.
