    This. I doubt Rockets got Oladipo thinking he will be here next year. If anything we might be able to squeeze a first round pick or something to a contending team looking to make some noise before playoffs.

    Embarrassed how? Also I am sure Tate probably has more respect for Cousins now.

    I am not 100% sure about his super max situation, but I guess his next contract will be around 32 if thats 4 years from now. and 33 if thats 5 years.

    I dont really believe a fifth years is more important than you can have a 3+1 option for the player.

    i guess getting destroyed by 20+ twice in a row from the start wasn't that bad. but respect and chemistry. get that nonsense outta here

    That is the new reality. New normal.

    You get T'd up when you look at the refs the wrong way or say something.

    Only Lakers and couple teams get away with it.

    I still see a lot of talent on the roster capable of making it to the playoffs. Beating the lakers is almost impossible without a miracle or injuries. But that’s almost always the case for most every team. There’s always one or two super dominant teams. Should everyone tank because they’re at best 3rd best team?

    I say give it a few weeks if we can. See if we don’t have a spark now that the bearded elephant has left the building. we don’t have our first this year, correct? so what’s the difference between 14 and 10? I’ll take some excitement and underdog fights over 4 draft slots.

    Wall can't even attract his body to play a complete season.

    He got Boogie here, maybe he can get Otto Porter. Not a star but a solid player

    True. Lebron has like veto power. Morris didn't get a suspension. If the roles were reverse Cousins would have gotten one.

    It will be years, likely many years before a premier free agent signs with the Rockets. John Wall is a role player at this point, he isn’t attracting anything except gun to the bottom of his shoe.

    The Rockets suck now. The Rockets are rebuilding. The chance of another player as good as Harden joining the Rockets in the next 20-25 years is less than 50/50.

    That is why the Rockets didn’t want to trade Harden.

    Christian Wood, JaeSean Tate are Starting Points in a Complete Rebuild.
    The Rockets really need to Trade more players away for Picks.
    Victor Oladipo, Eric Gordon, P.J Tucker, Danuel House
    Next Year John Wall, Demarcus Cousins walks in Free Agency

    The Rockets Need to Tank, to keep a Top 4 Pick in this year's Draft.

    Just Trade everyone
