Windhorst: “The Houston Rockets...(entire ‘The Jump’ crew busts out laughing — Nichols, Jefferson, Horry, Perkins) ...I’m holding my tongue. You look at what Harden is doing for the Nets and what their return is, today it’s rough. What they got for Oladipo, they got next to nothing. I don’t feel great about those transactions.
They aren’t wrong, but the reality of the situation is we’ve had 0 leverage the moment James didn’t want to be here. Tilman not wanting to deal with 76er’s also made things worse.
It's making my blood boil knowing that fatty is having fun at our expense. Tilman sucks man. But hey, this is what many Harden haters wanted, to suck so we can get a top draft pick. I would of rather stayed competitive and enjoyed the rest of Harden's prime. Tilman can really go suck it. I'm happy to avoid as many of his establishments as possible, including the Rockets. I guess I'm watching the Rockets on TV, but that's as far as I go for now. No more merchandise, no season tickets, no nothing.
They act like we weren't forced to trade James to the Nets. You really think we were just gonna ship Harden wherever WE wanted? LOL. Whatever. Can you please stop talking about the Rockets since we're irrelevant now.
I bet Morey was the one feeding Woj the insider info (e.g. lies) that someone was willing to give up a 1st and a young player for Vic and, somehow, Stone believed in it. lol
They laugh now but once the pandemic is over and golden nugget starts raking in money the Rockets will be back on top, wear your masks!
Prisoners of the moment Was the best thing that could’ve happened to the rockets. Probably could’ve made a playoff push if Wood never got hurt but we are to far down to not tank The rise of Porter made Stone think more about the future and trying to secure that top 4 pick
Its almost comical to think back to when people were clowning on Morey. People now begining to understand how good they had it, and what it ACTUALLY means to be a **** organization.
Whooosaaaahhh. CF!!! The basketball gods will be fair. We will just have to buy our time. There’s still a lot of Chinese with rockets jerseys. NBA can’t let Yao’s team go down the drain. KPJr. Is Harden lite right now, with a good ceiling. There is no pressure to win - looks happy and in a good environment with Lucas. He’s barely played an entire season. Biggest thing is he needs to get his confidence way up. He’s only 20.
