    I'm not sure I'm following you man, I just meant that looking back, we could have done the same while putting some elements of long lasting culture around the team. And putting those elements gives you the rationale to not go after trade demands, because you have an structure.

    I can't speculate on the Nets as I don't follow that team. It seems that one could say they have a great 3pt shooter in Harris, a better secondary scorer in Irving. Maybe that makes them look slightly better. Both things were points of discussion in CF for years.

    so you truly believe Harden didn't bring a winning culture to the Rockets for the past 10 years?

    Not at all, I'm saying the organization could have been better in creating a lasting culture around Harden, but that implies other people outworking Harden (at their jobs of course), and since no one did it, no one said "No" when we should. And that's why I go back to my original post saying that everyone has responsibility in the actual state of the team, you can't single out one "guilty".

    It's really discouraging man.... I really feel like the Knicks. We got nothing for an legendary SG. AND we lost our foundation with Morey peacing out. I'm pretty pissed at the org actually and the **** owner.

    It has everything to do with it. When you have a team that has the best record in the league and they feel they can compete, their owner is doing what hes supposed to and paying to keep it together. It doesn't sound familer here bc the rockets have a dumbass owner that did the opposite and broke it up. The jazz owner is doing it right and giving them a shot. Whether they can beat the Lakers or not, doesn't matter. You might not think they will. They may or may not. But they certainly feel like they can. That's what matters

    It gives them their best chance. When you know that you’ve done absolutely all you can do to be successful and you still fail, it’s much easier to live with the results. There is no wondering what could’ve been had we done this instead and no pandering. You shot your shot.

    Not giving your absolute best because you’re resigned to and crippled by the possibility of failure just guarantees that you absolutely will fail.
