    It was a tough road, and at times we all weren't sure if it was possible, but we can now say we made it. Thank you to John Wall for making this come to pass and of course none of this would have happened if it weren't for Harden's ultimatum.

    Congrats and god speed.

    Yes, now we have a solid 14% chance for the number 1 pick.

    Why so cruel? Haven't we experienced enough 14s in drafts!

    hahaha! If Silas only helps some of us feel better about our careers, that’s not nothing!

    Lets just say our record isn't the only thing clinched right now

    Lets all pray we're better next season, for coachs' sake

    I just hope the Thunder develop and treat well the player they get for the Rockets pick at #5.

    Yeah, but that's a borderline unfair comparison. The Bulls didn't just lose a top two greatest player of all time, they also lost Dennis Rodman, Scottie Pippen, and Phil Jackson all in the same off-season... It's unlikely we'll ever see a team all decide to go their separate ways all at once like that ever again.

    Anyway, probably a silly debate lol, but yeah, I think Tilman's ability to destroy a great team looks pretty unparalleled.

    Same time. Tied best record in 98. Horrible next 2 years but didn't claim worst record until 00-01.

    Hey, they deserve it. They traded us a HOF, the all-time NBA leader in triple-doubles... while taking the worst contract our respected owner has ever seen

    What did u expect, we traded the best player our franchise has ever seen in quite some time hoping his replacements + john wall/cousins can make it into playoffs playing team ball.

    One thing I learned from this season is those posters who are so enamored with "teamball" and teamwork should just b ignored next time we have another iso-like superstar. Cause i rather we have something entertaining to watch than this sht show of a season.

    You are basically saying if we don’t play iso ball, we are screwed. But no, we can play team ball and have a superstar simultaneously. Harden’s dribble dribble dribble and step back three was just not fun to watch.
