    All of us are Rocket fans here, so what would you do, would you go after Damian Lillard at 31+ years old, or would you stay the course and continue the rebuild around our picks?

    Let's put some rules, if getting Lillard required the 2nd pick, Gordon, and another of our 2 First round picks, would you do it?

    Is Lillard worth more than that? Yes.


    Should we do that trade? No.

    Doesn't make sense for Lillard or the Rockets.

    Of course I would for that price, but many people think he'd return more than Harden.

    I wouldn’t waste the number 2 pick it the draft for an aging star over 30, and we’re still stuck with Wall. That number 2 pick don’t come around often….I’m shocked this is even a question

    What would Lillard accomplish here that he couldn’t do in Portland?

    we are the worst team in the league

    Dude is worse than Harden in every way, and this roster is buns. Harden couldn’t get it done. What do people think Lillard is gonna do?

    The poll options should be only “hell no” and “f*** no”

    Lillard would get a title sooner with the Blazers than Houston in its current state and let’s not forget we have two PGs currently on the roster - one making $40mil and another who is supposed to be our future and what are the Blazers supposed to do with EGO and McCollum playing the same position? Literally makes no sense for anyone involved.

    I would almost call this the dumbest thing I have read on this board but someone recently compared Mobley’s offensive game to Shaq’s so you should thank that poster for taking the crown of shame.

    If Harden would have stayed with this roster we would still be playing I think.

    Not with him on it. This team would have been competitive still.

    Depends! Who else is lillard bringing with him? Just Lillard and this roster is a heck no! If we are getting a big 3 then yes with KPJ and Wood still on the roster!

    that’s only because Harden is that great…the roster is still absolute trash

    even the sorriest of Knicks rosters would’ve made the playoffs with Harden on it…even the Kings would make the playoffs no doubt with James

    Harden rolled up to Portland with scrubs and almost beat Lillard and the Blazers dropping 44 and 17 after an offseason of partying and Turkey Leg Hut, then he rolled up to Portland again with no KD and Kyrie and beat Lillard and the Blazers

    you’ll be in for a rude awakening if Lillard is leading this sorry squad…he’s no James Harden, not even close

    Lillard couldnt go far with the current blazers squad. What makes him think he can do it with our roster? I would rather see young guys develop than see a Wall + Lillard combo guard

    Absolutely not. We're rebuilding.
