    Has Harden ever hit a clutch shot in the playoffs?

    this is ridiculous. Why is clutch fans obsessed with players who are now leaving their prime as a corner piece?

    It’s time to commit to a rebuild and it’s been long overdue in opinion after hitting our ceiling and there was no realistic options for Harden being open to receive the help he needs.

    How many times has Dame been swept again?

    Lmao at DD. After getting his idea destroyed ( one of the dumbest trade proposals I've seen on here which is saying something) he reverts to saying "I voted no " and trying to say it's something Fertitta would do. Yet he made the thread

    What a clown

    many money driven owners would do it. The stars are the anomaly, you get them you get jersey sales, more tv team, more ticket sales, etc your revenue is benefited significantly with a a marketable star. But the other question,after having harden and cheaping out, why would any 1a star come and play for us? Litterally Rich paul just laid out his Davs criteria and specifically called out things we do as a place he wouldn't send his stars.

    Rockets gotta evolve and build our 'culture' that doesn't mean step on their throats, that means investing in staff, facilities, and making t seamless and bringing in vet so theres a direction for all this young talent coming in. If tilman wants his disount and doesnt like the ariza vet/glue type as too expensive, then get us a NIck Collinson or a Haslem too just a respected locker room voice who has clout of a long career who can keep the young guys n line from dumb young stuff

    Lillard would be amazing - if harden & capela were here

    as we’re in rebuilding mode, we shouldn’t chase lillard unless we have a glut of young talent ready to take the next step (where he could ‘Chris Paul catapult’ us)

    Extra years at $44/per have very little value unless you are an MVP-caliber player (which Dame is not).

    The original idea behind this thread is not the dumbest idea, though. Not even remotely. You Cletuses have EGo and #23 and #24 getting #1, remember?

    I had to put something there, as a guideline - but I would rather rebuild.
