It took them only 14 games to realize they made a huge mistake. 190+ games into our situation and the only change made around here was the removal of Weaver and Hornacek.
Weird comparison. I don't know how many games football teams play but I seem to recall it being like 12? There are 82 games in an NBA season. So how many years did they both take? I bet it doesn't sound too different when you compare it that way. And besides, the Rockets are supposed to suck.
If there’s one thing the Rockets should learn from the Broncos: Spoiler Do not sign James Harden(Russell Wilson) to a long-term contract(5 years, $245M). “Russell Wilson signed a five year contract extension worth $245 million with the Broncos. $165 million is guaranteed including $124 million at signing. Wilson's 2022, 2023, and 2024 salaries are all guaranteed. If on the roster on the 5th day of the 2024 league year his 2025 salary will be guaranteed.”
The difference is the Broncos got fleeced in their deal for their aging star player transaction and the Rockets made the better deal when moving their aging star player when comparing the Simmons led Philly deal vs. the Nets haul of picks Other than that they are both bottom feeders in their leagues at the moment, which could change next season for both, TBD
Hmm, well the difference is also the Broncos have a championship in 2015 and got by their rivals (Patriots) while in 2015 the Rockets got clapped by the Warriors and were never able to overcome them.
This comparison does not really make sense at this stage. You can say we made the mistake for trading for Westbrook, a large contract and under performing, and we went ahead and made the adjustments fairly quickly. I am not sure the Broncos can trade Wilson's contract as easily, so its not really a good comparison. If you were to sign Harden again and he looked really bad, then maybe you can make the comparison, otherwise I don't see it.
OP, I have been a Broncos fan as long as I have been a Rockets fan and I can tell you, unequivocally, that the Rockets franchise is in a helluva better shape than the Broncos. Now that will change if the Rockets do something stupid like sign James Harden but let’s hope not. The Broncos were supposed to contend for the playoffs while the Rockets are still in a major rebuilding phase.
