    Congrats on being the first to bring up Lin in a thread that has nothing to do with him.

    Guys, you have no idea what kind of recruiting is going on.

    Harden and Durant are recruiting Dwight to be the third spokesperson for that BBVA Compass commercial.

    We can make it work. Have either Durant or Parsons as a stretch 4 and dominate!

    But that's the problem. He's locked up til 2016. Morey seems to have all his eggs in the 2015 free agent basket. So it's highly unlikely we have any cap flexibility by the time Durant's deal with OKC is up. And there's no way we'll have the kind of trade assets needed to get him from the Thunder(no offense to Parsons).

    There is only one scenario where I could realistically see Durant coming here in the 2016 offseason. The Rockets win the title next year(while the Thunder DON'T win a title between now and 2016), decide to take a pass on signing anyone to a large contract in 2015(why bother when you just proved what you have is enough to win it all?), Harden and Howard work behind the scenes to lure Durant like Wade did with LeBron and Bosh, and then play out the 2015-16 season with near certainty that Durant will join your team the following summer.

    But how likely is that to happen? I'd put the odds at maybe 10%.

    Congrats on congratulating me for not being able to take a joke that I didn't understand that you posted on a thread that started off as a joke. Ok, I'll stop now.

    I think KD's FA offseason is the first year both parties can back out of the current CBA so maybe just maybe both parties do and create some rule to be able to sign people played college in that state without worrying about the cap ;)
    Odds have just gone up from 10 to 11%

    I've been feeling this for a while now. Durant seems to be good friends with Harden and Dwight.

    Added extras:

    - Harden played with Durant.
    - Durant is from Houston and could have grown up a Rocket fan.
    - The Thunder might not ever be the same without Westbrook's athleticism.
    - Parsons' contract ends at the same time as Durant's I think?
    - Morey has said Parsons will be paid. Could big contract help with sign and trade?
    - Durant stated on camera that he thought Parsons should be in the All Star game. Talking Parsons up?
    - Parsons has said several times the Rockets need to share the ball more.
    - How often do you see Harden and Parsons chatting? It's normal Dwight and Harden or dwight and Chandler.

    The only correct statement is "Harden played with Durant". Are you on drugs?

    Ummm...actually I put question marks on the arguable sentences. The rest are indeed factual.
