    and expecting the opposite isn't a crime against fandom as well

    who needs high draft picks when you know how to draft and develop?

    so?

    This is where fun lies...

    Perhaps its more fun to to be negative about situation or perhaps have everything served on a silver platter?

    this is still more lightning in a bottle type stuff.

    I agree Rockets need to be smart so they are ready when the luck should arise.

    Thats where you are wrong. There is no way Durant and Harden can continue to play close to this level for 8 more seasons. We own their picks for 8 years. Durant and Harden will both be 40 and who knows if they will even still be with Brooklyn.

    Must see TV... Brooklyn Nets featured -- Rockets not on the dockets.

    lol if it were easy to just draft James Harden we wouldnt even be paying attention... but its not easy and thats why its fun and there is no substitute for valuing the process...

    rockets fans are crying for James and they didnt even liked it when he was here.... TC(Theater Crowd) is the best proof of this...

    Is it just me or does Harden look really handsome since joining the Nets?

    I'm happy for Harden. Hope he gets a ring.

    No reason to stay with a cost cutting owner like Fertitta.

    Man, Joe Harris is easily Klay Thompson in this offense. All the Nets need is some frontcourt depth / defense and for Kyrie to buy in, and these Nets are a better version of peak Golden State.

    KD was saying to himself during the timeout :

    yeah, now I know why the defense of the Rockets was so trash.

    Nets will probably dick around and get to the ECF at least, this season. Not sure they have all the tools needed to beat the Lakers in a 7 game series, though.

    I think they need one or two ring-chasing vets, and they'll get there.

    It's possible. Even the Miami big 3 couldn't get a ring their first season.
