    Nope.

    But he is a Rockets great.

    Just like Moses was after he left.

    Just like Dream too.

    Plus I doubt the Rockets want Kyrie anyway. He has been a headache for years, and he is like kryptonite for young developing teams.

    Timmy still peddling Tilly's conspiracy theories and his version of the BIG LIE.

    holy ****,

    you guys are all so obsessed with spinning the story against Tilman.

    he sucks.

    get over it

    we are stuck with him unless he is able to buy an NFL team and realizes he can't afford both an NFL and NBA team. He believes he can do it all.

    The thing is, Harden and Durant worked out in AUGUST and SEPTEMBER and discussed teaming up, including Woj and Ramona reporting they discussed down to exact trade details.

    You can offer up the spin you want, but that is a really important fact that can't be overlooked.

    He's not reading clutchfans and his son who may or may not be reading knows how we all feel.

    You guys obsessing over blaming Tilman are just making the rest of us deal with your constant whining.

    We are all stuck with him, it's not a new idea that he sucks.

    Glorious in the sense that OKC traded him with his cooperation to start a rebuild without any negative comments about each other and a huge send off video when he came back for the first time.

    So sweep it all under the rug because it is dividing the forum?

    Forget that Tilman is still in charge and his cheapness and toxic culture is clear and present danger to a team we all profess to love?

    Is that your solution?

    Dont Ted Cruz me son.

    I am saying it was a sudden reaction to a Dame Lillard's 3.

    I am pretty sure OKC fans knew what they get from Westbrook and his weaknesses, and those weaknesses are huge.

    Doesn't mean he isn't a fan favorite and a role model for many.

    It's a strange combination of acceptance, heartbreak and letting go.

    Kudos to OKC.

    Bro.

    It's just basketball.

    Life will go on.

    It's not like Tilman scared a real franchise player like Aaron Gordon out of town.

    But was that A factor or was that THE factor.

    THE factors were MDA and Morey leaving just like Harden said.

    The fact that Harden had other teams on his desired trade list weakens your position.

    THAT was pretty funny.

    But still not letting Tilly off the hook.

    That’s a much better response, PR wise, than “Yes, I decided to leave regardless of whether Daryl was going to stay or not.” It’s better to convince others that he gave it every possible chance to work.

    Monbear sounds like a social justice keyboard warrier.

    Yeah I don't buy this conspiracy either. Kyrie has been weird for a long time, and quite frankly, I don't think any of these guys are intelligent enough to craft such a brilliant master plan. It's just a matter of Harden wanting to play with KD. Rockets made reverse Godfather offers to the Celtics, Sixers and Nets, and whoever bit was going to get Harden.
