Rockets one of the most aggressive suitors for Damian Lillard

Dame only wishes he had 3 scoring titles, assist title, MVP and led the only team in the West that scared GSW dynasty in their prime.

 

Yes, wasting all of our draft capital to hope for a 1st round exit is exactly the opposite of what I want. Would it be a fun team? I suppose. Would it be a completely hopeless team in terms of contending? 1000%

 

I see what you are saying. That's a damn solid offer from the Pelicans, tbh.

 

Cmon, I've seen the rumors but its so far fetched to have a glimpse of hope for. Yes, technically it can happen. Detroit could pass on Cade, but it is extremely unlikely. Also Cade is totally unproven, although the best talent in the draft the same could be said for Green or Mobley...

I like your lineup, that would be amazing after last season but its also incredible unlikely and nearly impossible from all angles... Even getting Dame here while keeping Wood and our 2nd round pick is nearly impossible...

 

Obviously it would be John Wall and 8 first round picks.

 

Dude, you have been one of my fav posters since the lottery... Despite a rocky past, I like your takes on Mobley... But is that Harden's achievement? Scared GSW? lol cmon....

 

CP3
Booker
Ayton

vs

Dame
Cade
Wood

Throw in EG/Covington/Tate/KellyO, etc.

I'd call us a contender, personally. We could be every bit as good as the Suns for the next 3-4 years.

 

He's had some Clutch shots for sure, especially against us but I'm more so talking about carrying a team when it counts.. You aren't wrong thou...

 

When you put it that way yes, but Harden was playing for us so we had no chance in advancing to the finals... And even if we did, why assume we were winning in the finals?

 

Rockets were the only team in West to challenge GSW season after season.

This is fact.

Being 2nd best team in NBA is legit.

 

Truly and sadly it is Harden's achievement, and aside from the two championship teams, probably the best Rockets team ever assembled. (Especially pre-Moute injury)

2018 Rockets were damn nasty and far better than the eventual "champion" this year, IMO.

 

Should we hang a banner? 2nd best team in the West..... Scared GSW.... Swag Champs....

 

Haha okay. I can't fight that logic! I admit it did make me laugh.

 

No lies right there, that team was a nearly perfect fit....

 

Lol, sometimes all we can do is laugh.... Durant was out of bounds by the way....

 

So this has devolved suddenly.

You could not dispute the scoring titles, assist title, MVP, most franchise wins, 2nd most wins during GSW hegemony so create a straw man and attack your own narrative?

Who said anything about hanging banners????

 

yes we should!

the entire league, all the fans and talking heads included transformed into p*****s surrendering to gsw in advance...everybody asked whats the point of the league? trying to challenge gsw was considered foolish and a sin!

 

Can we get back to discussing how we're going to trade Wall and 24 for Dame?

 

Probably the greatest team not to win a ring.

DD

 

I guess this would be Fertitta saying "hey guys, Lillard will be our old veteran who can't make it to the Finals, like Chris Paul... Jalen will be our Booker... Wood is our Ayton... instant championship contending team!"

I don't even know why we'd do this. Someone please tell me this would be part of some other trade where we get more picks or something.
