    we've had a lot of bad luck lately, but I'm sure things will play in our favor soon enough. Hope B-easy can deliver.

    He also played in Miami with just Wade and then Bosh got ill second half the season. So I think maybe you're an idiot?

    I think Feigen said Andrew was waiting for his gf to have their baby before he came. Not sure when that is.

    ETA: Hopefully she's having it now so he can be here Saturday lol.

    We can also add to the fact that he and Durant are childhood friends. Does DM have a long-term plan brewing here?

    People underestimate how close Beasely and Durant actually are. This move, quietly, may have tipped the scale in our favor, even if just a little bit. Bring in Scott Brooks throw in James Harden's pitch and uhhh....we may actually have a puncher's chance this time.

    I dont think Durant likes Howard or his personality, so yeah D12, while he may walk anyway, won't be missed.

    Beasley won't be alone... ask McHale how easy it was to coach Harden

    Talented players have their egos

    Morey has done it again. This is genius. Durant said he wanted to go back to his hometown DC as a very serious option. Well Morey just goes and gets the DC and brings it to Houston for him.

    B-Easy is Durant's hometown, childhood best friend. Like they are brothers. Seriously. Not like "hey my brother, what's happening", I mean bruh-therrrrrs. They were raised together, all day every day. They transferred into schools together. They make Smith-Howard look like a casual acquaintance. And the chemistry? The ceiling in through the roof! KD would help Mike stay focused too I think.

    Durant would get this in Houston:
    -A big 3 in Harden/Durant/ Howard or another big name
    -Rolling with his University of Texas Mafia-Houston Chapter, the biggest chapter.
    -Huge city way cooler than NYC, LA or any other city. Best city in the U.S. There is a reason why sooooo many athletes choose H-Town as their home. Durant knows this. He knows this from his UT days, from All Star weekends, and from being a multimillionaire who travels through our city for 10+ years.
    -Choose your own coach
    -Play with your very close friend Harden
    -Have your brother and best friend Beasley on your squad going for that ring
    -Great shot at getting that ring

    Y'all should know this is all Morey can come up with. The PF position is not giving us nothing. So why not bring in Beasley, the young man can rebound the ball better than what we have. He can score the ball better than them too. ( this is not a knock on Dmo ) he's rusty. Once he gets his legs back, then he will be the best scorer out our Power Forwards.

    We all knew Lawson would be bought out. So what's the bickering and complaining for, the season is a damn wash anyway.
    And if we do make the playoffs, it will more and likely be the 8th seed. So we all can chalk it up as a 1st round exit because the Warriors are on a mission. Maybe we can pull off an Denver over Seattle upset but I highly doubt it.

    Great points - I hope they sway KD - but let's be real about Houston. It's a great place to live, great culture, and tons of stuff to do, low cost of living etc... but it's really hard to sell it as cooler than NYC, LA, Chicago or SF. Trust me, I've tried haha. I think it's reasonable to say it's comparable to those cities though.

    I'm a homer for my hometown, what can I say, gimme a break will ya? :grin:

    Big super rich athletes want a 6,000 sqft mansion with a 10 car garage and 5 acres. You can't do that on the islands of SF or Manhattan. Chicago is cold as hell and LA was yesterdays news 10 years ago. Houston is on the up. Has been on the up for quite a while now. Once they come here, they don't leave....(Tmac....JVG...Horry...I'm missing a few others...but lots get their opinion changed once they live here a little bit)

    I do love visiting SF and Chicago though... fun cities.
