    We don’t “seek” to get small. If Hakeem or Yao walks through that door we are playing big, big, BIG. Tucker/Hayes at C >>>>>>>>> Scrub at C. Obviously If Nene or Dikembe or an actually effective C is on the roster and you don’t have RW clogging the court, things change.

    I’d much rather have Tate/Nwaba/Tucker busting it out there than some goofy, tall scrub from RGV.

    Good. Trade everyone (except Wood and Tate).

    Apparently , Bo Mamba isn’t happy in Orlando. He’s played like 25 mins in the last 4 games. He’s a young Center to pair with C Wood.

    The New Franchise Player/ Leader John Wall shouldn’t allow Boogie to start. Wall only wants to play with guys who WANT to be here! Everyone else should GTFO. Because Team camaraderie is the key to a Championship. And everyone on this team loves each other and are besties right? So Wall shouldn’t allow his boy to play.

    Good, not a fan of Cousins's antics. We better trade him though.

    Dwight was certainly a superstar, the entire league bid for him.

    Cp3 was as well.

    As for your point, I was just addressing the whole "We will never win post-Harden" post. That's a bit dramatic. The Rockets were always going to exist after Harden, decades and decades after Harden.

    The whole "The Rockets are nothing without Harden" mentality is a bit too much for me.

    There was going to be a post-harden era eventually.

    Unfortunately in today’s nba and defensive schemes teams run, boogie cannot be a big minutes contributor. Given his lack of mobility and foot speed he is a total liability

    The majority of the league hasn’t won one in 25 years.
    Only 9 teams have won rings since we last did.
    Lakers
    Spurs
    Cleveland
    Boston
    Toronto
    Golden State
    Pistons
    Mavericks
    Bulls

    not much tanking teams on the list
    your best chance is the culture and knowing how to draft or trade

    either that or drafting lebron or mj type player

    Warriors.

    Stephen curry round 1 #7
    Klay round 1 # 11
    Barnes round 1 #7

    But yea warriors didn't tank, they just magically got lottery round picks.

    Spurs were sht a year and they grabbed Duncan rest was history.

    I could look further into the history of these team, but tanking is a legitimate strategy.

    Warriors culture was sht for years, got to stop pushing your anti tank narrative.

    We arent attracting a superstar to come to Houston via free agency, y avoid trying for a lottery pick.

    Out of the team u listed, they all have a superstar aside from the pistons. My point was that we arent gonna win anything anytime soon cause we arent gonna attract any superstar here via free agency. So if u can't build a team via free agency, tank for lottery picks and draft one.

    I don't agree with all of your takes but your rhymes are undeniable.
