    No one would sign here. Barkley wasn't too far off with his Titanic metaphor. This is a sinking ship. I'm fully expecting a complete rebuild over the next few years and Harden will almost certainly be dealt as he'll threaten to walk in 2018.

    I just hope 2-3 straight losing seasons compel Les to sell the team to someone who gives a damn.

    You can't trade Dwight before the free agents start making their rounds.

    Tom Thibodeau to Mike D'Antoni.

    LOL Dreams. That's all it ever was with Thibodeau & Van Gundy & Vogel & Joerger.

    Cyber can you provide any update on Frank Vogle? Has he been interviewed and Is he still in the running for the HC position?

    well that's really really stupid. You don't pick a head coach because you are scared of a player opting in. This whole thing just keeps getting worse. What a freakin nightmare.

    If Dwight were to opt in how quickly can he be traded? Immediately?

    Okay, I'm going to go out on a limb here..........you don't like Daryl Morey, do you?

    You and cheke64 and others have an I-Hate-Daryl-Morey Meetup Group, etc etc...

    Whoops....speak of the Devil and he shall appear....

    If I stop reading or listening to the news maybe the nightmare will stop.... ****, man lol.

    This is exactly how it goes down.. The D'Antoni Bros join up and then get Morey to get stoudemire back and Nash out of retirement, offer them insane money, and then...... Instead of Barnes get Joe Johnson and Jeremy Lin. That's instant win, like it'd be GSW 2.0 x 100. Just ****ing awesome!!!! Harden will basically tell the organization to "**** off" and then proceed to wait to get traded from this worse than a dumpster fire team.

    What's worse than a dumpster fire, you might ask??? The mother ****ing 2017 Houston Rockets!!!!!!!!! Going straight for 9-73!!! Go!!! Rockets!!

    So... part of the reason we are hiring D'Antoni is as a Dwight repellant? This franchise is a joke.
    Les is no better than Vivek or Pera. Just a complete moron with no basketball experience or knowledge making HUGE decisions for this franchise.

    D'Antoni would be a decent assistant coach, but wtf are we really going the all offense no defense route for a THIRD STRAIGHT YEAR with this dude running the team?

    You don't think any of that is on Dwight?

    Look, I like Dwight as a person, I think he is a nice guy, has a good heart, and genuinely wants good things for everyone.

    BUT.

    The guy can't shoot. He can't post-up, he can't beat his defender one on one, much less beating a double-team. And all they need to do is foul him, because he simply can't hit free throws. So you have what is essentially a turnover, statistically speaking, every time you give him the ball.

    Which would be ok, IF.. if he would simply accept his limitations, and limit himself to playing defense, blocking shots, setting screens, and rolling to the bucket for very reliable alley-oop dunks.

    But he won't do that, instead he believes he should be a pivotal part of the offense. And anyone who would advocate regularly giving Dwight the ball on offense is INSANE.

    I'm sorry, but he has to go.

    And that is a fact.

    Any any potential free agents the Rockets would be looking at would already know this.

    So this is not anything against the organization, and it doesn't make the Rockets look bad. It makes Dwight look bad, and frankly delusional.

    Just like the D'Antoni Bros, but not as helpful to franchises not named the Suns.... Team USA doesn't count, JBB might have a chance of not ****ing that up, since no Brewer :)

    Same here.

    I need someone to tell me A SINGLE reason why Dwight should opt in, cause i can't find one....on the other hand i can find multiple reason why he should opt out.
