    Then Fox leaves in the offseason and joins them for free? LMFAO. This is as stooopid as it gets.

    Amen brother….we did absolutely freaking nothing and aren’t good enough to where we can sit back and watch others get better. This team desperately needs a closer as we can’t hold leads and our offense disappears late in games. Reality is Rockets aren’t looking for a title in the next 5 years. They’re happy being competitive and first round losers.

    The Rockets are one of the best teams in the nba. How grateful should you be?

    Morey couldn't handle young players or egos. Stone>

    I'm not saying that he should've made a move or even that I want him to. I'm saying that for some reason, we always expect a big mid season trade when historically, that hasn't been something that Stone has done.

    Harden was 25 when Morey acquired him from Thunder. And Capela was a rook. This is a crazy take.

    There are a lot of idiots on this board. Sad. I miss the early days.

    Fox had year and half left on contract. Winning cures all ills.

    I stand corrected. But still, you don’t spend assets to outbid SA just for a rental. Winning cures all is just wishful thinking. Too much risk.

    Fox doesn't fit Wemby's timeline. In 3-4 seasons he will be on outside looking in + Wemby will be in his prime. Or worse, Spurs championship window accelerates + opens next season.

    But Fox no longer interests me, the trade happened so on to the next opportunity.

    The spurs giving a smallish can't shoot guard 30% of the cap is amazing for the rockets. That trade was an A+ for us.

    Fox is 27. In 3/4 years he will be right in his prime. What are you talking about.

    Time will tell. And Fox towers over FVV and just inch shorter than Jalen, just a FYI.

    No matter what happens do not trade for Booker. He has the Kardashian curse.

    You don't make a deal just to make a deal. He asked about Durant.

    he wasn't lazy.
