    In the west
    Clips - Bev
    Suns - CP3

    On the east
    Nets - Harden
    Bucks - PJ

    Hawks-Clint
    76ers - Howard, Morey

    Basically every team left has an ex-rocket, and most of those guys are key contributors to their team.

    Could have just kept cp3, Clint, PJ and Harden.

    Maybe if Morey had some patience and wasn't always trying to make a move we would had a ring this year.

    The CP3 team yeah... outside of that no... Harden is still not the guy to get you over the hump.

    Whatever the outside pressures were, Morey still makes the final decision.

    If he didn't like it he could have quit like he did this year. I mean its not like he would have had a hard time getting a job.

    There’s also 100% chance that the Rockets with all those former people together never made the finals

    You're missing DeMarcus Cousins, Patrick Patterson, Lou Will, Gary Clark, and Jeff Green.

    So this narrative still exists.

    And how do you interpret Morey making money saving moves in 2018 that wrecked his conference finals team, then leaving soon after? Whimsy? Spite? Incompetence?

    Occams razor: owner. The owner changed the very offseason that all of the moves started going wrong. And the GM is not at the top of the food chain.

    False, Beverley, Howard and Paul were never on the same team. Stop playing what if games, silly 99ers

    When Harden was here I just assumed you didn't watch Rockets games. I take it you don't watch Nets games either?

    You guys always forget that Harden wasn't happy with CP3 and was pushing him out. Morey didn't want to move CP3. Harden did.

    Why bring up a bunch of culture killers who are not winners and don't know how to step on throats and things?
    We did away with them so we can instill tilmanisms, fighting and winning culture, and learn how to step on throats in basketball. LandrysRockets

    And you forgot Nets: MDA, maybe even jeff green
