    I, for one, am very excited to not have to watch Lou throw up 8 floaters/runners/off balance 3's a game

    Griffin is a FA, and u have to go all in while u still have Harden in his prime...not doing so is just wasting time

    we have young developing players who project to be nothing but role players, and this team that is tailored to Harden is composed of a bunch of role players which isn't anywhere close to being good enough...we need some stars, and we need them ASAP

    Lou Williams: I love being in Houston. For the Record.

    Harden's play making and ball handling load must be reduced...he's not a natural PG, he's a very good passing SG who we have running point...too many turnovers and too many bad decisions that wouldn't happen with a guy like CP3 running the show (the end of game 5 doesn't happen for example)

    I would love to bring in CP3 and have him running the offense and making most of the decisions while Harden is moved back to the 2

    Hayward isn't coming here, and we will never have the assets to trade for Butler so he's not even an option worth talking about

    we are in the running for Paul George due to his value being so low, and if Morey can get him, then u go all in on trying to get CP3

    I agree. It seems like he's in decline. The injuries are robbing him of his athleticism.

    I love Bev and respect what Lou did for us in the playoffs. Losing Ryan is addition by subtraction as far as I'm concerned. I'm glad we're aiming high. Let's not get too sentimental about these guys. We already knew our team as constructed could not contend.

    Nobody is mad at Lou. Lou does his thing. He's a pro.

    Murray treating players as assets continues. No one is safe, don't get settled in too much.

    You have to keep making moves until you're able to compete with the Warriors and I appreciate that.

    These are grown ass ****in men, fans need to get over this ****.

    Man. I am going to miss watching Lou play. Just a beautiful player to watch when he gets rolling. :/

    You have to wonder what made Morey sign Ryno to that BS contract in the first place

    Some here will say he was bidding against himself but there was an article midseason that reported Anderson had multiple teams bidding for his service. Rockets, surprisingly, weren't even the highest bid according to that article.

    Desperation.

    Losing out on Horford and not even getting a meeting with Durant is one thing.

    But getting turned down by Kent Effing Bazemore?

    Yeah, I bet Morey looked down on his list of FAs and said he needed to snag one of them even if it was an overpay. Anderson was lucky his name was on the list lol

    And another thing.. we have up a first for a player that won't get you a first today.

    I like Morey, but he sure does make a lot of panic moves from time to time. That pick would surely help us, but I guess he's easier to move today than Brewer's scrub ass.

    Anderson, Lou, and Bev make a combined 32 mil next season. I'm not sure how you net Chris Paul AND Blake Griffin even if you manage to dump all those contracts. You'd be lucky to land one of them.
