    - No Jimmy Butler

    - CP3 old and washed up. Stuck with him for another 4 years.

    Coach that can't coach defense AND now offense

    Best case scenario - Rockets win 48-50 games, make it to the playoffs only to get eliminate in the first or second round.

    This teams is not going anywhere. The rockets are a treadmill team, running in place going nowhere. Not good enough to win a championship but also not bad enough to get a high draft pick.

    It's time to tank for Zion Williamson.

    Even if we had #1 overall % pick next year the NBA would never let the Rockets end with 1st pick.

    Time to trade CP3 to his buddy Lebron, tank for a top pick, sign Durant in free agency and trade the pick for Davis:

    Capela
    Davis
    Durant
    Harden
    Bobby Brown

    I'm sorry, but this is so cowardly. With so many games left to play, people are already throwing in the towel.

    I have my doubts about Zion's NBA fit. Anything is possible. I just don't feel it. Certainly wouldn't tank for an inknown commodity.

    Sixers started their Hinkie rebuild when we got Harden....

    Now Sixers are a better team than us and with a talented young core. They are set for the next 5 years.

    All we have for show is two disappointing WCF appearances. We're screwed for the next 5 years with that ugly CP3 and Capela contract.

    So you’d rather be a mediocre team that would be lucky to get out of the first round? Sounds smart.

    You would think that people would learn by now after the 09-12 seasons.

    “With the 14th pick in the 2019 nba draft, the Houston Rockets select...”

    They haven't even played 10 games yet. Are you serious? It's just November. They still have at least 70 more games left in the season.
