Rockets just came off of a bad season, so he is currently undervalued in the eyes of many. Keep in mind that he was the NBA Player of the Month in April of this year and he pretty much single-handedly willed the Rockets to the Playoffs. None of those guys you listed could do something like that with the state the Rockets were in this past season.

His defensive woes are often overblown. Take things into context - he was the only offense on the team this past miserable season. I was more concerned with the decline in defense from Beverley, Howard & Ariza. But all that said, last season was an aberration, so I don't put too much stock into it.

Rockets fans are used to other fans piling on Harden. It's nothing new and it is not going to change. No point really talking with some people about it.

Broussard has us in the Eric Gordon sweepstakes. No sure how I feel about this. When healthy dude can flatout score and I mean score but he has not been heathy for a while.

Well, Feigan reported just now that the Rockets have given Dmo his qualifying offer, making him restricted, but do not plan to do so with Jones

No meeting with Conley. That kinda sucks but I'm okay with that since I just don't think he is max worthy also can't see him leaving Memphis. Horford has to be top priority. I hope we somehow manage to land Horford with Mozgov, Dudley and Televoic.

He first became an NBA rotation player under D'Antoni in LA. He would be AWESOME here. He didn't plan on taking meetings until July 5th

Was Bazemore on anyone's radar before tonight?
