Curious to see how Russ fits into the Rockets system.

So if Houston wins the championship, does Presti get a ring?

Gawd damn the West is stacked. Every single game is crucial.

Load management eat your heart out.

Clippers and Lakers have some headaches with load management. You can't afford to be dropping games against the fodder, let alone the contenders.

This has to be the most anticipated season that I can ever remember.

So Houston now have two low IQ stat padding ball hogs, that dont believe in defense, who can't play off the ball, one of who that couldn't hit water shooting from a boat. On top of that two of the biggest inflated egos in Basketball.

Yeah there's just no way this will go wrong :crazy:

Westbrook is a fraud but Harden isn't. OK.
2 WCF trips with Harden as the leader, where did Russ lead OKC? Exactly. He's a fraud in my opinion, maybe not your's, but you ain't changing my opinion and I don't give a **** about your's. Results speak for themselves, conversation over.

Where did those WCF trips end up getting Harden? He's a massive choker that plays no defense and gets his points from flopping. I don't even know why you would be mad, Westbrook is a massive upgrade over Chris Paul and you basically just swapped contracts.

CP is not giving up all that money. OKC will have a meeting with him and he will give a list of places and they will filter for the best offer

Lol at these protections, nothing preventing Morey from dumping Harden and Westbrook in 2-3 years and tanking hard.

That conference finals visit over the Clippers was all Josh Smith and Dwight Howard

In hindsight, OKC didn't let Miami improve so the values of their Miami picks will decrease.

Sam presti is a genius.

PhilBlackson · Post #355 » by **PhilBlackson** » Fri Jul 12, 2019 1:06 am

If I was Fertitta I wish I owned a Hot Tub Time Machine so I could fire Morey before he made this trade.

Morey maybe the most overrated GM of all time. Seems to be a theme *ahem*
