Harden-Lin-Asik

[ElNono]

#2 seed?

[FuzzyLumpkins]

I will say 6.

[racm]

Osama Lin Harden?

[Kai]

2 seed is locked up. Red Rising!

[purplengold]

2 seed is locked up. Red Rising!

wit harden bein they only good player I doubt they see much success

[rayjayjohnson]

a) who's going #1 next year?
b) how bad will the rockets tank for him?

[racm]

Knowing that they think they have a good perimeter they'd probably go after Nerlens Noel (which puts Asik back on the bench).

[Kai]

God I wish we could get a top pick, but I think Lin/Harden/Parsons/Patterson(Jones)/Asik is a good enough unit to put the Rockets right back in familiar territory (7-10th in the west).

This.

Morey is an idiot. Harden is not a legit first option, and Lin's best case is he turns out to be an adequate Landry impersonator, which he won't be. Houston right back to being mediocre and not moving for the next five years.

Atlanta of the West tbh, except the West is so stacked they won't even be consistently in the playoffs like ATL.

:lmao rockets
:lmao overpaying for Lin
:lmao amnestying your second best player
:lmao replacing Kevin Martin with Kevin Martin With A Beard.

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Harden shot 49% from the field and 40% from 3. For a 2 that's elite. Now I get that he had two elite players drawing attention away from him but Kevin Martin and his 41% shooting cannot hold Harden's jock. Then we can talk about defense and passing.

[rayjayjohnson]

Don't get me wrong, he's solid, but if this is what Morey thinks the best consolation prize is after Dwight, he's high.

[Kamnik]

Harden just became 23 years old this summer... he still has room to improve and become a top 10 player in the league.

This is a great move for the Rockets - the way they were build now they would suck horribly.

Now... there is room to grow.

[rayjayjohnson]

Here's the problem I think - Harden is good enough for them to maybe sniff the 8 seed now, but with the west the way it is I think being one or two teams off the cut is more likely - are't they going to be stuck drafting late in the lottery and stagnating for the duration of Harden's deal?

[rayjayjohnson]

...assuming they give him one, of course.

[Capt Bringdown]

It's all downhill for Harden, unless he finds another pair of coattails to ride on.

[Leetonidas]

stacked tbh

[elemento]

Rockets back in time to the 14th pick quest !

[Koolaid_Man]

God I wish we could get a top pick, but I think Lin/Harden/Parsons/Patterson(Jones)/Asik is a good enough unit to put the Rockets right back in familiar territory (7-10th in the west).

I agree as long as no one gets hurt....Lin is fragile tbh...


ohh and :lmao@ Mark Cuban....after losing out on Dwill and Dwight...he had his eyes set on Harding..

Cuban fucked again :lol

[Raven]

they were the worst team in the league (bobcats included), now they should be 9th in the west..

[Durantula35]

Harden choked in the finals but now he is being underrated by many as a result. He can still created for himself and others, still score in many ways and only 23.

[Latarian Milton]

the rockets ain't tanking shit tbh, they're going up there contending for the 2nd seed like all those years in the past

[Bynumite]

With these moves Rockets got the asian, turkish and terrorist jersey markets on lockdown and that's pretty much it.

Here's a wanted terrorist and Harden fan already rocking Houston colors after hearing the trade news:

[Kai]

what y'all smoking in Houston/Beijing?

Probably better shit than what causes your terrible grammar. Wanna match?

[purplengold]

Probably better shit than what causes your terrible grammar. Wanna match?

not with foos that think harden gon turn shit team around. y'all must be sufferin from creutzfeldt jakob disease

[Relevancy]

Rockets :lmao Who are they again? At least my Clippers are more relevant now:p:

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

7 seed at best.

[djohn2oo8]

I think they made the move to contend beyond this year, when they have someone recognizable to play with and build around, with room for another max player. This move wasn't necessarily about THIS year.

[whitemamba]

lol they are going no where, i think hardens on a slippery slope here...rockets will suck still.

[purplengold]

I think they made the move to contend beyond this year, when they have someone recognizable to play with and build around, with room for another max player. This move wasn't necessarily about THIS year.

dey did it cuz they wanna shot at all the premier FAs comin up. they tryna get star power n maintain cap space fo max deals. harden not really da kinda player that gotta star power ta attract somebody like Chris Paul tho. it big investment ta tryna seem better to FAs.

[ColinB]

Damn, that's a solid bench. Who is starting?

[Latarian Milton]

harden wants a max and he's gonna earn the money elsewhere. rockets ain't paying him max but there will be stupid teams willing to make a sign & trade deal with the rockets imho

[Kai]
