Houston Rockets - Hizzy's Hizouse

[T Dot O Dot]

Utah had it right when they moved Deron

If a guy turns down an extension, then move him immediately, that will be the new standard and makes Toronto/Cleveland management look even more incompetent over the Bosh/Bron fiascos

[sotola]

agreed dot. You never get fair value for a guy when they are non-commital to returning. I like what Presti is doing in OKC. It definitely hurts the team short term but he got "decent" talent in return and who knows what the picks become... but a heck of alot better than the Miami 2nd rounder we received.

Have to agree that Harden's overrated. I know he's young, but he looked lost for long stretches of the playoffs.

Harden showing what he can do when the ball is in his hands.

37 points, 12 assists, 6 rebounds, 4 steals...

[aTm]

Best player ever.

[hedge]

Some day people will remember him as the greatest #1 pick in the draft of alltime. Not yet, though, he still has much work to do to eclipse Jordan in that department...

[sotola]

Jordan wasn't number one in the draft. The blazers wanted Sam bowie....definition of big mistake.

[hedge]

You've a blasphemous tongue...

[Jungle Rat]

No overall #1 pick will ever be better than the Jordan/Bulls pick. It changed history.

[Bklyn]

Sotola...it's an inside joke carried over from TGP. Don't fight it, embrace it. I personally like the addition of Harden to the mythology...albeit a bit premature. So far, Jeremy Lin is a better #1 pick than Harden. Only so far.

[aTm]

Thanks OKC!

[Bklyn]

The kid is special. Better than I realized...and I knew he was good.

harden, wtf?

goin' off!!!

[Owlman]

OK, I admit it. It looks like the trade is much better than I originally thought. I'm surprised that Terrence Jones hasn't entered a game yet.

Observation, not a complaint

[aTm]

Itd be nice to see the fucking games.

[sotola]

I still don't think Harden's a max player. Nice empty stats but he's 2nd tier in my opinion. I think OKC wins in the end. I understand why Houston did the deal, and it's a very good pick up for a team that was quickly fading into oblivion, but it came at a huge price imo.

[hedge]

Aye, but what price bolivian?

[Owlman]

They still have room to sign a max player next year (if they can find one)
