jfc...is harden like this every game?

Breaking News: Ty Lawson doesn't work with James Harden, has been relegated to a sixth man role therefore will be looked upon as a sixth man for every other team in the league.

You must think Mo Williams and Jose Calderon are a better players than Ty Lawson.

6th man? what does that expression even mean to you?

or did you mean 16th man?

Even if we don't make the playoffs we traded essentially Prigioni, Dorsey, Nick Johnson, and Kostas Papanikolaou for Ty Lawson. We keep the protected 1st round pick we included. We gave nothing for a starting PG with time a two years left on his contact. That's an amazing move, and will be even more worth it when we flip him for something else.

We gave literally 0 rotational players for Ty Lawson. Morey is the ultimate opportunist.

More trades, who cares if it kills chemistry.

Right on, bro. Morey is the trade master. ULTIMATE opportunist.

Prigioni, Dorsey, Johnson, Papanikolauo >>> Lawson.... right?

None of those guys would even make the Rockets rotation, I don't even know if any of them are even playing in the league right now.

ironically lawson isnt even making the rockets rotation right now nor even playing in the league.

Why does Morey even bother choosing better players over building chemistry...

Lin, Harden, Parsons, Jones, Asik, Beverley, Garcia, Delfino, and Greg Smith had dynasty potential as a team, you just have to build chemistry. Amirite?

how would you define a successful GM? he turned a good team into a bad one.

No one thought some of the role players on the Warriors had dynasty potential. Look at them now. Chemistry is everything.

if harden had the same roster as curry op would be jumping off the empire state building but just because curry makes them look good then all of a sudden they're a stacked team

What analytics are you talking about? Did you come from the Barkley School of Idiots?

I'm talking about your GM, who has never played a game of competitive basketball in his life, and uses strictly numbers to make roster decisions.

I think he's actually made good moves, but when those moves don't work, it's time to start questioning your methods.

Ironically, the Rockets just fired the guy who has all the real basketball experience and knowledge. Maybe they'll just hire a robot to coach the team?

Trying to decipher this post. Are you saying Curry's presence makes Iguodala and Draymond the players they are?

Do you know how retarded that statement is? You're comparing the Warriors to the bums that Harden had to deal with in 2013.

or just hire the tech guys who programmed the computer that makes trades on nba2k16.

We'll never know if a player can pan out on the Rockets around Harden, because Morey will trade their ass anyway.

LOL if harden on warrior, i think bogut would fight him, green will be a scrub coz harden will never let green dribble the ball let alone lead in assist, harrison barnes will develop exactly like Tjones, clay will be traded for a defensive pg, and Iggy will never ever consider to join Harden during free agency. the whole thing just fall apart. Thats how shitty Harden is as a teammate.

[Fallen Angel]

how would you define a successful GM? he turned a good team into a bad one.

The Rockets had three successful seasons in a row considering where the team was before Harden arrived. It all culminated in a 56 win season and an appearance in the WCF losing to the loaded Golden State Warriors. The only change the Rockets made from last year's playoff roster to this year's roster is that they swapped Josh Smith and Pablo Prigioni with Ty Lawson.

Let's not blame the horrible coaching staff and players on the Rockets for how bad they're playing, blame the GM that is doing his job with making the team better on paper.
