    Nah, will be hard to scare me off.

    1. Yes, Howard is past his prime. He's never going to be Orlando Dwight again. His game was predicated on being a super athlete, he's not that any more. If you are getting another really good playe

    2. I think they will target whoever they can. Conley, Horford, Durant would be on this list. I don't think you can build around Howard and he's going to be past 30. Harden is still a young player.

    3. Morey is an excellent GM. One bad season doesn't make him a bad GM or even close to incompetent. The truth is this team was predicted to be a contender. Before the season it was said to be stacked. Morey acquired that talent, he didn't have much to do with the chemistry issues. He didn't have much to do with Lawson being a failure or the regression of players. As for what he's done for confidence? Well the Rockets are a top 5 team since Howard+Harden. I think the Rockets would be wise not to overreact. Sometimes a team has a bad year because of this or that. The Rockets have been highly competitive since Morey took the helm, he makes mistakes but so does every GM in the league.

    I see a lot of stuff about Morey, a lot of piling on. Like an article comparing the Rockets to the 6ers. It's going overboard now. Morey is one of the best GMs in the NBA. The only knock on him is he doesn't have championships, but that's like more than half of the NBA now.

    I thought every TNT game started 15 minutes after the "start time" instead of the usual 10. While we're on the topic, why do they do that in the first place?

    I agree that is an overboard accusation but I also don't think Morey is a top GM either. Definitely a middle of the road GM in my book. He's just a swing big guy who happened to get Howard (How much of this was Morey, how much Harden). He overpaid for Harden and made him the first option, where he does not fit. That's a bad move in my book, and not one that "one of the best" would make. You say he didn't have much to do with Lawson, that's true, but lets be honest - there was reason to be concerned regarding Lawson who had just come off of his second DUI.

    It's against Moda and Blazer policy to throw anything in the arena, you should alert security and have him removed.
