First D'Antoni now this? Harden is in for some really rough years.

[highwhey]

LeBron just sent them into full rebuild mode including the front office rebuild.

[insidious301]

Didn't see this one coming. Does it mean Houston still chucks threes?

[FKAri]

He's been phenomenal imo. If Morey had an owner willing to spend he'd have some chips by now.

[Proctor]

Rest in piss Rockets

He hasn't been terrible but i wouldn't say he's been phenomenal either. He's the reason why the rockets and teams in general shoot to many threes.

Dark years ahead sadly

Building a team around James Harden was a poor decision. Harden's inability to carry the franchise as Morey had hoped is why Morey is now gone.

Well they did have one of the best teams ever beat. I think harden was fine. If morey wasn't so hell bent on thinking threes are the end all and be all harden and the rockets probably could of won one

They also have financial incentives to axe Morey with the Hong Kong/China controversy.

Lol trade Harden

[Kiddlovesnets]

The dark age of Rockets is coming, time for teams to trade for Harden.

This Rockets team would be a lot worse if they didn't shoot many 3's. Thinking PJ Tucker can play the 5 is a much bigger issue. And that's something that was out of Morey's hands.

[brownmamba00]

Damn shame but CP made them contenders. Russ is just not on that level and that's on Morey.

They need bigs that can shoot...K Love comes to mind...

No they wouldn't. Harden has lost games spamming threes. Not talking anything drastic. There are times when a three isn't the best option. Morey dosnt believe this though and it has cost them

[AirBonner]

Maybe this will convince MJ to step down

[bison]

Glad to see this sinophobic imperialist lapdog gone. Hopefully they get a pro-China GM who isn’t brainwashed by pro-Hong Kong CIA propaganda.

[LoneyROY7]

Time to get Harden to a contender, boys!

[rawimpact]

LOL @ the thought of OKC being better then them next year.

That didn't take long at all.

Eat shit Russ, I'll be happy seeing Dame feast on the Rockets now.

Is that you, LeBron?

I called this years ago. Rocket fans were shit talking because they made the playoffs and won a series. But I told them that this is the best they'll get and the Lakers will win before you. Rest in Piss losers.

Yep this. If Rockets had CP3 instead of Westbrook this year, they beat the Lakers and then the Nuggets and then the Heat to win the Finals. The only team that gave them trouble in the playoffs was not in the playoffs.

[Basketball r Us]

Harden is on his way out. Rockets rebuild to commence soon !!

[lxlHoTsAuSelxl]

The west wish Lebron never came over, he wrecks franchises.

[NBAGOAT]

Fertitta was the one who wanted to trade Paul since he thought the contract was so bad. Morey was his biggest fan and it makes sense an analytics guy shouldn’t be attaching multiple 1sts to trade Paul for westbrook.

I don’t hate the move but it’s also what lead to small ball which didn’t work vs the lakers.

[bobopenguin]

this team is disaster.
stingy owner, no GM, no head coah, star's questionable leaership & westbrook's contract, lack of role player in size, salary cap.. not looking good.

can harden survive & thriving under new system? can he coexist with westbrook under new system? when can they get young stars? tsk tsk.. dark path ahead.
