Yea, the Westbrook gamble was an utter failure. Downsizing Capela for no big at all (to appease Westbrook), a total failure. Canning all of D'Antoni's assistants but not firing Pringles himself.. nonsensical. Making our only high value trade chip (Gordon) un-tradeable with that new extension... icing on the cake.

I figure a report next week that Pringles and HOU "agree to part ways" or whatever. But Morey needs to get canned, and a fire sale needs to occur.

Man the capela trade was looking good but since Russ came back from the restart and specifically the quad injury he ain’t been right.

the real problem is the lack of adjustments(coaching issues) and lack of skill surrounding harden.

I wouldn’t be surprise if Harden requests a trade. He’s too deep into his prime for a fire sale or restart on the whole makeup of the team

...So what the fukk do we do now? Another disappointing season with a playstyle that doesn't work longterm. We're always in the playoffs but never seriously considered an actual contender. I don't want to rebuild but big names don't even want to come here because of our style. What the fukk do we do?

Stop it breh. A peaking LAC waxed us during that stretch, the same way these peaking LAL got us.

Capela a p*ssy ass nygga that needed to go but the concept of a big man isn't. LAL, LAC, DEN if pressed can all do our shyt better.

Even Miami does our shyt better than we do without resorting to midget ball. We need to stop the bullshyt and find some kelly olynyk and ivica zubac ass cacs.

The 2018 team was the prototype but we let the wheels fall off. Overpaid for Capela, overpaid CP3, let Ariza walk with no replacement, and couldn't replace Luc Mbah Boute.

Ideally you surround Harden with gritty 6'8 or taller 3&D wings, a 7ft PnR defensive center, and a 2nd star. Other than Clint being undersized, we had that in '18.

That's what's we have to get back to but with a different coaching regime that makes us more player-friendly. However, James is 31 and it may take 1-3 years to untangle this whole mess.
