Blazers - Rockets GIGABLOCKBUSTER

This is a door knock that I happily answer and accept.

While Portland provides quite a compelling argument, and one that I do agree with, there are multiple ways to build a DYNASTY! This is a DYNASTY league after-all, isn't it?

In a vacuum, this is a surface level ugly trade, it is... I agree (save your knee jerk reactions until the end, please).

This is what just happened in the eyes of the Houston Rockets front office....

After numerous discussions, late nights, 2 black eyes, 1 broken nose, 5 thrown chairs, countless slammed doors and "Corporate Bullying", we concluded that a freshly shaved BEARD was the way we wanted to present our franchise moving forward.

We have secured 2 top 10 picks in this years draft, and by moving a player of James Harden's stature and ability, we have also by consequence chosen a path and secured another top 3 pick next year in our own pick.

We have also opened up an immediate 30 million in cap space that we can then utilize on what we have determined to be the best UFA class this league will likely EVER see.... EVER! Look at the names yourself. None have Harden's statistical prowess, we admit, but is Harden and Aldridge really a team that will compete for a title?? We honestly answered, "NO".

So, we chose flexibility, and the "long game", and will allow the other 19 teams to scrap it out for a chance at title #1, we will take a committed approach in building a true DYNASTY.

We wish the Blazers organization the best of luck moving forward, and also want to take this time to remind teams like TimberWolves, Lakers, and other teams to save some $ for their upcoming RFAs... The Blazers are plotting, planning, and watching....
