    Quick Questions:

    1.) Who's going to supplement Paul/Harden? Paul has an injury history and we don't have enough cap/assets to get another 6th MAN quality talent. Bench is VERY important especially with teams like Spurs/Warriors. Who's going to score the ball off the bench, no one is reliable.

    2.) Will Cousins take a paycut to stay in Houston? Nothing to this point has indicated that he's matured one bit, not to mention he's been linked to the Lakers. Yes, he would probably kill it with Paul but I just can't see Morey pulling the trigger UNLESS it's Ariza/Capela/NG Bro's/picks. Tucker fills that void at the forward position.

    My main concern is our bench and can we make a trade without giving up Gordon.

    So, will Rockets fans rejoice with the trade - or, disappointed with departing assets? Here's hoping E.G. is not involved in any trade.

    this guy only wants to reveal the obvious...everybody already knows about Harkless

    If he knows that NY is getting a healthy return, then why won't he say what some of the other assets are?

    When they said this thing was at the 2 yard line, did they mention which side of the field the ball was on?

    1. We find that out later, you go for star talent 1st (and Cousins again, is a major, major talent). Build you're bench later. Morey is great at finding diamonds in the rough.

    2. If we we're to trade for Cousins, he wouldn't have to take a pay cut.. in fact, we'd have his full bird rights and could offer him more money then anybody else in the league.

    So this guy is basically confirming the suspicion that everything has been agreed upon between Hou, NY, Por. Just have to find someone to take Myers Leonard...

    The thing is though, we know they aren't getting it from us. Otherwise we wouldn't need a 4th team to take on salary because we' be losing the salary of Gordon or Ariza, so we could take some back...

    Confirming? Nobody even knows if he has any credibility or is actually legit.

    It's ok. Gordon or Anderson off the bench is still a good player off the bench.

    Tucker
    Anderson
    Nene

    That's a solid bench

    not 1 playmaker among them

    If we lost Gordon and kept Ryno then what else are we giving up along with Ego to match Melo's salary?
