    Have to say I'm glad we didn't give up four first rounders on Butler. What was Morey thinking? He is an okay player, but nowhere near that value and based on his game would have been a poor fit with us.

    Agreed. But man would i have packaged Knight. Criss, and two firsts for Tobis Harris if i was Morey. Would have been the game changer for us at small forward and would have made this Rockets a force and shooin for the finals. Perfrct fit, shoots the three really well. Morey should hve been more aggressive.

    Yeah, our offense has been mediocre (since Chris Paul forgot how to shoot again), but showing this kind of defensive effort is encouraging. Hopefully, it's sustainable...

    Yeah, that's the one concerning thing. Can't be back to putting up Rondo stat lines.

    Morey probably offered more than that.

    Yes, hopefully we will get more scoring from Chris in addition to his defense and amazing playmaking.

    Clippers wanted Cap Space for two max free agents. They wanted nothing to do with Knight.

    He really seems to be. The guy was almost a non-factor against Houston. It felt that way to me, at any rate. I watched the game and while he made some plays here and there, he really did look lost. It was weird. Where was the player we were so eager to get?

    I think he was actually being sarcastic about James.

    Maybe so, but I was being sincere. ;-)

    Ohh, one of those "don't care about MVP" fans.

    Good for you.
