    No it was a joke about how bad Maker is.

    All of these moves have involved the GM and the coach.... the Rockets front office and coaching staff are on the exact same page right now about what to do to win.

    He is not horrible he can switch onto smaller players. He can't jump like Clint but he is more of an effort/ hustle player.He lays it all on the line.

    It would be one or the other. Allen is on his rookie deal, so the Rockets could easily match his salary.

    I’m not sure how the Rockets could make a trade for Thompson’s $18 million expiring contract.

    I'm not sure how this makes sense when two days ago reports said Morey tried to trade Capela for Allen and Prince and got rejected, why would the Nets trade Allen for a 2022 pick now?

    The defensive concerns are valid, but he was considered one of the best centers at switching on perimeter players back when the Cavs played the Warriors in the finals.

    Thompson’s contract shouldn’t bother anyone. He’s a free agent after the season.

    I'm thinking Jarrett Allen is one of them, based on second hand rumors.

    Morris would be a really great get for what we're trying to do.

    Unless I'm reading wrong, his salary could fit in one of the 3 million trade exceptions. He wouldn't even have to be added to the Covington trade.

    Daryl Morey is like the middle aged guy at the liquor store with no money left except 3 quarters and a dime and a handful of pennies trying to see what he can buy to get him drunk.

    Allen has at least twice the value of Prince guys so, not a chance.
