    I think we are screwed If we lose Morey, but If anyone can quickly rebuild on the fly, it is Morey, even with LT restrictions and zero draft picks.

    Grumble grumble “business decision.”

    Yeah I can understand the move . Doesn’t mean Tilman isn’t a piece of **** for constantly blowing smoke up his own ass.

    Daryl Morey: Midgets have greater championship potential

    “Pretty straight forward. The best way to play with our stars that we feel is the one that gives us the best chance to win the championship is with a stretch four, playing up-tempo, shooting and wing defenders,” Rockets general manager Daryl Morey said. “Robert Covington was for sure the best one available.”

    “It was nice to win with key players out,” Morey said of Westbrook missing two of those five small-ball games with Harden out in one of those as well. “We’ve been high on Covington for quite a while. It really wasn’t us holding that up. There were a lot of suitors for him. We finally found a deal that worked.”

    “He’s very good off the ball, knowing how to position himself, anticipates, gets steals, denies passing lanes,” Morey said. “On the ball, he’s a guy who can honestly take the ball from someone Kawhi (Leonard) like. He’s somebody who really fits how coach (Mike) D’Antoni wants to play.”

    “We feel comfortable with the roster as it is,” Morey said. “We have at least 10 Mike is comfortable putting on the floor to win big-time playoff games.”

    We found the Rockets employee account.

    Try not to be so obvious next time.

    Tilman's son Patrick is already set to take over down the road. We're already screwed as is

    Now that would be brutal. I'm glad I have all you cyber Rocket friends to share with in the misery. :D

    Right now though, I'm excited for this team. I'm ready to enjoy it.

    I don't think people realize how much better Robert Covington is then Clint Capela, on both ends. It is a major upgrade.

    Capela + 1st for Roco...

    We got totally fleeced just because Tilman wanted to save money again.

    Ariza netted Kelly Oubre Jr who is killing it for the Suns. Awful decision to let him go for nothing. We had people on here defending that move at the time too. Idiots.

    That's good. Let's find out who the real Houston Bloods are.

    Not like those CA fans that jump dicks depending on what is fashionable.

    Tilman said he only wanted to avoid the repeater tax, so what's he so afraid of?

    10 ... harden , Gordon , rivers , WB , maclemore , house , pj , Covington ... that’s 8 . Who are 9 and 10 ? Tyson , thabo , Clemons , Hartenstein!!?!?!

    Let’s be real , we have 8 . Mike won’t even play an 8 man rotation half the time .

    It depends on who shakes loose I guess , but if we aren’t players in the buyout market how can rockets fans not be bitterly disappointed?
