    This wont do in todays league. We need more PFs so we can make the playoffs and win a championship. How can we beat any team with only 6 PFs when we are missing 9 other PFs.

    Everyone thinks all this is part of Moreys plan to get us something bigger. I cant wait to see the excuses.

    This is why I hate Morey drafting in the first round, it seems he is legit when he says they draft the best player available rather then for position needs. Although why the didn't get at least a more desirable player to act as trade bait or possibly join together like Warton Jr is beyond me.

    We have 9 forwards on the roster. I know we are gonna get rid of some but we can never clown Kahn again for his PG fetish.

    How about we all just step back, take a deep breath, and calm the **** down. Martin and Lowry are on their way out. That means people are coming in. Chill.

    on undersized center and a bunch of fowards , bad drafting going on in houston. Picking best player available is stupid that late in draft when you already traded for 3 fowards the day before SMFH

    Source confirms the "minor move" by the Rockets was for the 53rd pick of the draft, Turkish power forward Furkan Aldemir.

    Why would you waive Royce White lol? Morey thinks the dude has top 5 talent without off court issues.

    yeah I'm becoming supremely frustrated with this asset building crap. It's like a never ending cycle of sucktitude.
