    Actually I just voted I liked the trade.

    Not trying to impress you.

    Howard will not play 32 per game, plus where is Thorton?

    On the bench, he is not nearly as good as people think. He's one of the worst defensive players in the NBA and his O isn't good enough to compensate.

    LOL Holic can't help himself. He's still waiting and hoping for Jones to be traded.

    "Can't be intoxicated and drive. It's the law, son."

    OK, that's lame - no more jokes- hopefully he gets better. As it is, wow. Awesome pickup.

    What's baskethollic so salty about anyway? We just got a good PG for nothing. This poll should be unanimously YES

    Landed one of the rumored trade targets! I'm sure he'll do great here and bring some versatility to our offense. His highlights from last season are incredible breakdowns of opposing defenses. Finds the seams and exploits them when he's in motion.

    Rox keepin up with other moves this off-season. Looking forward to 2015-16!! :grin:

    I mean.. did they really weaken it? It's not like Terry or Prigs are good defenders ya know. We replaced that, with Lawson. I would say same, maybe better D just because Lawson is younger and quicker, with significantly better offense

    My thoughts on the minutes allocation

    Beverley (16) / Lawson (32)
    Harden (30) / Thornton (14) / Beverley (4)
    Ariza (28) / Brewer (14) / Harden (6)
    Dmo (24) / Jones (18) / Ariza (6)
    Howard (30) / Capela (14) / Dmo (4)

    Harden 36
    Ariza 34
    Lawson 32
    Howard 30
    Dmo 28
    Beverley 20
    Jones 18
    Brewer 14
    Thornton 14
    Capela 14

    Yeah, like you being made an azz all over again for the millioneth time.

    You are hoping that some type of trade deal is expanded, or because the ESPN trade machine doesn't allow the trade, that we have to add in TJones or something to make the trade work. Well that has been covered already by Bima in another thread.

    Why don't you just stop acting like you are an insider?

    YOU CLEARLY STATED THAT THE ROCKETS WOULD NOT TRADE FOR LAWSON WITH 25 MILLION DOLLARS OWED TO HIM. YOU WERE WRONG AGAIN. YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE ROCKETS PLAN TO DO, ARE DOING, AND WILL DO IN THE FUTURE...other than your horrible predictive guess work.

    He's just upset that his predictions were wrong again. I think.

    That's pretty much my feeling.

    Beverly is an improvement and Lawson is a lateral move, so it's a net positive for our PG defense.
