    Or another mediocre pick. I like him though, unfortunately can't play multiple positions.

    don't see Sauce Castillo and Bum Baldwin sticking around, would love to ditch them and go after Wayne Ellington and/or JaMychal Green

    you're miserable? LOL what exactly are you upset about. youre gonna miss chriss or knight? thats pretty sad then. you should be miserable

    there's virtually no reason to be this upset unless you for whatever odd reason you cling on to chriss/knight/or some imaginary player

    :eek: I've been saying since Rockets traded Ryno: Rockets need a full Caucasian on the bench to contend for a title.

    I’m guessing that the team will release either or both of Baldwin / Stauskas. Or there might be another trade coming.

    Our best hope is Buyout players. Hopefully we can land DeAndre Jordan and Ellington or Wesley Matthews.

    Now I actually feel sorry for the fans who honestly think this trade deadline isn’t about saving money for the Rockets. It’s sad.

    With what assets? Otto Porter just got dumped for nothing. If the Rockets (under Tillman) so lightly regard 1st rounders, why not send 3 lightly protected to Washington for a really good player in his prime?

    Flip Shumpert, Stauskas, & a 2nd round pick into Tyreke Evans.

    Now, we're in business.

    I'm nowhere close to miserable but would much rather have the draft pick.

    I also understand the need to not ALWAYS be over the luxury tax line. So get under it this year please!! I think next year is more open for the taking.
