    They're having incredible years and both were on the verge of being all star reserves. Really makes you appreciate what they did for us when we didn't have a superstar.

    They both got snubbed ****ing lol

    Rocket players get no respect even when they are not Rockets anymore

    But they were who we thought they were, gritty tough players that we should've kept on this team.

    Did they actually make it? This is why I feel like we took a huge step backwards though in our PG spot. We went from Lowry/Dragic to Lin/PBev. That was a huge downgrade IMO.

    Ummm yeah people talk about them in pretty much every thread that discusses trades, morey or a PG & threads are in the NBA dish about them. Don't know why they needed a thread here.

    They are both gone, why are we still living in the past and what could have been? We could also not have Harden and/or Howard. Time to focus on the players we have, unless we are trading or signing said players.

    To be honest, no.

    If they are not playing for the Rockets, who cares? That has been the problem with the LOF fans.

    I don't know, ask Tinman.

    And I'm happy for Dragic. Don't know about Lowry since he basically forced his way out. This performance doesn't surprise me though, they were both really good here.

    Trade Lin for Lowry or Dragic. You'll just have to rid of McHale if that happens in case of Lowry...

    Very happy for any ex-rockets or NBA players in general who perform well.

    In the case of ex-rockets, if they played hard for Houston and did not public want out of the team will always be my good books.

    Don't know you would only root for active players but I am more a fan of basketball in general.

    What's really amazing about it is we had both of them at the same time.

    I think we must allow Morey to complete his master plan before we decide if we should've kept them. There were reasons why Morey traded them. I do miss both players though.

    I Feel for KLow he should have been in ahead of Demar.

    Dragic should have been there as well but I have no problems with Anthony Davis getting in to replace Kobe.

    Dragic is having a ridiculous season.

    Nothing against Lin, I think he has the potential to be just as good as Dragic is now, but Dragic is playing out of his mind recently.

    Though, the question is whether he can maintain his play. When Dragic was with us he had a long stretch of absolutely incredible games, but he was sort of quiet for a while afterwards, especially last season.

    Dragic is having better season than Harden.

    Morey should be fired for signing frauds like Lin and letting legit talent go for nothing.
