    How Morey's obsession and Harden's pitches built the Rockets



    Let's play "guess the player." Who was that Eastern Conference defense-minded wing??? cc @Codman

    --
    The Rockets engaged in discussions with Andre Iguodala and JJ Redick about their midlevel exception, but they both signed significantly richer deals, Iguodala to stay with the Warriors and Redick to go to the Philadelphia 76ers.

    "You have to have multiple balls in the air to make sure you don't end up with no ball at the end," said Morey, who also had serious discussions with an Eastern Conference team about trading for a defense-minded wing.

    "So we were talking to all three of them at the same time, and they were all talking to multiple teams. Obviously, it coalesced when PJ had to make a decision, so he needed an answer from us, and that's when it was finalized."

    Article says a trade.

    SnT for Covington?

    Didn't we hear stuff for Thaddeus Young, too. Or was that a previous year. I don't follow trade threads much.

    Here, LeBron wouldn't carry the offensive load so he'd be able to focus on D. Duh

    I wonder if Washington value Otto Porter. Know they need help at backup guard I think E. Gordon would fit there. Not sure if they would value Tucker or not for a trade.

    Porter is more valuable straight up (to them). IMO.
