Rockets trade D-Mo, Thornton to Pistons for first round pick

That pick is probably between 10-16, Morey has not been able to draft well so it's horrible for now. Unless he has a PF lined up..damnit, more ****ing TJ!!

 

people reacting stupidly as normal but the way i see it, Morey doesn't do this deal unless he has something bigger in the pipeline

 

Good.!

 

Trade Jones too please.

 

T Jones wasn't getting a first rounder back. And wouldn't be shocked to still see him gone.

 

You should be ashamed of yourself.

 

...as mentioned earlier, the trade opens up a roster spot meaning we can now take back more players than we trade away. I imagine this is part of the plan...I'm just scared that plan is trading Ty Lawson for trey burke and some riff raff out of Utah.

 

yawnn

 

Maybe I'm bias.. but this all depends on how much you value a bag of dicks.

I think D-Mo and Thornton were the two players on the team with the lowest market value relative to their value to the Rockets. So it certainly bothers me to see them traded for a meh draft pick.

I hope this doesn't mean four more years of depending on Terrence Jones.

I had no idea Joel Anthony still had a career.

On the good side, empty roster spots are a plus if we want to make a bigger move.

 

If Dmo gets back to last season form, they got a steal.

 

Jones is as good as gone.

Better return than what Utah got for Kanter, and what OKC got for Jackson -- RFAs traded last year.

 

Anthony is a left-hander.

 

Alright I'm off the Morey bandwagon now. I am officially hating him. Trading a potential player in D-Mo for an old, out of prime, unproven player. F U Morey, I hope you get fired.

 

thanks Moreh for adding more crap to an already ****ty season

 

We got our stretch 4! In 9 years, Joel Anthony has never missed a three-pointer.


Then again, he's never attempted one. EVER. Gotta hand it to a guy who knows his limitations.
