    How is a non-rotation level player help? The best thing would’ve been the unknown asset. If it was a decent 1st, then that could’ve been used to acquire some real help. If not, then Idc. Tilman ain’t taking on some non-rotation level player on a bad deal for some pathetic asset.

    Yeah you are right. The rumors said it was a non rotational player so I'm guessing trash players with a massive deal like Waiters, Reggie Evans and Hayward.

    The Rox don't need that kind of "help" happy those trades fell through lol

    Non-rotational on their current team, but possibly rotational quality (just out of favour?)

    Fatty Johnson?

    These are the type of deals you want to fall through you dont want the Rockets to receive a nonrotational player making a big salary and get a low pick for compensation.

    it reads like the Rockets might have done the deal even tho the player wasn’t rotation-level quality for us...if that’s the case, I’m not interested unless I know how bad the contract is and how good the potential attached assets were, and I doubt the asset was anything amazing so thank God it fell through

    this deal ain’t missing out on help for Harden and Westbrook

    Riley and Memphis have recent history of screwing Morey too.

    Your title to this thread sucks.

    it’s says clearly says “even though it wasn’t for a rotational piece”

    Do better.

    This just in.... The Rockets had a chance to draft Kawhi but chose to draft an unnamed player instead in 2011
