    Morey took a gamble and failed. Had we kept Lin, Asik and Parson, we would have had same team. not good. He's the only GM with big enough balls to attempt these kind of moves. IN MOREY I STILL TRUST!!!

    I love people thinking that cap space to get Kevin Love actually means getting Kevin Love. Did you not see what Bosh just did to us?

    We have no assets now
    The West got stronger we did not. We ma be worse due to chemisry.

    Morey is banking on that 3rd star.. didn't really work out this year. No guarantee it will next either

    THIS. SO MUCH THIS.


    You know how you get Love or Rondo or whomever? You have assets to TRADE TO THEM...because they mostly don't sign with Houston.

    Now, we simply have one less asset. A very talented asset Morey let walk for nothing.

    What are the chances that any of these three will choose Houston as a free agent. We had all the flexibility in the world and did not land one. And this was with Parsons on the roster.

    All will be traded before the deadline and resign with their new teams. Can't believe Morey and Les aren't smart enough to see that.

    Actually, I was being sarcastic, but thanks for the response anyway.

    BIMA THUG, are you out there to explain our remaining options?

    We're not as "broke" as some of you are groaning about ... lol ... geesh ... We swung for the fence, and struck out on this time to bat, but Morey's smart as it comes with shrewd moves, and there are lots of more times up to bat before next year's playoffs.

    I'm sure the Rocket's front office ran this choice and other possible options by our 2 stars before making this decision, and what the consensus was on pursuing a championship.

    Who do we have on our team that we could trade for Kevin Love? Parsons was the player that the other teams wanted. TJones has some trade value, but it's going to take more than that and some draft picks to get Love.

    Yes, it seems that as much as dm talks about free agency as a way to improve the team, it appears there are really only two ways: draft, current player improvement. I don't buy these guys talking about the next FA class and let's save space for durant. He ain't coming, nobody coming. Not to say its a bad org ... I think we r great, but for some strange - ass reason ain't nobody got time to sign with the rox.
