    ...you assume they are trading Dalembert + a pick to move up on the draft but they could just as easily be trading the pick for an existing NBA player - maybe even Gasol.

    What our fearless leader said. Hoopsworld is, to put it bluntly, a crap source. They have proven that time and time again, and one of the things that makes this site special, and credible (from the top), is that we don't knowingly allow the use of sources that are consistently a joke.

    I agree with the idea, but that last part was good laugh, though.

    Source with knowledge of Rockets' strategy says we should slow down on the Dalembert trade talk that was coming from other teams.

    Good old rumor posturing competition. One source (likely no the Rockets) leaking that "HOU is SELLING 16th pick + Dalembert!!!" Rockets tell journalist "No, OTHER TEAMS are looking to BUY 16th pick and Dalembert and WE ARE NOT SELLING!"

    Happens every time with every trade rumor involving every team.

    McHale seems terrible at managing his players. Seems really different to Adelman which, if I recall, only had issues with T-Will and Von Wafer.
    McHale seems to have problems with Lowry, Bear, Martin, Morris, etc etc etc. Not the best strategist coach, and not a good "player-coach".

    2-I have a feeling we will trade our 16th for "a future first" and a second round pick. Or something like that.
    If the Rockets just trade our picks just for the sake of not having too much rookies on the squad, i'll be pissed.

    Adelman also had issues with Tracy McGrady.

    To be fair... Tracy had issues with himself, his broke back, and the world

    Correct.... everyone's got issues....
    but the issues with Mchale was kept in the dark before the season....
    Reported that Martin, Lowry and maybe others were not happy to see Adelman go and replaced by a rookie coach
    During the season it got built up more and a lot frustration came also because of the Front Office and morey's ways to deal with players that are not superstars...
    Only thing I noticed...The Front Office was loyal to Yao

    So, basically Morey told 610 to bring up Dally this morning, so that he'd have time to do damage control before rumors leaked out...

    Other than Lowry, who else has ever come out and said anything about McHale in a negative manner? I challenge you to find quotes from all 4 of these guys... QUOTES ... that do not come from Hoopsworld, the one person out there with a media pass who has openly admitted that he is a disgruntled former Rockets fan and has openly professed his distain for Morey.

    FYI, Martin's issues were with the trade that got vetoed because.... his exact quote.... "Daryl showed his hand." Not sure what McHale had to do with that one.

    Ignore the smere campaign and make up your own mind please people.

    Hoopshype don't report stories, they're just a news portal.
