    Is Murray waiting for a blockbuster deal for Dragic? Williams was had for Gary frigging Neal and a 2nd rounder in 2019, 4 years from now. How the hell couldn't we have matched or exceeded that? What was his cap number this year? 3 million? WTF. Guy's putting up 12 and 6, and we cant drop a 4 year old deuce for him? Give me a frigging break. ONce again, the Stat Geek sits around twiddling his thumbs planning the perfect 2K roster while serviceable pieces all around get snatched up. Sick of this. Every frigging year. Every damn year. Did he learn nothing from the Bosh debacle? Whats the excuse this time? Mo don't play defense? what? someone effing enlighten me.

    Much like Derrick Fisher. I would hate for Mo Williams to be on this team. I've never liked the guy

    and what are you talking about. The whole 'Bosh debacle' worked out great for us


    My only concern is that Morey becomes content in building a playoff team year in and year out instead of a building a championship contender.. since Leslie's only requirement for job security is that the Rockets make the playoffs

    I'm not the biggest fan either, but he's a veteran PG who can score.

    Nah. Terry was a Rocket killer. But he wasn't a dirty flopper like Fisher or a punk like Mo Williams. He just hit clutch shots against us(and many other teams).

    no, for the most part people liked Jason Terry

    He killed us but he was never a Rockets villain like Williams and Fisher

    He never acted extremely disrespectful to our organization and flopped constantly to deserve the kind of hate I hold for Fisher and Williams

    Lol at getting all riled up because we didnt get Mo Williams. Like he was the key to our championship. Sometimes you just need to sit back and laugh at how stupid fans can be.

    Believe it or not, 29 other teams in the league will occasionally make trades that do not involve the Houston Rockets.

    I'm not quite ready to favor your instincts over Morey's when it comes to basketball decisions.

    I agree, why didn't Murray bring in good role players like Ariza, Smith, Terry a Brewer..... oh I guess Murray did.

    Kind of like Terry?

    In other news, chronic complainers will start inventing things to complain about. Yeah, I'm mad as as hell our point guard decided to dribble out the entire :24 in the end of a super close game too but I'm not going to get upset over Mo' Freaking Williams at the end of the day.

    That has more to do with Lin being a mental midget.

    You realize Neal is being bought out? Minnie didn't want anything but cap relief. Gave a 2nd to get it.

    Because we have our sights set on someone else, perhaps?
