    In before Clutchfans drama queens spell doom to our season because Morey did not sign Marion.

    Honestly though, would have been nice to have Marion of the bench, still has some juice in the tank.

    Morey is definitely an idiot. Obviously Marion was offended that we signed Kostas before him!

    So we're not even going to try to get Allen. Haven't we all been saying Morey could use the BLEfwiw exception on Ray Allen. Dammit, do we have to 'splain everything to him

    What makes you think we didn't offer Marion a contract, and what makes you think we aren't going to try and sign Allen?? Marion wanted to play with LeBron.....it even says that trumped all other offers which implies there were offers of MORE money.

    I still say if rockets got out the first round more vets would wanna play in Houston.

    That first round exits is scaring off vets looking for a last Hurrah
