I love Dragic just like most of the fans in the city of Houston, but Lowry situation kinda hurt Morey's cred around the league.Lowry was putting up All-Star numbers at the start of the season when he was healthy( got hurt), and Lowry was kinda replaced when he was still under contract( and a pretty good PG) for a PG( in Dragic) who was in a contract year. I think many around the league will look at that, and say to themselves( i dont want that too be me). Also considering that Lowry is younger than Gogi, makes it that much worse

That was a coaching decision it had nothing to do with Morey. Essentially you are complaining about having two very good point guards on the roster.

show loyalty to the one under contract, because you never know if the other one will sign with us. LOL now look at us, we are in a situation where Goran's agent is holding us hostage, because they know Lowry has asked for a trade, and that Goran is a player that the Rockets.. HAVE TO SIGN..

I'm not sure what you want. Lowry was already rushed back from injury too soon. He couldn't play starters minutes anyway. Again this was a coaching decision. What exactly does it have to do with Morey?

But who essentially hired this coach? The whole league is laughing at Morey at this point

Paragraphs are your friends. Didn't read.

Carl Herrera · 07-01-2012, 01:51 PM

Don't know if it's mentioned, but Jermaine is probably laughing at the fact that you think he can still play NBA basketball.

This part is awesome, so what exactly is your name IRL so I can check the validity of your enrollment to Eau Claire High School of the Arts in Columbia South Carolina...

Ask Miami & Memphis Battier's worth. He hit a game winner to help Memphis against SA the same year & this year was one of the key contributors to Miami's championship run. We traded him for Thabeet (pure scrub) and D-Mo. How much did Thabeet contribute for us? What's D-Mo's worth as a NBA player? Nothing.

Outside of clutchfans, nobody cares about D-Mo lol

Guess you weren't here when the kings wanted him added in a package for the Sacramento's 5th.. Point is he's got a ton of potential.
Please tell me, which is more important to a rebuilding team? A young player with high potential or an older veteran who most likely wasn't going to resign?
Battier might be worth something in Memphis and Miami, but not in Houston who are rebuilding.

And Morey should have taken that deal, we might have Andre Drummond along with Tyreke Evans right now, or maybe even Dwight Howard

Morey is scared to sign on the dotted line, when its time to make a deal

You don't know that though. If you don't remember, the kings said the deal would be made if robinson not have fallen to them, but that wasn't the case.

quit lying. you aint friends with jermaine

Wow talk about clueless. Were you sleeping during the draft or something?

Jontro · 07-01-2012, 02:36 PM

I wish we had Jermaine O'Neal

As we all see, our team isnt very popular and only gets talked about when our GM seems desperate at draft time. Players and Agents are looking at our team like we are the damn bobcats!!!! 14th pick 3 consecutive years and yet solid players like lou williams, jason terry, Ersan Ilyasova, Dwight, D. WIlliams, etc etc etc wont even give houston the time of day. Les said it best in his interview with watch26 last night stating " we have to get back to the level of popularity we achieved with Yao on the roster" but moreys lowball/moneyball/no extension/ asset hoarding tactics are one of the main reasons it will be years before we have a decent team available to make a push for a ring.

You are so full of $&@...

rocketsmetalspd · 07-01-2012, 02:58 PM

The bottom of the totem pole is the most important on pole. So, the Rockets are best.

Wait. Goran Dragic's agent...is asking for as much as money as possible after an awesome last season?

NO WAI.

Landry played in 1 more game than Martin last season......41 to 40 and Martin started all 40 of his games. Landry started 8
