trading Lowry DOES NOT mean we are "rebuilding".. we were tryin to move lowry before, during and after the draft and we just did.. and back then it was to acquire a pick to ship to orlando… then we signed asik, then we talked to dragic, he left, we gave an offer to lee, no wait we changed our minds, we talked to and offered to lin but he hasn't signed.. still have 7 PF's on the roster.. yet we trade Lowry and NOW we are rebuilding..

so far morey lovers who seriously make excuses for EVERYTHING he has done must at some point admit that up until now the off season has been BIZARRE o say the least..

i still think he is working the Howard angle.. Howard will be moved before next season so until that happens Morey will be there offering everything we have.. then all this "rebuilding" crap will be back to huh wait a second what??

What has Morey done this offseason that doesn't fit in line with trying to get a superstar while putting yourself in a position to rebuild if you can't?

Howard doesn't want to be here and if he does come here he'll bolt. Do you really think we would even field a playoff team around him if we got him for one season?

Yep. Same drama each year. Which is why I just sat back and smiled when the discussion for big name targets was being brought up.

False hopes and promises. This is what the Rockets have been doing for years now.

Our team as it stands right now, even with Lin will struggle to win 20 games, how is that not rebuilding?

I am a Morey fan, this Summer is bizarre.

If we trade for Howard by taking Turk the tankers will be confused too.

BTW, I was discussing the Rockets with my friends here in Boston and the way we described it was "Involuntary Tanking", without even knowing that they are tanking.

And yes, people made fun of the Rockets management. It has been embarrassing.

Be glad, we've finally picked a direction...but some will NEVER be satisfied. Laugh at the idea of signing AB, but we'll get the price we want, we don't have a PG, and he'll run the floor while all of our young guys learn...and lose. That's how we get a top3 pick. There is NO instant gratification to be had here, so if u can't stand it, check back in 2015 when it's safe to call yourself a fan again.
^^This. It will be exciting to watch the young guys. Hopefully we get rid of a few PF's before the season starts so we can actually develop the youth that we have. I think that once we whiffed on signing some FA's we decided to rebuild and move players. Now we have to trade Kmart and Scola.

Ill watch almost every game and hope that Jeremy Lamb and Royce White become all-star caliber players. Complaining about everything wont help now.

Not at all. You didn't understand before, you don't understand now. Were I to explain this to you bozos every day, that would be tough, as most of you will never, ever get it.

Has anyone considered the possibility that Morey looks smarts, seems smart, sounds smart, but might be totally clueless at what he is doing. So far this offseason, he appears to be working for some other team. The Rockets are becoming less talented by the day. So far we have lost our two best point guards and signed a tall semi-talented bench player for starter money. Any questions?
