    Look at what's going on around the league.
    Teams losing key pieces, crazy signings. Jordan, splitter, aminu, etc... 3 teams have done nothing. Warriors just retain green, Memphis signed Wright and us just waiting.
    While teams are scrambling waiting on Aldridge and signing lucrative deals we have lost nothing and made the wcf.
    No need to rush, we will have a great roster, very close to what got us there but better. I trust Morey and being patient is good. That's how you get trades on the cheap then work over the cap to retain Brew,Bev,Smoove.
    Stay patient guys.

    We'll see how smart he looks....at some point, he's gonna alienate his own FAs by treating them second to EVERY STAR THAT'S A FREE AGENT, every single year. I know that he has a good idea by adding LMA to the Rockets, but at what cost? He still hasn't gotten them a decent point guard(three years now), but instead goes after a guy who plays at one of our positions of strength. At this point, the writing must be on the wall that Aldridge is not coming here. Time to get Brewer and Smoove back, while trading for a PG that can score and distribute(George Hill, Lawson, anyone??) If Deron Williams gets bought out, he'd be great too. I hope that DM isn't shooting himself in the foot again.....our team was 3 games from playing for the trophy. This team isn't broken, and just needs a tweak at PG.

    Last year it cost us Chandler but he had a plan and it was written losing Chandler(Trevor). I'm sure he has a plan and has talked to our free agents. Why would brewer go to NY when he was already losing in Minny, money? Well we can work over the cap and pay equal value and win. Same for Bev and Smith.
    I'm sure he had a trade ready to go if we strike on LMA. Darren Collison? Rodney Stuckey? Still there's options, no need to panic.

    Center was also a position of strength when Morey went after Dwight Howard. It made the team better.

    Actually we lost by not upgrading the PG position and chasing unneeded FAs

    I think you're referring to last year free agency. We had Patrick , but he got hurt.
    Just trust me we will have a good pg tandem by the start of season.

    We're not losing them, if any it'd be Brew and Dekker is the replacement.

    Houston didn't sign Bosh and lost Parsons/Lin & Asik and got considerable better by adding Ariza/Brewer & Smith. I'll even throw in Terry even tho he was a liability once moved to starting pg..

    "If" we lost Smith & Brewer or Smith & Bev are we better now? Dekker is a rookie and unproven yet!!! Prigs & Terry are too old!!

    We should know Morey by now. He doesn't make dumb decisions and just sign anyone for the sake of signing them. He is a master at trades and great contracts. We will have a better team by the start of the season.

    I wish I did because I'd be making money but I'm broke.
    But in all honesty he doesn't make dumb signings that hurt the team.

    If Brew jets, yeah he is. Is he capable? Why not? He's got the skills and is way younger. No one thought Parsons would be good right?
