    Scrubs don't start and put up 21 points in a game like Burks did last night

    I'm going to guess that you've never seen Burks play.

    Prime buyout candidate. Always liked his game. A 3/4 who can handle the rock, take advantage of mismatches, and switch on D.

    Shot comes and goes but for the minimum, you can do much worse

    I'm not greedy. All I want for this trade deadline is a veteran SF with a 3 point shot 6'8 or taller who can spell us at PF if needed.

    Ariza, Danny Green..... Somebody.

    I get this feeling that at any moment there will be a flood of trades and moves that even WOJ won't be able to keep up with. Everyone is either buyers or sellers, and few are staying as is. I just hope the Rockets can get in on some of it.

    Yeppers, agree; Wiz are a horror show. Would Kieff be Marcus if he were elsewheres, like TheToyShop, for instance?
    The Wiz' implosion has already occurred; the fall-out is still up-in-the-air...

    First, Cod, stay healthy my man!

    Thanks for the 411 from the Ears!

    Look, I have been blunt about this. If I am the Rockets, using Morey's famous words from the Harden trade *anything not tied down*, that is why I am doing for Bradley Beal. The goal is getting a SECOND STAR to pair with Harden to EXTEND the championship window.

    That might even mean taking a slight "step back" this season. But you get a 25 year old Beal under a good contract that can work with Harden? You have to do it.

    I don't think Beal will be moved, but if he IS available, I would be super aggressive if I was Morey. The same aggressiveness that was shown with Jimmy Butler.

    If an "impact" move can't be made then a GOOD DEPTH move is also welcome. Like JaMychal Green etc.

    I *will not* accept any BS "luxury tax savings" type trades giving up a 1st. Nope.

    And that info about House....that does not surprise me. He is a cost controlled asset. Look at him as a late 1st round pick type of player.

    Wanted to pull out this comment from Cod's post so it doesn't get lost.

    While true, he fits the profile of a long 3/4 that the Rockets need. He also can probably be had for next to nothing.

    could very well be a buyout candidate if the clips don't include him in another move by tomorrow

    You know, the eruption of Ilopango in modern-day El Salvador some 1500 years ago generated an ash-cloud fallout that blanketed 4,000 square miles waist-deep in ash. Subsequent climate change and agricultural failures likely led to the abandonment of Teotihuacan.

    So certainly Morey can pluck Beal from the fallout of the Wizards disaster?

    As a buyout candidate for bench depth. Sure, why not.
