    Are any of those guys available for us now? I know you have some insights to it. Or what other veteran PGs that aren't in the league playing right now do you think could also step in and give us 10-12 minutes a night of good PG play?

    Morey knows how screwed we are. Hopefully most of y'all are coming around to it as well.

    A useless statement. This will undermine the players even more. Hard work has to be done without involving the media.

    You're correct, I was throwing out so many twos through that first sentence that I forgot to put second instead of first.

    That's still quite a bit imo for an aging 3 point specialist.

    When a major part of your game is reliant on other people hitting shots
    and those folx are not hitting shots. . . .it will kill your stats

    It is a small sample size and he has been in and out of the line up, plus the quality of play around him has been poor and he has had to play more minutes. I haven't seen anything from him that makes me believe the bottom is dropping out on him. His age and injury situation has been known, and quite frankly the Rockets have done a TERRIBLE job this season preserving Paul and Harden and Tucker.

    Paul is playing over 34 minutes a game, PJ Tucker is playing almost 36 minutes a game and James Harden is playing 37 minutes a game....... that is all a result of terrible depth.

    Yes a few of them have been made available in the trade market. Other ones have not.

    I don't think there is much available outside of the NBA right now.

    I hope that the Rockets attempt to get Tony Parker. He has a $5,000,000 contract next year that his employer may try to move on from. Perhaps Chriss and another piece. Parker would be able to start on occasion and give solid back up minutes. The Rockets could spread the 96 minutes in the back court out well between Paul/Harden/Gordon and Parker.

    4. The owner is not yet sure whether to continue forward with this team hoping it can make the WCF again, or to just cut his losses and begin shedding salary ie. luxury tax

    Agreed, you did a better job of articulating what I was getting at in #3.

    100% agree. Chris Paul's impact is a fraction of what it was last year. He's not as good defensively, he's far worse offensively in terms of efficiency, volume, and running the entire offense. Some of it is due to the fact that the roster is hot garbage, but a lot of it is on Paul.

    Not good because he has a limited shelf-life at this point. I don't think this is the cliff, but the cliff is coming (no State Farm pun intended)

    the truth is we want to get better the cost to do so is out of our price range at the moment. teams with quality players are all in contention for the playoffs with the nba not being so top heavy this year.

    the rockets put it all on this season and last. paul, melo, mcw, and the young guys. we do not have quality rotation players producing.

    i really hope he is not suggesting he be fired if tillman is thinking about doing something.

    morey is the reason we rebuilt without tanking. he is an amazing gm, best in the league. we lost tracy, yao, and dwight and never finished a season below 500.

    100% all of this. Just like CP augments Harden.....we need someone to augment CP. A REAL playable backup PG.

    I am a Morey fan. I give him the benefit of the doubt. But it is crazy to me they would invest in CP and not give him the proper support to utilize CP's best talents over the long haul.

    I would be very pleased with this. Parker can still play the D. Rose role. Will they agree to it?
