    Exactly what is Morris thinking LOL, he won't get any PT in OKC.

    Maybe he was just stringing Rox along for trading away his bro before.

    That was my first reaction. We are kinda a perfect team for him to shine while OKC already has similar bigs that performs better than him.

    Remember when DeAndre Jordan & Markieff Morris were "locks" to be Rockets?
    Remember when the Rockets were saving their MLE in the summer for buyout candidates?

    And still our GM couldnt convince him yet Presti once again delivered. He convinced hell beant on Lakers PG to stay with a statpadder too. Who did Morey sign lately? MCW? Ennis? Melo? Iso Joe?

    Clutch typically doesn’t chime in on these “insider” posts, even if to discredit someone. He has, however, confirmed insiders here - when they actually are insiders.

    For you guy information

    Thunder exceed tax line by $18 million and will pay luxury tax $58 million this season.

    If Morey acquires Tobias Harris this month, Tilman could pay $58 million luxury tax next season.

    and Ty Lawson and whole bunch others I don't even remember their names. Who's that Mavs guy ... Brandon Wright

    It's frustrating that we take one step forward then three steps back. In the end, it's the long term result that matters and there is no second best in this sport.

    But Tilman and his fans on this forum told me no one is crazy enough to pay the repeater tax. Hmm...

    Our GM made the deal with Presti that delivered James Harden. Bye.

    Honestly would rather have House than some malcontent with a screwed up neck. This money that no one wants to take from us, can that be used as a signing bonus to get House back here?

    Morris payroll at minimum is $653K if sign today. It is too much for Tilman, he is not interested in paying tax.

    The Thunder want to win more than the Rockets do. Sad to see.

    If you saw Morris play this year you wouldn’t be too upset but the Rockets gotta do something. The players don’t even seem to be panicking much so maybe they just really believe it all changes when Clint comes back and when they inevitably bring back house.
