Morey says Rockets "have something up [their] sleeve"

If you bump old threads you're a Lurch.

 

"Up our sleeve" might not have been worth bumping this thread, but "up our risk profile" is. That line explains a lot of our current predicament. Last year's terrific run made some of us forget the "risk" part of the CP trade. That season was the payoff. The salary crunch we're in now, and the paucity of assets we can use in trade, are part of the price.
