Are you kidding? Morey would trade Brewer's garbage contract to any sucker team with cap space and a conditional 2nd that we would never get. Alas, will it happen?

That's very tempting. Especially since Atlanta is allegedly offering #12 for a pick in the low teens plus a quality rotation player. I'd think Ariza and #22 could get it done.
He played in 130 of a possible 132 games before his most recent injury. By season start, he will have almost a year of rehab and strength training. I aint worried.

Rose had a year of rehabbing his knee too but look at him know. I know everyone heals differently after injures and it is hard to judge what will happen in the future.

Ibaka would be nice fit next to D-Mo but who will play 3-D wing for the Rockets? Those kind of players don't just grow on trees. And please don't say Batum, he's not going anywhere.
Pacers already got Teague and now Young? It's be nice if the rockets would be this aggressive and actually pull the trigger on deals
