    Exactly. And Lee still might sign with us later.

    Martin would be in deal to get Gordon ideally.

    Lee was a good backup SG, nothing more than that. Lamb can be a good backup SG as a rookie and develop into the starter. Just chill out. We can't keep everybody all the time. Gotta let some guys go in order to make room for others. None of us knows what went on in DM's office today. Some other move could be coming that required us to make this move. Let's just see what happens.

    Lee is not a starter. So I like the move and it's gives us other options .

    first of all lets all calm down. Why do we have to figure out what every move means why cant we just chill and see what it leads to .. also how can you guarentee that gordon will come to houston since he is a restrited FA, he can sign with us and still not be able to come here

    Yep makes perfect sense really.

    He'd fit in really well there. Man imagine adding him to that defense?!?

    Get Rose back healthy and Lee makes that team much much better.

    Morey trades Lamb

    55% of Clutchfans goes: Lamb was never really good, i think he would have been a BUST

    I surely hope Martin's attitude (contract year, right?) and shoulder (did he get arthroscopic surgery?) are 100%, and Lamb's ROY material. We just got worse, defensively, at the 2. Those two are gonna have to shoot light-out. Where's Iggy?

    Best of luck to Lee.

    The Bulls can noe match Asik and are free to sign CLee without having to worry about the Rockets matching.

    Yea, agreed. I'm assuming the Bulls aren't gonna match Rockets' offer to Asik.

    Courtney was a great move. Seems like we are giving up a ton this off season.
