    Would love to get DJ Agustin. Underrated PG on a friendly contract. I think it's like 8.5 million. Also played for UT like PJ Tucker. That would solve our backup PG problem. For the front court we could sign Josh Smith. Would love to get Nikola Vucevic or Kyle O'Quinn but we are stacked at the 5 already and I can see Shawn Long breaking into the rotation.

    DM did not "screw up" this situation. We didn't have pieces that NY was interested in plain and simple. Engineering 3 and 4 team trades is notoriously difficult. DM made a massive effort to improve the team without gutting the team which is exactly and precisely his job.

    He already gutted all our previous draft prospects, so yeah, maybe it wouldn't have been worth losing what was left for one guy. I just wish we could get another really good forward for this team.

    I think we had the pieces Gordon and ariza but Morey didn't have the balls to do it

    I can't wait to see if OKC goes further than us and see everyone that's is defending Morey for getting his ass whooped by Presti

    Has nothing to do with balls and everything to do with knowing that would have been idiotic and taking a huge step back.

    Leave it to a fake Rockets fan to enjoy looking forward to another team possibly being better than us. You are pathetic.

    It was probably Gordon and Capela they wanted which I suspect RA, EG and CC for Melo + scrubs or force us to take Noah is a trade 99% of this forum would not do. We had a very good team last year that beat OKC head to head and both teams are now better. We shall see.

    Josh Smith is a perfect Melo-light.

    Lmao at folks thinking CP3 will pass on a 5th year when he negotiated an age increase so he could be eligible. I'm more worried about our new owner deciding not to offer it due to a tax bill than I am of CP3 not wanting to stay here.

    We definitely need PF depth. Right now it's just Anderson. And no, Tucker and Moute are not real PFs and D'antoni will not play the rookies any significant minutes.

    I am not necessarily advocating Josh Smith. I just love an excuse to use that Meme. :D

    Would it be possible to get Brook Lopez from the Lakers? Don't think we can get Boogie or Marc but at the trade deadline Lopez can be huge for us.

    Not a damn thing...after seeing what OKC gave up to get Melo and PG I'm pretty ticked at what we had to give to get CP3
