    Me too but it's unlikely to happen. Milsap isn't readily attainable for us.

    I'd rather a few solid players than 1 star player. Rockets already have 2 star players.

    The 3rd wheel of a star trio has to take a back seat anyway... so you aren't getting his full ability. Sign somebody else instead who is 80% as good as that 3rd wheel star and get the same production out of him for less money.

    Sign another solid player and you've got a great starting 5.

    Yes! Bring Lowry back! I would love this if we struck out on a big name free agent.

    I'm on record as saying LeBron nor Melo will sign here, so Lowry and Milsap would be goat

    Is it possible to go off the record on a public message board?

    Yeah, this is obviously based on if we fail to acquire LBJ or Melo

    I think Asik plus filler(s) can be tempting to Atlanta, they move Horford back to his natural and preferred 4 position. Asik-Horford front court is beastly.

    For better or worse, the Rockets clearly are.

    The Rockets have to resign Parsons. This offseason is there last chance to bring home a better than average player in free agency. Parsons willl get somewhere from 10-12milliom a year.

    So Cyberx is there any NBA player out there that thinks highly of the Rockets according to your sources? I'm just really not sure about the motive to mention that pretty much every player you mention has expressed their personal opinions to you or your source about the Rockets personnel. Not pointing fingers at you but potentially wondering about where your source is coming from on this topic.

    I'd like you to expand your thoughts on this notion a little bit more so we can understand better where you and your sources are coming from. We all know that players are going to go where they can A. Win and B. Get paid. What Morey has setup for the next incoming star should be everything a star wants in their next destination. Love Harden/Howard or not, they are that incoming stars best chance at A.

    I don't understand the motive from the player to bash them publicly. Other teams front offices I understand but not if it's coming directly from pretty much every player you mention unless Harden and Howard are just that terrible of human beings. Thanks.
