    These GMs are stupid. If someone offers you Aaron Brooks and draft picks? You jump on it right away if your goal is to trade for something. I think they made a huge mistake of not taking that while its still a offer from the Rockets that they are willing to do. Thats why these organizations are losing organizations perrrenially. They make no sense in anything they do. A team say here is this mid 20s in age guy who scores nearly 20 points a game on a winning team? He replaces your only 18 points a game guy last year who wants to leave? You get draft picks and solid depth with him and some youth at the powerforward and maybe some potential there? They are still thinking about it? Even draft picks also?? These guys have something aginst doing business with the Rockets and Morey or they are plain stupid if that is our offer. I dont even want it to be our offer anymore. Thats something you offer for Carmello Anthony or Granger. Two guys who might want to play here and are not injured over the last few years like Chris Paul. Anyways. Phillie still thinks Ariza and draft picks and alot of other good players from our depth chart is not enough? So you can see where these teams are headed. They are not realistic and will get stuck with these guys expiring like Toronto did and like Cleveland and then? They will get nothing. Like always from losing organizations who ask for too much and end up getting worse deals than originally offered once those teams come to their senses and realize they are offering too much up for 2 year rentals. I hope they choose the Portland offer so they can get Oden from the overthinking process that goes with that. That should go very well. Oden retires next year.

    I think Morey should start to down grade all his offers to everyone. He is offering too much now. Pull Aaron off the boards and show him respect and say we want to resign you and build around him a little.

    Knicks said if its Paul they would do DG.

    Also, why is it were the only ones you got offering 2 picks. Kinda unfair. If Dallas was offering 2 picks that would be quite a nice pick up and staying competive at the same time. Especially all expings and good names *at least for expirings)

    Maybe? Thats why they should ask Aaron and his agent about his intentions. If its not a problem? We might should worry about that too.

    David Andersen is getting paid more than our starting pg AB.. nuff said :(

    But I guess his payday should be coming soon.. and he deserves it, I hope we don't trade him, instead get someone in a diff position... i don't have a problem with his upcoming contact, Lowry and Scola got one, why can't brooks? We can clear space be trading/cutting other people.. not brooks
