    Morey did go after him before because hit fits that stretch 4 PF that he longs for bmd. He might not be good defensively but he can rebound and knock down that 3 and he could post up some. Plus he will back up Dmo.

    Sure, you gotta be bold. When (ok, if) this bunch hits its stride then last year all over again is a possibility. But, wait, there's more. IMO the Rox, as well as many other teams, are two injuries away (and Father Time who is a real mutha) from real Parade possibilities. I do not want either guy hurt (the old guys can get old anytime they want, however) but life (basketball) does happen.

    These Rockets are good enough, if intense enough, to do some damage. However, GSW, SAS and CC are too good at this point not to be rigid roadblocks.

    Just curious - - who wants to bet against OKC catching fire?

    The refs are idiots. Markieff was just trying to match up with Otto Porter for the rebound, Hollis and Otto kept switching. Markieff was calm and everything and they gave him a T...

    i'm hesitant about giving up brewer though. we need that boost from him. it's still early in the season.

    i would give up montrezl+kj+jones to try and get it done...

    The problems with this team are more structural than talent, the talent is there, but man, i'm not sure how you can watch us and then some other teams and not see how horrible our defensive structure is.

    Jones is completely oblivious to the pick and roll, but the wings, and this includes Ariza as well as Harden look like they have no idea where to go on rotations from the weak side.

    As I thought BREWER is not going to get traded for Morris and Phoenix can do miles better than his toxic contract if they trade.

    It's 8 mill/yr for 3 years for someone who is playing below replacement.

    His career numbers show that he is worse than he was with us last year. That being said, he's doing ok tonight

    Looks like jones + Brewer on 15th


    Our latest Son of Weekend Dime via Stein Line Live is predictably filled with tons of trade talk. SLL linkage: https://t.co/tHDPCIWOkD

    Plenty of time for Terrence to come up with some sort of other weird injury.

    Certainly plenty of time for those two players to have such a trade on their brains, so Morey will have to pull out the, "We are absolutely not shopping you" b.s.'isms. (Morey to self: "Truth is, we already shopped you. You're on layaway......AND YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW IT. BU-WA-HA-HA-HA!")

    I would make this trade easily

    Kieff is tough and won't shy away from going against good competition. He's in a ****ty situation like TY so his #s are down. Hopefully clearing out Brewer would make room for KJ and Thornton to get consistent minutes.

    Still don't know what the hell to do with Lawson.

    Yeah, it's starting to sound inevitable.....like the trade is already agreed to and we're just waiting until we can trade Brewer. I'd prefer Teletovic, but my guess is Phoenix is only willing to take Brewer if we take Morris.

    Beverley /
    Harden / Thornton
    Ariza
    DMo / Morris
    Howard / Capela
