    except that Kevin Martin has more value for Brew. Minny just got rid of Brew and they want time for their young wings. Brew is not only useless to them he is NEGATIVE.

    All those trades are mainly about Brew.

    Obviously. Let's trade Dwight and win 25 instead.

    We won 50+ games last year I was under the impression that is what you guys wanted for us to win. Secondly harden may not have improved but that's not the conversation. The conversation is about him being the major problem on this team. He's not he is who he's is and were lucky to have him Morey needs to find better help than a regressing Dwight Howard along with Lawson, tj and brewer who seem to have forgotten how to play basketball.

    thank you cyber. I needed this.

    Lou Will is definitely the one I would want of those three.

    Makes sense that Harden is the problem. Hopefully we can get that fixed. I still haven't given up on this team in terms of talent. Just need to fix the damn attitude problem.

    We will win a lot more with Dwight gone, as proven last year when he missed 41 games.

    Lol this team can't defend so they are looking at more people who can't defend?

    Thornton is our bench scorer. It's not is fault JB is to stupid to play him.

    I see what you're saying, but getting home-court for the playoffs is the first goal(Morey has stated this multiple times), and you're going to need at LEAST 50+ to do that

    That was then, this is now.

    Sure, it'd still be nice, but the way this team has gone so far, Morey's probably looking for good deals to set us up for the long run while keeping us in the playoff hunt. If either happens it'll be a blessing (not that I'm one to mix religion and sports, mind you, except when watching the Rockets these days and muttering, "JEE-suuuuuuuuuus," over and over).

    I suggested at the very start of the season that we needed to trade Howard. That was an unpopular suggestion. Not so now people are starting to realize.

    If we could get a good pick nd roll going then it would not be so bad.

    D'Angelo Russell has been stepping it up, averaging 19.5 pts and 5 asts ever since Byron Scott took the handcuffs off.

    Lou Williams could be had for cheap IMO.

    We were 27-12 without Dwight, 29-14 with him last year.

    We clearly had other guys step up in his absence, namely D-Mo and Josh Smith. But to say we're better without Dwight? C'mon.
