Rockets trade D-Mo, Thornton to Pistons for first round pick

Can McDaniels please get a shot now?

 

Not a bad haul for someone who can't stay on the court and an RFA. I'm so done with this season so it's whatever.

Oh and LOL at Jones lasting longer here than DMo, he prob will get traded too though.

 

Suck for Simmons?

 

Morey should have done this on draft night.

DET pick for DMo and essentially Dekker?

We would have picked Winslow!

Self-loathing Rocket fans at peak levels.. Clutchfans will be unbearable for weeks!

 

Just to pile onto how crappy this deal, the 2016 Draft is soooo weak.

 

I'm sure his Facebook friend will post him the details. :grin:

 

You can add several other names to that 911 list LOL. Shows you everyone is expendable. I'm sure this isn't Moreys only move and maybe they know something about DMO's back that we don't know since many posters in here are experts on backs.

 

Not bad...

 

How does a potential lottery 1st for non star player that's a free agent this summer look awful ???????

You guys thought Dmo was going to get 3 1st round picks or something ???

 

:grin::grin::grin: I would do a 180 degree turn and tank :grin:

 

Morey's favourite..he's a moron or Leslie is pulling some strings

 

Its called a salary matcher.

Did you just register your account today?

 

Pretty much. I'm all for tanking and stock piling picks but even then the chance we can get better return is low.

We missed the playoffs 3 years in a row and got consecutive 14th picks who we used for Pat, Morris, White. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Morey ended up trading everyone of those guys for a 2nd rounder + bag of chips.

 

A weak draft class and its not going to be lottery.
Pistons will shoot up in the standings.

 

The pick will be at least 17. Most likely 18-20
Bulls suck. We suck. Portland is worse than Detroit. Utah hasn't found one pg. Charlotte is bipolar. Indy is tired. Miami may be left without one pg.

See the draft and tell me which player at around 20 will be dmo with Morey's draft record.

 

And that's different than the last 2-3 months...how?

 

Right now I'm completely ruling out a rebuild, you don't want to do this when Harden is your short-tempered franchise player (he would probably get fed up after a season and demand a trade).

This pick will 100% be packaged for a deal tonight or at draft day. Either something bigger like Dwight+Ariza+1st for Mozgov/Love or something minor like Gasol or Gibson for 1st pick+Jones+Brewer, etc.

 

Why Marcus? He was one of 4 people that could score on his own on the team.......man. Trading Dmo sucks too. This season has just been awful descison after awful decision.
