    We are angry at Morey for trading the Motiejunas of our fantasies, but I can't see the Motiejunas of real life ever becoming the man from our dreams.

    At least DMo fans can say, "See, this means TJones isn't even worth a 1st rounder."

    Well it's obvious another trade is happening but kiss the season goodbye. I don't' see this team making the playoffs and that is not a bad thing!

    I really don't know what you guys were expecting. He was always going to get traded if we could get some value in return, and we were never going to get GREAT value in return.

    D Mo didn't even know that he was going to be traded after it happened, so you can throw that theory out the window..

    Our team is CHEAP - won't pay for a guy who has played in 14 of the last 83 games.

    Perhaps he can get back a bag of doritos.

    WE GOT NO ****ING VALUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    We didn't want to have to pay the guy, this is 100% a move to save money a peak inside how CHEAP the Rockets org is, and how they are about MONEY and not about winning.

    Because a draft pick will be another 3 years away from where DMo is today.

    This is a KICK right in the nuts of every single KNOWLEDGABLE Rockets fan....we are not winning with Morey or Les ever.

    UGH!

    No, Morey has decided that neither Jones or DMO are worthy of being a starting power forward getting paid next year, and he is right.

    The fact that he got the Pistons pick for a player that has missed 50% of the last two seasons, has had a back surgery, has never been good enough to start and is going to be a free agent is impressive.

    I never believed DMO was the one to save us. That was bullcrap.

    A bad trade is a bad trade. This trade is godawful not just bad.

    If Morey was a draft savant and IF this draft was amazing it could be excused.
    NOT with Moreys draft record and this **** draft.

    A bad trade is a bad trade and there is no reason to be happy about it.
