    We shall see how true that is. The trade market was low for him, are you actually going to suggest that the FA market for him will be competitive? As bird right owners Houston holds more cards in their hands than the rest.

    So we've pissed off and will lose Dwight this summer for nothing

    And traded D Mo for garbage.

    Great job, Morey.

    Morey needs to be sacked. The way this has panned out has been shocking.

    This may be part of Morey's master plan. If we don't make the playoffs, we'll have two first round draft picks and plenty of cap space to go after Durant.

    Unfortunately DMO wasn't going to help them this season or he for sure couldn't be counted with his back issues.

    With the salary cap going up, I'm sure some team will be desperate enough to offer him good money.

    Only way I don't see Howard leaving is if Morey lures a 3rd star, otherwise he won't put up with the chemistry issues and trouble here.

    So now we are hoping for a miracle scenario where Durant picks the Rockets and no one offers Dwight the max so we can keep him.

    People need to start using sarc tags when they post about chasing Durant. Because I can't believe anyone on here seriously believes we're gonna be players in free agency this offseason.

    He may walk anyway and it may not matter but hope they were working with Dwight/Dan despite them saying they weren't asking for a trade and what not. Otherwise, tried hard to trade him and weren't successful.

    I guess we're supposed to watch him walk in the summer? [​IMG]

    Didn't move Ty Lawson. Didn't move Terrence Jones.

    Same team minus D-MO(who wasn't playing anyways) and Thornton(who played one night and sat the next aka yo-yo'd minutes). The more things change, the more they stay the same.

    Come out and see the Rockets in the 2nd half!....for what reason again?
