No Trade: Dwight Howard staying with Rockets past the trade deadline

Is Murray sending the team a hint?

"You are who you are, I am sticking with you guys, get together and start playing some serious bball!"

 

He's like a fullback with a basketball!

 

One last shot at what?

This team isn't winning the championship or getting close to it.

Dwight will be reunited with Parsons next season. Rockets will be left sucking up to FAs that will not sign with team anyways. Does not look good for the Rockets. Still hoping for a late trade to go through.

 

Why is it that people constantly attack the messenger like this? Look around you. Look at this season, its common sense. Barkley didn't even go out on a limb here.

 

Worst season ever and worst trade line eveeerrr!!!

My only hope got trade it today we better miss the playoffs .

 

The excuses are getting highly elaborate. But sadly, Morey will probably say something like this tomorrow.

 

yup
"look, we're too cheap to hire a real coaching staff and instill a real nba level system. we wont be defending anyone but we can still score. so just score harder with more energy and dont lose and we'll win most of the games. ask dwight if he wants to practice threes. morey out."

 

Yeah, like he hasn't been saying that since firing McHale and look where the team is currently.

 

LOL memphis even got a first for Jeff Green.

Then why trade the third best player on the team for nothing?

This front office has lost all focus and direction

 

Here comes the passive aggressive D12 show, plays like crap, but smiling through it all. While his game deteriorates into nothing. James try's to score 50 points a game while turning it over 10 times a game. Nobody even attempts at playing D, we might as well go watch games at Fonde!!!

 

Can you blame him? He wanted max. He aint getting it. He wanted bird rights to go somewhere and I assume that can't happen now.

 

"I'm confident we'll be able to sign Durant in the off-season and continue to contenders next season" -Moreh tomorrow.

 

Yeah, heard that line before.

 

Terrible. Didn't move Lawson, Brewer, Jones, KJ or Howard. Failed deadline, sick of this team, Morey sucks.

Okay now that I got that out.

Lawson has no value and will expire nothing we can do about that, Brewer and KJ can be dealt in the off season no rush to move them.

So i'm fine with those 3 players.

We made 2 clear mistakes IMO.

1. Not getting ANY value for Howard, we could have at least gotten a 1st out of him He will be gone this off season.
2. Not trading Jones, we could at least gotten a 2nd out of him. He will be gone this off season

Seriously why the hell didn't Morey trade Howard and Jones?

I also would have preferred to miss the playoff which we might still do, so we can get our 1st this year, trading Howard and Jones would have likely solidified that. Now we will fight for 8th seed, get eliminated(probably swept), loose our 1st and then loose Howard, and Jones who we could have at least gotten a 1st and a 2nd out of.

So we missed out on 3 picks, 1 lotto, 1 mid 1st, and 1 2nd basically... in my eyes. That sucks ass.

But I guess we can still miss the playoffs and get our pick...

And who cares about a 2nd? We can probably just buy one with cash, + Jones is probably worth more to us then a 2nd just since we traded Dmo and NEED a PF to play.

So i'm really just upset we didn't get a damn thing out of Howard and increase our chances at missing the playoffs.

 

This is exactly how I feel. We had a chance today to either get better now or for the future. We did neither.

 

Tell me why I should reup my seasons? Sick of getting my hopes up then BAM! something else happens to strike me down.
