This is the time of the year to be dream-casting trades. But Morey mostly delivers little in February. What is the name of our disappointment this time around?
Cristiano Felicio, Tim Frazier, Richaun Holmes, Boban Marjanovic, "Pooper" Mario Hezonja, Namanja Bjelica
The bad: February 20, 2013: Traded Cole Aldrich, Toney Douglas, Patrick Patterson and cash to the Sacramento Kings for Francisco Garcia, Tyler Honeycutt and Thomas Robinson. February 21, 2013: Traded Marcus Morris to the Phoenix Suns for a 2013 2nd round draft pick (Isaiah Canaan was later selected). . February 24, 2011: Traded Shane Battier and Ishmael Smith to the Memphis Grizzlies for DeMarre Carroll, Hasheem Thabeet and a future 1st round draft pick. The good: February 19, 2009: As part of a 3-team trade, the Houston Rockets traded Rafer Alston to the Orlando Magic; the Memphis Grizzlies traded Kyle Lowry to the Houston Rockets; the Orlando Magic traded Brian Cook to the Houston Rockets; and the Orlando Magic traded Adonal Foyle, Mike Wilks and a 2009 1st round draft pick (DeMarre Carroll was later selected) to the Memphis Grizzlies. February 24, 2011: Traded Aaron Brooks to the Phoenix Suns for Goran Dragic and a 2011 1st round draft pick (Nikola Mirotic was later selected).
The TMAC for Kevin Martin trade was pretty good. But yeah - we trade every deadline but never anything major (especially if we seem to be in the playoffs). The big splashes come in the offseason.
Wouldn't your equation there mean that your disappointment feeling is still better than the reality feeling but less than expectation? IE 3 = 6/2 Fix your math. #nerd
I believe that nothing of significance will take place in Houston. Most teams will probably hold on to their players. Philly may hold on to Okafor with Embiid's latest unfortunate injury.
Based on this equation, if our expectation = 10 and Morey delivers a .5, we get 20! Let's get those expectations sky high!
A real nerd would of said that if reality is ever set to 0 (neutral) it means your disappointment is undefined, which makes the whole formula not a function of expectations in the first place. Nerd.
