    Which user on hoopshype or realgm.net told you Joe Ingles is in trade talks? Joe Ingles is probably Utah's 3rd best player right now behind Mitchell and Gobert.

    This is why the CP3 contract was stupid, because he will always miss a lot of games for his knees, hamstring, groin, etc.. Gordon always' misses games as well, for his knee and back problems. Nene was useless all preseason and the start of the season, and has always been a play part time guy.

    That doesn't leave much margin for other common injuries, even if they aren't season ending for Harden or Clint. This is a wake up call that needs to get Morey out of sleep mode and into full steam ahead acquisition mode ASAP!!!!!

    Is Montumbo still healthy? How about signing Brandon Wright? Oh man, Nene is going to step up, but for how long?

    What is proper forum etiquette in this situation? Is a "like" thanks for the info even if it is depressing as all get out?

    It will be an emergency when we lose next 5 out of 6 games. I feel people are not serious about this right now.

    Honestly since signing with the Rockets, Gordon has been healthy (based on his past games played with the Clippers/Hornets/Pelicans). I agree though, having Gordon and Paul on the same team and expecting both players to stay healthy is pretty darn tricky.

    It's too bad we missed out on Tyson Chandler, we definitely could have used him here.

    Time to work your magic Morey! Or high lottery here we come, we could have compensated somewhat if we had a healthy Paul/Gordon but it's doubtful that we won't be in trouble when we face teams who have legit PFs and Centers.

    Rockets get Noah Vonleh

    Kings get Courtney lee + Chriss + 1st round pick(HOU) + 2nd round pick(HOU) =Kings get a 1st and a 2nd for taking C. Lee's contract for next year.

    Knicks get Zach Randolf =Knicks get rid of C. Lee's contract for next year giving them more cap space for next summer.

    Or

    Chriss + 1st pick+ 2nd pick for Vonleh =depends on if they rather have the picks or the capspace

    Isnt Robin Lopez about to be bought out? Im throwing up in my mouth a little bit as I type this, but we need someone who can rebound. Losing our only viable rebounding threat will be painful to deal with for 2 months.

    Rockets should sign Zhou Qi back to a two-way or 10 day deal. If he can show what he’s got then cut/trade Melo and sign him till the end of the year.
