    He had surgery last April in his knee, and it was reported here yesterday that he may need surgery again.

    I suppose this has all come down to a system philosophy, it always bothered me that Clint had no jumper or outside shot and of course I knew he was likely never going to develop one but man losing that length and athleticism around the basket is worrisome to me tbh

    I really love this trade. I HIGHLY doubt Morey is done. There are still assets that can be traded.

    Let's hope it doesn't become a joke in April.

    Take it, we will get destroyed by teams in the playoffs that have bigs, we have no chance anymore - we are further away from winning a ring....Harden's window is SHUT TIGHT.

    Lemmings will follow for regular season wins...but we got worse.

    RedNinetyFour tweeted at 12:05... exactly the same time this was posted:

    "Conspiracy Theory: Mike has been holding out Hartenstein so that Gersson wouldn't know he's actually good now. Hartenstein will be unleashed now."

    I guess I'm not the only one hoping Hartenstein is a secret. It's also a little more believable than mine.

    Put me at the top then for now... because..in a vacuum, this sucks big time.

    That said, I'm assuming Daryl's plan includes getting mega value at need positions (deals/buyouts in place)..for next to nothing.

    So, we'll see..Let's see this puzzle come together.

    No.

    The Rockets have another #1 to deal if they want. The acquired a #2 and now are 6-7 million under the tax so they can add more players and they have trade exceptions.

    They won’t be making another deal for an all star but the plan all along was to target players still under their rookie contracts and under paid veterans. They still have the flexibility and assets to do that.

    House is averaging double doubles playing dunker and screener/diver.

    And hes a midget.

    Same with Faried. Same with Harty.

    This system makes playing 5 spot very easy on offense. The hard work is on D.

    Nook can you confirm whose team is the second?

    Because if it the Nuggets' then it is as good as air.

    And there you have it, folks... This means the trade definitely, absolutely improved the team and we'll at least get to the WCF again.

    The report is crap. Covington has played in 48 out of a possible 49 games on a 15-34 team. The only game he’s missed this season was due to a death in his family. If he was seriously injured, he’d be sitting out games for a bad Timberwolves’ team.
