    If Morey doesn't make a trade I willl be highly pissed. Thanks man. Year after year you play with Rockets fan emotions by always being in the mix for a top 5 pick. Thanks dude.

    That's what I'm thinking if we keep him. Also when he said we didn't have a "scoring forward", I'm pretty sure he was talking about scoring from the perimeter at the 3 which is only slapping Bud in the face but who cares

    perfect response right here. morris will be a great addition and for sure i see Scola out of here by the end of summer.

    but could DM be using morris as a potential trade piece? i wouldnt be surprised

    Looks like Scola could be on the way out in a deal.

    What was the Rockets biggest problem last year? Defending the paint, especially against taller players. Morris seems like a solid player, works hard, will contribute.

    But he doesn't do anything to address the Rockets biggest problem...

    Do they have to say this about every player they select?

    I'm just glad I won't have to spell check "Markieff" in next season's game threads.

    Daryl Morey: My chief concern, is knocking down the unemployment rate for PF's.

    He's not the tpyical tweener that can't play either position well...i was mostly refering to his height for a PF. Leonard is a nice player, but i think Morris has more upside and is a more complete player. He should be able to play the 3 AND 4, so i don't really see a reason to trade him. He can back up Bud, hell he may just take his spot at the three, and then play some 4 when we need to stretch the defense. Nice option to have. My guess is Hill will be traded.
