For those who think this trade deadline was a disappointment

I think something will still be announced.

 

another year of false hope.

 

how so

 

Tanking this year was never going to happen, so people need to let that idea go.

The real heavy lifting will come this offseason. It will be total team makeover.

And whatever doesn't get taken care of in the offseason will undoubtedly go down at the deadline.

Provided Stern doesn't intervene. *Snicker*

 

Noting immediately impact the offseason really. We actually have to take on Fisher's $4 mil also salary if he chooses to opt in.

 

I don't see these moves affect our post-season operations, as we basically merged 2 expirings into 1 in Camby, and sold a expiring in Jordan to get Fisher's contract for the next year and heavily protected 1st round pick.

On the other hand, these proven vets should give us a good boost for the playoff.

 

Funny that Rockets were looking for 1st round picks and now they made moves to make a run in the playoffs, doesn't make sense.

 

To Les, it makes sense.

 

dude, every year we set ourselves up for the next year ...but oh, next year, that's when we will be able to reposition the franchise.

The only person who thinks that we can trade our way into contention is Morey and Les. I do not. I want to rebuild through the draft.

I like the moves to help us get to the playoffs, and that could be fun, but we are still no where closer to putting ourselves in a position to build a real contender. we are just treading water ...like we always do. at some point you have to call it like it is. the strategy has been a falure up to this point, and we need to think about rebuilding the old fashioned way ...through the draft.

 

I am dissappointed, it seems more of the same "Hurry up and wait" stuff.

Why is Kmart still a Rocket, why was a declining Scola not flipped?

Where is the team headed?

 

Please do not get me excited for the summer that will never appear. Who is the big guy who will supposedly not go for our southern charm and big contract next? Morey needs to start early and send him flowers.

 

Basically the only thing that would have made you happy this season is to watch the Rockets lose every game and get a chance at the top pick? So tell us now, who you would pick with that selection that would turn our bottom of the league team around?

 

portland is done with trying to piece together a makeshift playoff team after their franchise player retires due to injures.

rockets should get the memo.

 

Yes that would make me happy as well.

I would draft Anthony Davis or harrison barnes.

Next.

 

We got a first round pick, y u mad?

 

anthony davis as the top pick is better than drafting 14 again and sending him to the d-league.. let me ask u this.. what has morey done that has made us better.. winning 40 games a year and drafting at 14 is greatness huh… so let's try the tanking way and see.. the rockets won 2 championships with who? oh thats right with the DRAFTED hakeem Olajuwon.. not the traded for hakeem.. we have to draft our star like dallas did and like we did with the Dream.. sorry but tanking must happen.. until morey can prove us wrong by doing it differently and succeeding then i'll stick to the way that has already netted us two rings..

 

Agree with the thought, but Dallas traded for their star on draft night for Tractor Taylor.

 

Awesome trade- Thabeet, Hill+Flynn for Camby+Fisher. Grade A. Would have game him an A PLUS if he included T-Will and Bud for Gerald Wallace.
