    There is only one ball, I don't see why folks can't understand that.

    They both want to start, there can be ONLY ONE !

    Interesting to see Les give Morris some love, maybe he still has a future.

    Lowry is the better player, why should he be a backup

    Hyprocisy at its finest, when has a Lowry ever mentioned he was MAD.

    Also if Lowry even mentioned a peep of wanted to be traded, you and everybody else here would have been flipping mad(for good reason)


    where are your sources, i dont get why everybody is hating on Lowry for. I dont get it. This guy has been nothing but professional for us. Unlike Aaron Brooks, who sulked through his contract year.. bitter

    Mr. Alexander is clueless.... so he will be angry most of times

    I used to be in favor of tanking, but now I wouldn't mind a complete rebuild. If the Rockets strike out this summer, I wouldn't even be mad if they traded Lowry, Scola, and Martin, and also let Camby, Dalembert, Dragic, and Lee walk. We could take on some ugly contracts to meet the cap floor limit while getting some nice picks out of it, too.

    I'd even keep my season tickets to watch the young guys get some burn.

    I am in favor of your opinion. Dragic could be special... but I want some special talent in the draft because they would come relatively cheap from the beginning, and we wouldn't go through losing sleep over overspending for a free agent......sorts of agendas

    It would suck to lose out on Dragic, but in the long run it could be beneficial to the franchise. Start over from scratch.

    We HAVE to get rid of Martin, and I'm saying that as someone that thinks he's a decent player.

    Anyone that knows my position knows that Ive always been high on Martin well before he came to Houston, but his attitude this season has been downright terrible. He still hasn't gotten over the whole Gasol trade thing. Its been a full season now. Its time to move on.

    Martin still has another year left on his deal here in Houston and there's a good chance he might have to play here next season at least for the first half.

    He's pretty dumb for not promoting himself better. His attitude and the way he approaches next season will financially impact his last major contract in a tremendous fashion. Just sad to watch someone his age be this mentally weak. You had a bad year, but its time to pick yourself up and work hard to get back where you were. Despite what your feeling inside. Time to grow up and be a pro buddy.

    That is a good point. Hopefully we will sign Dragic and then trade Lowry?

    That would be tankrooo to the 10 power. Might be the only thing that might work for this organization in the long run.

    The status quo is not acceptable.

    lol you just found a way to cleverly disguise you favoring tanking. that's what tanking is.

    =/

    I'm starting to agree. get these old veterans like parsons and dragic all out of here. I'm surprised they don't need walkers. rebuild!

    Dragic took Lowrys spot the same way Lowry took ABs spot during his injury. Now everyone wants to trade Lowry and resign Dragic. Screw that let him walk we almost already traded him once this season. Dont you think he knows that......just saying darren collison 2.0 Lowry was just getting back from injury

    All Lowry does is b**** and mown no matter what he is doing.. i would guarantee dragic comes back not just because he is the better point guard, but because he is McHale's agent's roommate..... aka Billy Duffy... which everybody overestimates... ***** Portland

    honestly we gotta stop with our total fetish with 6'9 small forwards. before it was shane battier, now we are betting the house and the land on parsons and morris. melo and pierce are both around 6'7 by draftexpress.com measurements.

    Battier is 6'8". Anyway, I don't get your point at all. Who's betting the house on either player?
