    What is intriguing?

    Motiejunas
    White
    Lamb
    Asik
    Parsons
    Lowry or Lin or both

    For the 1st time Morey gas put 3 very high ceiling players on the team. Hell yes I would tune in to league pass every night to watch this team grow. It would take a couple of years but there multiple players on that list with a chance to develope into all stats and all should be very food starters within a year or two.

    No, that looks like a 9-10th place team for the next 3-4 years. There is zero point in signing Asik and Lin in a rebuilding effort, since rebuilding takes years. Their contracts will expire before our rookies even develop.

    Seriously though, Lowry was just as good over a longer time period.

    It's all good fellas.

    What a disastrous off-season for us.

    Yep. At least for the next couple of years. Thats why they call it revuilding. But once players like White, Lamb and Motiejunas mature they could be an annual 50+ win team.

    And about contracts expiring, we will own all of their bird rights.

    You can get rid of the thirty year olds, but dragic is only 26 and he was our best player. He could have been part of the youth movement and now it seems the rockets are in a downward spiral.

    Next season, we wont have to intentionally tank, the rockets will be one of the worst teams in the west.

    It's looking that way. Believe me, I want this team to suck for a few years and rebuild. But it appears that Morey had some bizarre plan in place to go after Dwight Howard(or at least trade up to a much higher pick in the draft) and ended up with nothing. There doesn't seem to be any fallback plan. Unless of course the plan all along was to sabotage this roster so that the team would end up being no better than 20-25 wins. If that was Morey's goal, then mission accomplished. But he better know what the next step in the process is.

    Our so called Dragon turned out to be a money hungry snake.

    This is disappointing, but this signals a true rebuild and that is more plausible than the Dwight Howard scenario.

    LOL.. If Dragic and Lowry were on the market right now.. Lowry would make significantly more


    If Morey tried to include Dragic in a trade with the KIngs for the 5th pick( the kings would laugh and hang up the phone)

    Regardless of this pre-concieved notion in your head, Lowry is the better player and has been since Dragic got here, if he wasnt he Dragic would have been starting from day 1

    Were better off money wise, Lowry is a cheaper contract and a better player, offense is equal but Lowrys D is better.

    Right, that's why 4/34 was apparently 'too rich' for the Rockets - because their initial offer exceeded that.
