    Lin better be signed if this trade happens. It better be contingent on Lin being signed and not being matched. This is getting pretty ridiculous.

    Serious question.

    What is Llull's status overseas? With Lowry shipped out, might as well bring that guy over and see what he can do.

    Likely Calderon and a future 1st.

    Looks like we might be tearing it down which is great news.

    Damnit. I absolutely did not see this coming. Kyle Lowry is the heart of this Rockets team.

    I'm glad the team has finally decided to rebuild.

    What could they possibly be offering?

    I'm going to go make some pop corn, sit back, stop stressing and enjoy this show.

    I think they feel Lowry's checked out as a Rocket....no use inkeeping him if he's unhappy. He needs to be happy and energetic to be a good player.

    Looks like we're preparing for next summer's free agency. Tank year!

    I hope he IS the source, so we can all write this off as not happening
