    We went from having the top point guards duo in Lowry and Dragic to absolutley nothing. Guessing its rebuilding time or setting up for a Howard trade......yay

    I personally think Lowry's b****in did more damage to the franchise then T-Mac's announcement of seeking surgery, since it appeared to have the domino effect of weakening the Rockets' bargaining position across the board.


    I hope he rots in the basement of the Eastern Conference in Toronto.

    Yes... another forward!

    But the guy can play though. 35% 3PT shooter which isn't bad.

    This is a morey tactic to position itself in getting Jeremy Lin. Wasn't Lin going to visit the raptors next? Hahaha.

    You know your team sucks ass when you depended on Dragic and or Lowry to keep status quo and remain medicore and the loss of them = Tanking.

    I've never been so excited to "Tank". :grin:

    The biggest threat is still NY, not Toronto.

    I am so thrilled to be rebuilding. Last year was a perfect excuse to tank with a lockout, shortened season (less suckage to watch), new coach, new "system." Better late than never.

    From Gary's Wiki:

    In July 2010, Forbes returned to the US for another shot at the NBA. He was invited to play with the Houston Rockets on their summer league team in Las Vegas.[34] Forbes played in 4 of the team's 5 games, averaging 3.8 points and 3.0 rebounds per game.[35]

    Does this mean the Rockets have more cap space thus they can still offer Lin a better contract?? That's the only way I will happy, because Fortson at PG with maybe Machadoo is not going to cut it.
