Raptors acquire Kyle Lowry for first round pick

Sam Amick: According to @Jonathan Feigen, it's Forbes. Great get for Raps after missing out on Nash. Rockets appear to be on verge of major rebuild. about 9 minutes ago

Another forward and a pick. Hmm....

 

We are getting some really crappy deals.....Lowry is not worth that low! What the eff mann

 

The "Rockets won't get it if too high" part is the only thing that matters. Pennies on the dollar, that the mantra.

We're tanking it to the streets

(from radio, not original)

 

Lol...Yea I have been a big fan of Morey all along but I've just about had enough. As of now it doesn't even look like he can blow a team up correctly haha

 

The Raptors' protection on the pick had better not be greater than top 3.

 

This is happening because the rest of the league can smell the desperation. Once a GM enters that spiral, the odds of a bad trade, bad roster move, or bad signing increase dramatically.

 

Well, duh.

Carry on.

 

I don't like this. Lowry could be a big piece in acquiring Josh Smith or someone.

Furthermore why didn't we deal him for the Raptors 8th pick when they were offering it (we would have Drummond)

 

WTF is this ****?? Morey couldn't do better than this with all the talk of being our best player, near all-star. We couldn't even get a guard or center in the deal?? Morey is officially the dumbest GM who is looking more desperate by the day..

 

It's like he's in desperation mode to save his job but making a meal out of things now.

 

The Raptors pulled a Morey on Morey.. and lowballed him

the hits just keep on coming

 

So you want to tread water, or do you want to rebuild? This is how you rebuild.

I like the way you keep posting in this thread, assuming you know what's going on.

 

Are Ish Smith and Von Wafer still actively playing basketball?

 

it was the raptors who wouldn't do the trade. We wanted to do the trade; raptors said no.

 

Please welcome your starting point guard for the Houston Rockets 12-13:

 

were talking about the east here

they have a chance to make the playoffs a good one 2

 

The Raptors suck... it isn't like he is going to OKC or Miami.

 

NOT SURE IF SERIOUS?
