    I'm so tempted to jump on the "fire Morey" bandwagon, except i can't stand all of the other people in the wagon. It's killing me to reserve judgement. This trade sounds so underwhelming for Houston.

    Saves the team $4.25M since Forbes makes $1.5M, plus Dragic's cap hold will be gone once he signs with Phoenix officially.

    Calderon makes Kevin Martin money and is also an expiring contract. If they're trying to make the playoffs he's good for depth as he can cover both guard positions.

    No.

    Les or any smart owner wouldn't want to pay Scola 30 million dollars for him to play somewhere else.

    Scola at his contract, is still good value. You can get something out of him.

    Morey is the dumbest smart guy I've ever seen. I think it's time for Les to show him the door.

    Not the top of the 2013 draft.

    You have to assume that since negotiations stalled out last night, this might have something to do with it. Its speculative at best, but its possible. However, I dont know how much of gamble Morey is willing to put into a high dollar contract with an unproven long term player like Lin. There must be a limit on the dollar amount, and you must be able to walk away if you think Lin might become a liability during the life of his contract if his talent is overrated.

    So wait, we traded Lowry for Gary Forbes and Toronto's unprotected draft pick?

    It should be noted that there will be 4 or 5 good C prospects expected to comeout in the 2012-2013 draft.
