    Rockets get screwed......disappointed as one can be.

    With teams like the Lakers and Heat what is the point of even watching NBA basketball. We have 0% chance of winning a title in the next 3-4 years.

    In addition if this trade goes down it just goes to show you the NBA is a joke. The rich get richer. Morey does everything the right way has all the assets in the world and still cant even get Bynum out of this? I had to put up with the last few years of mediocrity because i trusted morey and had faith that it was going to get better but apparently not. Not sure who to blame in all of this but i do know one thing. My interest as a Rockets fan has drastically diminished.

    Lakers and Heat next 5 NBA finals. Enjoy it......

    If it does go through then I guess we just gave Hennigan too much credit for having half a brain

    Still could easily be a bluff, but if it's true then I guess we can take the Jameer Nelson deal as a sign of how intelligent the rookie GM is

    I'm not sure if that is sarcasm or not lol, but I would be EXTREMELY surprised if we still didnt pull off a pretty significant move before Tipoff.

    exactly. I love the fact that Morey didnt overpay for HOward. Cant wait to see our young guys develop. we werent going to win a title anyway with dwight howard & Lin. Might as well rebuild & get some great young talent that Morey always comes up with. This time morey gets high end draft picks.


    IN MOREY WE TRUST!!!!!!

    Bynum will resign in Philly? Really?

    Also:

    Magic fans are divided as well. Those who are the optimists are happy with the deal, because Harkless has all-star potential and they got three first round picks. The others realize those picks are protected and will suck, and that they really didn't get anybody with potential.

    But they got rid of Howard in the end; guess that's what was important. :(

    Lmao if that's the deal. The magic get absolute crap and the lakers get Dwight Howard. How on earth did that happen?

    I don't care that we don't get him, but it's ridiculous that the lakers will.

    Yep, but the reports are that it's a done deal. I'm guessing the deal will make a lot more sense for Orlando and everyone else once all the details are out. I'm hoping this is just a leverage ploy, but I'm not banking on it.

    MOREY & CLUTCHFANS OVERVALUE ASSETS AND CAN'T GET A DEAL DONE!! DURRR!

    Not as if it's just Clutchfans who thinks it's a bad offer. Orlando is and will get ripped for this deal. Not that that means much but...

    What's that old phrase or saying, you can lead a [horse/dog/animal] to water but can't make him drink it?

    Morey bashing commences in 3..2..1..

    Wait, already begun.

    my thing is what do we do with 22 players on the roster!!!!!! he took on all these bench warmers with unguarenteed in hopes of making a move and now all teams are getting ther rosters set for training camp next month. We are only allowed 15 players so now cutting guys will be a waste of money

    Unless Orlando is sending out 2-3 contracts, this was a turrible trade for the magic.

    that's what's so unfair about this whole situation.

    How could orlando not come up with both bynum & gasol. they cold trade gasol in a heart beat since they are rebuilding anyway.

    This crap reminds me of the lakers getting gasol for nothing from memphis.

    THE RICH GET RICHER.
