    Llull is legit. If we ever moved Lin in a package for a crazy upgrade Llull could easily fit extremely well next to Harden.

    Signing Llull earlier than 2013 free agency was never realistic because of his contract buyout. It's been stated his new contract has an affordable buyout.

    Plus, the Rockets are more attractive now that they have identifyable young stars instead of old vets.

    Llull isn't leaving Ream Madrid. He's in a perfect situation. Morey is delusional.

    Perhaps a different opportunity on a different team? I'm still holding out hope Morey will get some value for this "asset".

    Don Draper and Royce White could be our Mad Men off the bench!

    Don Draper is a 3rd string point guard in Euroleague. Beverley is better. Draper is a genius dribbler, and a really pesky defender, but that's about the limit of his ability.

    And yet Llull was benched for him & Rodriguez the whole 4th quarter against Panathinaikos.

    Fire McHale!

    Btw:

    Is one allowed to drink RedBull during NBA games? Do we need #RedBullProtocol for Llull to come over? Morey might wanna look into this!

    I've forgotten about Sergio Lulz. Doubt he'll ever want to be a Rocket, nor does he want to. So forget the dude, we have a good situation here, excluding mr.#ImAfraidofeverything.

    I really could care less about whether he wants to play for the Rockets, or whether or not there's a fit for him here. As long as he wants to play in the NBA, and has an affordable buy out, then he'd be worth quite a bit on the trade market. And therefore valuable to the team.

    That said, unless his ego won't allow him off the bench, he'd be great as a backup SG/PG here IMO.

    He said that the NBA is far away since he signed a 6 year extension. He said the club and fans treat him great.

    Nothing new.

    I thought he was a wasted pick last year with Dragic and Lowry but he might be our savior at PG.
