    TMZ sucks. His mother died. Both his grandparents died. The only person he has left is his teenage (I think) sister. I don't blame him for spending what he earned as long as it doesn't get out of control.

    Declining his option is a foregone conclusion. He's way overpaid.

    Daryl Morey is the best GM in sports.

    I'd like to see Robinson start.

    I do like how ppatt can shoot mid-range shots though...looks like robinson can play tough in the inside, but can he shoot mid-rangers at all?

    Agreed, but I don't care if Robinson goes to the DLeague and we dont see him until next year, Morey is still the best GM in sports.

    How was his defense in college? I know he has a huge wingspan, nearly 7'4", so that can't hurt at all.

    I've been saying it over & over...Mook Morris will be traded to the Suns as a PR stunt / marketing ploy for Phoenix while they rebuild, I would've liked a 1st round pick though.

    Is anyone watching the interviews during commercial breaks on first row sports of Aldrich and Douglas? They are also showing Morris milling around on his cell Phone. Douglas looked like the trade annoyed him more then Aldrich.

    Yeah he has somewhat of a jumper, nothing deadly but something to work on. Patterson at this stage is definitely a better jumpshooter.

    Highlight was interesting. Goes to his left hand a ton around the bucket a la TMac or Jermaine O'Neal. Good handles. Seems very much a 3 from that look..

    Rockets needed more scoring inside the paint, hustle & rebounds...

    They got it.

    Wow I love this move! Never saw this one coming either.
    I've wanted Morris and Aldrich out for a while now, really the only person I don't like giving up is Patterson, but hey for a nice looking rookie power forward drafted 5th I'll take it. Throw in a second round pick coming our way and this trade looks even better.

    In Morey We Trust
