    Too bad we had to give Phoenix our franchise player though.

    Really? In less than a month, he'll be 22 -- you think he'll be as good as Faried by then? :eek:

    I hope the League doesn't somehow try to block this trade.

    So according to ESPN we got 2 second rounders. One from Sacramento and one from Phoenix. Is that true?

    Alley oop?

    Looking at those videos of Thomas Robinson he seems pretty athletic above the rim. Lin now has someone he can alley oop pass too.

    Looking forward to how TRob works out, seems like we got the best of the deal; sad to see PPatt and Marcus go, hope they do well, they helped us win games.. will be surprised if DMorey doesn't win Exec of the Year, the win against OKC is a great start to our second half of the season

    I believe that is correct. Which will be extremely high second rounders due to Suns and Kings sucking.

    Sources say, Markieff Morris and Marcus Morris are brothers.

    i'm pretty sure when it was stated that he was 21 years of age we all took it for what it was... HE'S 21

    I mean, unless you want to be a dick and see EXACTLY when his birthday is and how many days, hours, minutes, seconds until he turns 22 and then TRY to call someone out like they are stupid.

    I'm pretty sure he meant in a year or so he can develop into a Faried like player.

    Why did they trade Morris? Doesn't seem necessary. He and PP were improving. But true, their defense/rebounding wasn't great.

    Thomas Robinson puts the Power in forward. You will love him in the pick and roll. The problem is that he has no outside shot so defenses will not spread the floor when he is on the court. He will crash the boards and get the fans out of their seats, though. Good trade. Good potential. Frees up more cap space next season and Garcia gives us another gunner off the bench for the balance of this season.

    Why does EVERYONE keep saying the Rockets need rebounding? We are one of the BEST rebounding teams in the NBA.... Just because your 4 doesn't, and isn't asked to, get 10+ rebounds a game doesn't mean we NEED rebounding.... That is just a stupid thing to say. Our 4's are asked to run the floor after opposing teams shoot the ball, and spot up at the 3 point line. Kinda hard to rebound when asked to do that, don't you think?

    We needed a rebounding, physical low post player with upside and a worker's mentality. We got him...and he's only 21.

    Who's being a dick? My point was that he's not going to be Kenneth Faried anytime in the near future, and definitely not this season or next, when he's 22 and 23.

    Maybe you're just feeling a little butthurt since your namesake got traded.
