    Yup.

    Anyone know if Robinson is with the team yet? Any interviews of the guy?

    How do you say DMo has a better shot and better range than Patterson? How do you back that up?? I believe you are way off.

    Tweet from Bullard a few minutes ago said they are still waiting on the results of the physical from Sacramento. Technically the trade isn't even finalized yet, and Patrick Patterson foot issues are scaring the crap out of me right now.

    Could this trade possibly fall through??... I dunno, but Im a little worried right now especially since there is obviously some sort of delay going on.

    Sorry but I disagree. He is physically with the team right now in DC. If he says they are still waiting on physical results, I dont find it hard to believe that he wouldn't know that being right there physically with the team.

    When it comes to front office stuff... of course, but I dont think anyone with the team really knows what the front office is doing... including alot of the coaches and players.

    dmo got that silky smooth release and hits net on his threes, just watch as dmo gets more minutes and gets pattersons shots from beyond the arc, the rockets wont miss a beat. dmo is a much better distance shooter. period..

    I didn't cringe. He shot over 36% from 3. That's good, especially for a PF.

    Dmo has the range but he doesn't yet have the consistency with the shot. Apparently he strokes it from 3 in practice, but that hasn't translated to games yet.

    Wow, they traded away Douglas, the better PG on the roster that marginalized Jeremy Lin!

    I've been worried about it since the trade was announced. I hope Patterson dorsnt find his way back here. That would suck.

    The first thing I thought about when the trade was announced was Patterson and his bad foot. Yes, I am concerned too. The physical shouldn't take this long, should it?

    Also worried about it. It would completely suck, I honestly think the team will be better with out Patterson and Morris and D-mo replacing them.

    How is this trade not being finalized when NBA reported it on 21st?
    Trade being finalized is one thing.... passing the physical is another matter... the next step

    Maybe it'll be finalized before the Kings next game 2morrow.

    Guess this is just Rockets paranoia because we've had these trades seem final then some **** pops up.

    Trade deadline is over.... I think the least we can say is that Patterson's injured knee or leg is a problem of the Kings now

    If he fails the physical, he just won't play for the Kings. Aldrich and Douglas can still play for them.
