Wow, I spend some time catching up in another thread, and BOOOM! there it goes. Why is this thread not full of Ron Paul gifs? It is TOTALLY happening.

Aside from the Dwight Howard angle, this is a great move. We have a glut of young 4's, might as well flip one of them for some assets. I'd rather give up T-Rob than D-Mo or Jones. And of course, there is the Dwight thing.

Don't let Clyde anywhere near the name. He'll mangle it into some awkward inappropriate joke and then everyone shifts uncomfortably at the faux pas, lol.

Can I say YAY!!!!! Happening or not, I love the haul for T Rob. Somehow Morey going to fleece someone and get a 2014 First round pick for this crop of players/picks.
(say this in voice of the Dr. @ end of Halloween movie) He's not human! He's not human! JR is a machine.
Not surprised that Robinson was flipped! Still would have been awesome to keep him! But when you're going after a guy like D12 you gotta do it! Now that the trade has happened I think the next two guys to go are Asik and Lin! Maybe we can work something out with Boston for Bass and Rondo! Of course I'm sure we will have to flip some 1st rounders the other way! Still Bass, Howard, Parsons, Rondo, and Harden is a killer team!
If we trade Asik and get Howard, who plays center when Howard gets hurt? Asik is a rock. Asik can and will improve, and he already showed great strides his first year starting. Please keep Asik. Twice the heart of Howard!
Honestly, a bit disappointed to see Thomas Robinson gone as he is so easy to root for, but this was clearly in our best interests. Really impressive haul considering the position we were in.

Looking at your chart reminds me of how thin the rockets are on the perimeter. If this DH deal goes through, they will have to look hard at trading some of the front court players for depth on the wing. Goudelocke is a player that comes to mind when considering the team's need.
Pristine trade. Even though compared to where he was drafted, this was not enough compensation, but it was a great haul by Morey. He's going to get at least 2 rotational players out of this.
