    My real dream for the Rockets to get albeit it will be next to impossible is Dirk Nowitzki. He's the almost perfect man other than Bosh, Love and LMA next to Dwight but it's just really a fantasy... :)

    It should be a very interesting February. Daryl is still in charge, his hands haven't been forced. I wouldn't mind a top 3 pick. :)

    Brooks?? Obviously we cant lose him. We have already seen Pat Bev go down, Harden go down and the Rox not able to get the ball in. That would definitely come back to haunt us.

    Brewer can be moved with no issues.

    We Need a couple players to remain who can play different positions. Brooks allow the other PG to move to a 2G.

    Get Ya Mind Correct

    We'd take Ibaka back for Asik.

    Wow @ Parsons, public harshing on his teammate. I mean... he is correct, but that's quite a call-out from a youngster.

    Yeah, I agree with what Parsons said. Asik can still play with a lot of minutes. I don't know what Asik is upset about. Do Asik even care about championship?

    Parsons is in the wrong here talking about Asik. He hasn't played in the last 2 games. He is a young center in the league and is a starter (I agree with the Howard signing, that's not even a question). Parsons need to realize it is business and Asik is trying to do what's best for him.
    How will Parsons react if Morey brought in a starting SF to replace him? Best things in these situations is to keep your mouth shut.

    LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!! Ibaka is a better interior defender and outside shooter. Morey will hear a dial tone if he asks for Ibaka.

    Perk, Roberson and 2014 pick should do it :)

    Spot on. Asik makes over a hundred grand a game and he totally needs to be proffessional about his (job). Even if he plays 12 minutes a game he needs to play his hardest and best period. He's going to get traded no matter what he does and you have to really think its going to be at the trade deadline when Morey can get the most value for him. Quit pouting and do your job.

    Agreed. Just let the front office handle this issue. Players should stay out of this.

    And that's fine. OKC has nothing else we want for Asik besides Serge or Durant. so whoever keeps bringing up OKC should stop unless they can come up with a trade okc will take for Durant or Serge.

    Parson is such a douche. If we brought in a elite SF and he was relegated to the bench and played 12 minutes a game how would he feel?

    Very well. But no Serge and defintely no KD for asik. We'll wait. asik can pout and not play on your bench in the mean time. We're very patient :grin:

    Bad but I'm sure he would be excited about his up and coming contract and play like a professional.

    Exactly. Especially with that pitiful contract hes on now. He'd be pissed

    He'd have zero leverage in contract negotiations. Less minutes = decreased stats

    I don't think he's going to get as much as he think. A lot of people feel he's just a system guy.
