    It means he's rebuilding the Morey way because the Sixers GM is allowing that.

    We rebuilt while still keeping a winning record. Do you remember that much?

    No problem. I appreciate the effort and, believe it or not, think more of you as a source after all this than I did before. :)-


    Are we still in play? Granger?? What's Hinkie up to?

    Any chance the Rockets take a shot at signing Granger if he gets bought out by Philly?

    Pretty much knew it wasn't gonna happen. My guess is that Morey thinks he might have a shot at re-signing Parsons to a good deal for both parties or else he would have pulled the trigger, imo. Having a guy like Rondo would have been great, but I sort of like how this team is built already. Something tells me that we'll look back at this as one of the trades we'll say to ourselves "we dodged a bullet here, folks".

    The team can now focus on the season.

    Not at all.

    It is a whole lot easier to make deals when your team has tons of cap space and will not be competitive. Break down what each deal was and they seem fair.... Hinkie was just in a position to use the same model that Houston uses.

    You are now the first and only person on my ignore list. Your posts have been nothing but immature and obnoxious. That Celtics guy just wanted to see what we had going on. Good job dude.

    That would be awesome. With Philly trying to tank and Granger being older and probably wanting to win, i could see it working.

    Cyber don't apologize, you're just posting what you get.

    For those who were ready to dump Rockets players for an "upgrade" shame on you.

    You see them as assets as well.

    Here is where saving that room exception may payoff. We can outbid everyone over the cap that has already used their cap exceptions for players that settle for buyouts.

    A backup guard or PF would be nice.

    bottomline is boston asking for too much, thus not worth trading for rondo.

    Too bad we couldn't pull it off, Rondo would been an enormous upgrade at the PG spot but I'm glad we didn't lose Parsons who is very important to the team.

    Appreciate you sharing the info, Cyber.

    Looks like the Celtics were asking for a little too much.

    He's probably so pissed he didn't get traded, wasn't he telling people yesterday to get autographs since he's leaving or whatever?

    Classic backup QB syndrome. Houstonians are very well versed. Cody Carolson, Bucky Richardson, Sage Rosencopter, TJ yates, Case Keenum

    Don't think you have to apologize to anyone around here. Any inside info we can get around here is much appreciated.
