    For Pete's sake, just go somewhere else with your ish. We get that u do not believe, grab a beer, grab your woman but go do something u enjoy and get out of this thread man.

    Do u even understand what being in high cotton means?? Whatever happens it will be good news for Rockets fans. If u don't believe or have patience, then more is the pity.

    Of course. But the Rockets clearing capspace for Dragic next offseason requires a lot of sacrifices. Similar to the sacrifices they would have had to make this offseaon had Bosh decided to come here. Rockets have to get rid of just about everyone beyond Ariza, Harden, Howard, Beverley, and Jones to sign Dragic under the cap. And this is assuming the rumors are correct that the NBA wants a new TV deal that would allow for sizable increase in cap next year.

    If you add Dragic to that core, is that championship contender? I'm not so sure. Either way, it makes infinitely more sense that the Rockets trade for a PG this offseason. Then they can use their MLE next year. They can retain all the young players they won't be sending out for Dragic. They can also try to trade for a significant PF at the deadline like Millsap without worrying about re-signing him or trying to go for a Rondo or Dragic in 2015 FA. If the Rockets wants a PG that becomes FA in 2015, then they should be doing all they can to get that player today.

    Looking at the roster, our 6th man is "flexibility". We better find a trade partner for flex ASAP or we're going to be a a hole or burn out Howard and/or Harden.

    I once had a goat. He fainted at the sight of the dragon. So instead I ended up just buying 4 pallets of Oreos and eating them.... Over time.

    The Terry trade can be completed tomorrow. If an official announcement does not come out it will be an indication the Rockets are at least exploring a bigger trade.

    Rubio is gone?

    "I'm loyal. I want to give them back what they gave me there: a lot of love," Rubio told Yahoo. Yahoo! Sports -

    Spoon. This has all been a terrible mistake over a typo.

    Rubio's statement is well thought-out propaganda. Don't you understand? He wants a 5-year deal with 7.5% max raises. There's many twists and turns for pending free agents who are going after a max deal. This is just one of the first.

    Minny has a ton of youth. Rubio is a young player himself but I don't see him wanting to partake in the 3-4 year rebuild that is about to be the Timberwolves.

    Still love the idea of Rubio in a lineup with Harden and Howard.

    Gonna be overloaded with point guards apparently according to GARM. Houston needs competent big men first and foremost

    I guess Daryl is letting his Faried dream die after that World Cup performance.
