    Yeah it's times like these when you know for sure that Morey looks at numbers that aren't available to the public.

    Picking up power forwards tells me that Jones and DMo are being traded for a decent point guard. Either Rubio or Dragic

    Yeah when you get a superstar like Earl Clark, you don't need anyone else.

    No but if you traded both away you'd be left with Adrien and Clark and that would be tragic.

    I'm told the Earl Clark claim is likely to be a move for the Vipers. If he doesn't make the roster (likely) and the Rockets are last to waive him, they have his D-League rights.

    I thought there was some rule about if you've been in the NBA for X number of years you are ineligible to play in the D-League.

    Am I mistaken?

    I've heard the same thing. Odd, though, as I thought the determination of priority on Training Camp Allocation rights was number of DAYS IN CAMP with one team versus another. That's how I thought the Rockets/Vipers got Troy Daniels's rights last year instead of the Charlotte Bobcats, who had had Daniels in camp earlier.

    You're thinking about veteran status for ASSIGNMENTS to the D-League. If Clark doesn't make an NBA squad and instead is playing on a D-League contract, the Vipers (presumably?) can have his rights.

    Comments like that make you lose all credibility, once he's waived and this turns out to be a d-league move

    Comments like yours put the two of us back where we were....and that's too bad....I thought peace/goodwill were going to reign.

    If you'll look closer, what I said had nothing to do with Clark.

    I was supporting what Drew said.

    You will see a major move before November.

    You're about to lose the bet.....But nobody really loses as long as the Rockets get better in the process, right? : )
