    Watched him tonight. He has looked absolutely terrible this year and in this game. Slow getting back. Can't finish. Missing shots all over the place. And as I write this he hits a a huge 3 from up top. Good night Irene.

    They list him as a SF, but he could start as a stretch 4, right? I think he's 6'10. I just think he needs more time back from his injury.

    Why would he ban/suspend people for telling the truth? Shouldn't he ban the supposed "insiders" for lying?

    Unshakeable arrogance informs your every syllable. It's akin to listening to Joffrey shriek "I am the king!!"

    As far as Rondo, we're woefully short of playmakers and slashers-to-the-basket. Morey was after Carmelo, who would have had to adjust to playing with Harden. Rondo is obviously not the same player but he and Harden would also have to mesh.

    You yourself said Morey and Mchale reinforced the defense. Rondo would be excellent in that regard. Sure, he doesn't shoot threes, but he'll get the ball to everyone who does.

    If we can bolster the 4 instead, great. God knows we need it. But don't discount Rondo from the list of Rocket possibilities. Whomever we get in trade will be because the GM of the other team will be the one who blinked, for whatever reason.

    Morey needs to stop with all that moreyball stuff. Mid-Range might not be high percentage, but you're definitely gonna need it playoff time.

    If we don't care about 2015 free agency anymore, I wonder if Brandon Jennings comes up in trade discussions.

    Would love him on the Rockets. He'd make us a legit contender.

    Morey was trying hard to get a pound the rock/"anti-Morey" small forward in Melo.

    Arjun....go check his numbers this year. He's playing well, and his contract is actually pretty good if you don't care about 2015 free agency. He'd give us a much needed spark on the 2nd unit, and could give Harden some extra rest.

    Assuming he doesn't cost much, he'd be a good candidate for the Lin TPE.

    Beverley / Jennings
    Harden / Terry

    Might as well get Josh Smith while you're at it.

    See the response above. I stand corrected as to the reason for the suspension.

    And I'm pretty sure "insiders" who were blatantly trolling did get banned (though I could be wrong about that too). I don't think roe4christ and that shaun person got to stick around.

    He is an interesting trade candidate if he is available. He is shooting much better this year (who knows if it is just a fluke) and he would be a hell of a lot better than Cannan off the bench. I haven't watched any Detroit games this year, but he the leader in win share for them as well.

    Get em', PLOWDOG.

    Rondo, Goran, Rubio, (Bledsoe?)


    Plow has been pretty forward with PG names.. I wonder what the PF is though.

    Yeah, keep stringing the hilariously gullible along Plowdog! You go!

    Embarassing.

    Again, on the 3....


    4-5 days ago, PHX came out and said they've been notified by the Dragon that he will have an "open" free agency.

    2 -3 days ago -Ainge has said if Rondo does get dealt, it will ONLY be to Houston.

    2 days ago - Don Quixote and Sancho are said to be more available than ever due to Cervantes Flipping giving Quixano his sanity back .....Exit visas from La Mancha are said to be...if not imminent...on the horizon.

    I wonder what we would give up for Rondo. Surely another team can offer more than we can. We aren't exactly steeped in talent this year and I don't see a scenario where both Jones and Beverley are packaged together.
