    I hope this shuts up all the posters here who have been on Cuban's dick acting like he somehow one-upped Morey.

    What Cuban has done this year:
    - Start petty feud of wars with Morey
    - Overpaid for role player Parsons
    - Traded the good half of his bench for Rondo

    What Morey has done this year:
    - Swung for the fences with Bosh and Melo and missed
    - Offloaded Lin and LoF's for cap relief
    - Traded disgruntled Asik for potentially huge Pelican pick
    - Signed wingstopper Ariza for very team friendly contract
    - Vastly improved wing depth with KPap
    - Traded peanuts for Brewer
    - Won the Josh Smith dirt cheap annual rental sweepstakes

    If we can somehow flip picks and one or two of Canaan, Terry, Capela, Sved, KPap, and Dorsey, we are set for the playoffs.

    Pretty amazing in less than a week the Rockets went from having practically no depth, to having tons of depth with a lot of flexibility on who they want to play based on certain matchups

    Low risk, high reward. Pure Morey. Either he adds depth or gets cut. Yes, there's a risk to chemistry, but it's a calculated risk.

    Onwards and upwards!

    Parsons and lin to Ariza, Smith, Brewer, and Terry. This has been a great year so far. If we somehow get Dragic this would be the most stacked team we have ever had. But I'm really happy that the bench can give Harden rest.

    I agree with that, though I think a lot of credit should go to some of our star and veteran players for stepping it up in leadership, commitment to defense, and recruitment. Props to Harden, Howard, Terry

    Coaching staff also has been improved

    DMo need lose 0 minutes. When (not 'if', he offered blindly) TJo comes back he'll be in rotation minute hell.

    It feels so good knowing Dallas traded away damn near all its depth for rondo and they've struggled mightily since then and we scoop one of the more athletic big men in the league for literally nothing. NOTHING.

    Fortuitous? Absolutely. Do I care??? Not at all! You really couldn't have written a better scenario to play out. This type of thing does NOT happen in the modern NBA.

    I actually trust Morey and Mchale to play him in the right situation here.

    Lets go team!!!
