I agree! I hate the focus on one guy and miss out on other moves. But then again theres not THAT much that could be had out there. Rockets have very specific needs right now.

I'm happy with those moves. But with the NOP pick, the Knicks 2nd rounder, and expiring deals like Shved and Papa(assuming the team option is turned down this summer) at Morey's disposal, it would be a real missed opportunity if he couldn't get something done. I really hope he's not gonna stand pat because of "flexibility" for Durant in 2016.

I'm with you on this, but nothing seems to say that we have interest. I mean no insiders have said it that I know of. Maybe his contract is longer or more than Morey wants to deal with for his plans.
Its the truth! Rockets are fixed on Dragic! Just like in the offseason when we got caught star gazing and everyone around us signed people. I'm just saying… Rockets have been rumored to Dragic and Jackson. Morey is probably only trying to get involved with three teams trade.
other teams are gonna make moves.. we aren't the only team in the league... it's ok... one fringe play-off team getting slightly better isn't the end of the world.
Whoever gets him is lucky because DRAGIC ABOUT TO SHOW THE WORLD HE'S ON STEPH (maybe Seth) CURRY'S LEVEL.
Rockets front being so quiet so far scares me but you never know with Morey. Do you guys think teams are avoiding the Rockets in trades?
I'd be all in favor of Jarrett Jack even IF we got Dragic. Don't know if you can get both, but Jack off the bench would be something I'd love.
Unlike many of you, I'm not a fan of Jack's contract. $6.3 million per through the 2016-17 season, no thanks.
