The last 2 trade deadlines have sucked. I guess this is a reflection of the shift in the Rocket's mentality now that team is getting better. But I still want a big splash!!!
So how about Jarrett Jack and Pels pick to Phoenix, Dwill and Knicks pick to Philly. Reggie Jackson, Perk, Rox expirings to Nets, Lopez and Nuggets pick to OKC, Goran, Mason Plumlee to Houston. Philly buys out Dwill and he signs with Rox for the minimum.
I feel like if we dont make a move we could easily slide to the 8th seed and be swept by the warriors in the first round... The Spurs and OKC are going to turn it on the second half of the season and the MAVs and Blazers got better and the Clippers have always had our number... Dwight is also out another month
I expect the Rockets at minimum to move Shved. Probably to Orlando for Luke Ridnour. We still have 2 hours left. Plenty of time. And sometimes trades are submitted to the league office before the 3pm EST deadline but we don't hear about it for like 30/60mins later. I am sure Morey has set is "price" on certain trade targets and will move once the other team agrees. Otherwise he will go do his plan B/C/D/E etc.
I don't have a pool, so I'm just going to sit in my chair and rage until the deadline passes. Dammit. Actually maybe I'll go score some lunch.
If OKC gets Lopez do you think that raises the chances of Durant staying in OKC? It's such a huge gamble to take...
Well since that people have been tweeting out what teams aren't privy to a move or aren't seeking one the fact that the Rockets haven't been on that list or haven't leaked out that they aren't doing anything is a good sign too.

Likewise, no one gains value from the "analysis" of the person who is providing "analysis" of the insider other than the poster's own inflated ego.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! we need to do a deal. we are fooling ourselves. i am so tired of being a one and done playoff team!
Yeah, let's solve our problems by getting rid of our best signing in the last year... Flexibility got him a rebounder named Dwight, so McHale can shut it on the GM front. And I'm a big McHale fan. @Cyberx, Austin, Texas is with you too!
