    This is a good point we got to root for them to get bounced ugly every post season until 2016

    In the hopes of maintaining our own title hopes, I would want OKC to defeat Golden State.

    With Perkins out of the picture, and a softie like Kanter replacing him, I would imagine Dwight won't be a complete no-show against them.

    If Cyberx is right, then the Rockets will find themselves in a long line of Durant suitors...

    Morey dangles another carrot, named "Durant" this time, in front of the donkey.

    If Kanter is softy, maybe you are President Obama

    Kanter is bully physical offensive minded player with great rebounding, inside scoring, nice size a improving 3pt range, good body and footwork

    Obvious steal for the Thunder

    And what happens if Durant doesn't come to Houston? We'v then would have pissed away very, very valuable years of Harden and Howard's career. Next thing you know, Howard and Harden will bounce for better situations.

    If the time comes and Durant to Houston gets real, then by all means Morey should flip the roster upside down to get him. But ****ing over 2 seasons for just a mere possibility are you ****ing kidding me? We need to be focused on winning now with what we have, and nothing else. We should of made a move this deadline.

    I mean, I understand. We can't always get what we want, Morey can't control what just happened with Dragic. But, he could of picked up a decent point and backup C like Jack and Kanter or something along those lines, easily. But he chose not too, because those types of moves hurt our #flexibility

    **** the flexibility morey! Again, when the time comes do whatever the **** you want to get Durant, but not 2 or 1.5 years in advance!

    Stop with the meltdowns.

    Focusing on winning and keeping your options open is not mutually exclusive.

    Then tell me why are we stuck with Dorsey as our backup center (when Howard is having major health issues), and a pg rotation of Beverley and Prigioni for the rest of this season when we clearly needed an upgrade at the point?

    By not addressing those needs, Morey is not putting the team in the best position to win this season. And we are, in a win now situation. Morey is holding back this seasons roster, due to his focus on a free agency 1.5 years from now.

    I'm not a fan of that decision at all.

    Hi MOF,

    Rockets only fan here. I am from future. From the year 2035. You will be excited to know that we have Howard, Harden, LBJ, KD in our team now. They all are above 60. We recently own NBA chanpionship. "For trying.". We don't call it Larry O'brien trophy anymore - it is "Flexibility" trophy now. :)

    Please enlighten us as to what backup center you wanted that was traded today and what your offer was.

    Lol what the ****? What my offer was?

    I'm not going to go over this now, it's meaningless. But you know damn well that morey could of done better then Prigioni and standing pat with Dorsey if he wasn't so focused on keeping flexibility for future off seasons. If you think otherwise you know your lying to your self. Hopefully morey can find sign a couple of FA's or buyouts though.

    Any word on Durant's foot? Maybe I'm reading too much into it but he didn't seem too upbeat in the post game interview. Hope he is alright.

    You simply have no idea what you are talking about.

    If You have a reasonable course of action to Improve the team,offer it up, otherwise stop ****ing crying.
