    Theres a time to swing for the fences, and there's a time to move the runner over. Morey's like the Adam Dunn of GMs at this point. Just hit the ball the other way, we don't need a home run.

    I'd say Josh Smith was a triple and Corey Brewer was a long double. Not too shabby.

    Good luck with Pringles or Bev ever coming close to winning Player of the Week.

    But but but the Morey homers tell me he got Harden and Dwight so he is all good for the next decade.

    Morey overestimates himself, and Les does too. I respect Morey for what he has done, but he didn't address the PG spot properly. Mo Williams is no star, but he is a good player for his age ( 32yrs), and knows his role. Scorer/ off the bench passer. Charlotte got him for cheap.

    It's ok to give two 2nd round picks for someone who will contribute but the only contribution Prigs has so far has been cheerleading with an IT programmer look from the bench and playing garbage time mostly

    FFS, two 2nd round picks should go to an instant contributor or a guy with future potential, not some 37 year old.

    Our PG situation is no better than it was before the deadline and we lost some picks for that. Both Shved and PP are DNP -CD's

    We got worse. Canaan was clearly a better player than Prigioni and Terry. When K.J. bolts in free agency people will realize how bad this trade is. Morey is an idiot.

    The Rockets sent out 2 picks that are likely gonna be in the 50's. You can buy a pick like that for nothing.

    That deal was strictly book keeping. If you wanna complain that we didn't make a real deal to help this season go ahead, but there was absolutely nothing wrong with the deals we made.

    Mo Williams got traded for a freaking 2nd round pick in 2019. Celtics got Thomas for a late 1st round pick. Morey had a lottery pick and 2 early 2nd picks and all he got was ****ing Prigioni? Y'all Morey fanboys need to take off your homer glasses and see what a moron he is.

    Dont be afraid of the passion and rage. Many of us agree. He will not bite unless you insult him so go ahead and discuss with him so I can hear your side.

    And, Morey still has that potential lottery pick as well as the probable 2015 and 2016 high second round picks. And, the Rockets currently have the 3rd best record in the West and 4th best in the NBA. And, if Howard comes back healthy for the playoffs, that is akin to acquiring an elite big man for nothing. The Rockets have been able to continue to win while getting big contributions from Smith, Jones, Brewer, Terry and DMo - all Morey acquisitions.

    Yes I agree that smith and company have been good pickups. The point is though that none of his mid season nor offseason acquisitions addressed the glaring hole we have at PG and second perimeter scorer when Harden takes a breather. It's an issue he could have fixed with a 2019 2nd rounder.

    Seeding doesn't mean ****, bro. All that matters is playoffs.
