    I'm going to be thoroughly disappointed if after all these rumors and if there's a ton of players moved in the league and we end up with no major improvements. Movement in any market is the ideal time to be opportunistic.

    Don't see much incentive for Utah to do this.

    Utah wants a big . Tj fits next to gobert perfectly. They also retain capspace to go after a big fa. It will also help them more to compete for the playoffs instead of a rookie. They have a year to evaluate tj and see if they will pay him. In the meantime it opens more minutes for exum. Of course the best for them would be to go straight for lawson with the #12 so exum can learn from him a few thinfs. But becoz of lawson character and what he has said about utah in the past publicly i cant see it happening.

    We will be disappointed. This is how it always ends up for us.

    Right. We were so disappointed when Morey traded for Harden. And some superstar named Dwight signed with us. I was super sad when we got Brewer and Josh Smith for peanuts.

    Get a grip.

    LOL you sir. How many times is our name in the conversation with these big free agents, and nothing happens? I know we got Dwight and Harden, which I am fine with that, but seeing our name in every Free Agents sentence becomes like "blah blah blah" at this point.

    The big transactions usually don't occur during the normal active periods in the NBA (trade deadline and draft). We will probably be disappointed tonight. Prepare for the gloom and doom aftermath in the GARM. some weird day during summer league is when Morey will make his move. Then he will be heralded here again. It's the cycle of Morey

    Hope we could move up and draft Booker as well. Shooters!

    Favors is worth more than the #18 alone. He is young can play pf c has more upside and is locked up in a nice contract.

    This year just feels different. Everyone is saying that there is going to be crazy movement.

    Actually the Clutchfans community does get pretty upset with Morey on his draft day, July 8th, and trade deadline non-moves he passes up.

    Here is a recent history lesson of the non-moves that have pissed off fans the most-

    -Drafting Pat Patterson over Larry Sanders & Hassan Whiteside
    -drafting too many PF's when we wanted a "real center"
    -Not signing Whiteside again
    -Not trading for Ersan Ilyasova
    -Not trading for a high profile PG this past trade deadline (J. Jack, R. Jackson)
    -Not trading Jones & D-Mo for peanuts in November of 2013 because they were "losing value".
    -Not trading Jones last Summer
    -Not signing Marion to the full MLE (when they signed Kostas)
    -Not trading up to draft "The Stretch 4 We Need" in Doug McDermott
    -Not trading Asik for Ryan Anderson
    -Not trading for Dalembert (then signing him for peanuts later realizing he sucks)


    and soon to be...

    -Not trading Ricky Rubio

    Just imagine how good the Rockets would be if he gave us what we wanted.
