    No, not even Stuckey unless I just missed something. Someone had posted this video in another thread about a veteran Euro guard that is wanting to come over:

    Why are you guys arguing with that troll? Just put him on ignore and move on. You will lose nothing of value.

    You mean when he will announce his decision? He decided a long time ago.

    I'd take him as a back-up. Maybe a starter. But he's unproven at the NBA level.

    I have seen few rumors of Heat interest in LMA. If this is so, would this be interest indicative of a preference of LMA over Bosh or are they trying to move one of them to the 5 spot? If it is preference then does anyone think a 3 way with the heat and blazers be possible where we end up with Bosh?

    Port Out: Fully maxed LMA
    Hou Out: Ariza & Co.(picks/prospects/players)
    Mia Out: Bosh plus throw-ins

    Hou In: Bosh
    Mia In: LMA
    Port In: Ariza & Co. plus Mia throw-ins

    Never said I want him, but you know Morey. When he wants something...just wondering. I know he stiffed us last year, but he did put up decent stats. DMo had a good year end early with injury, but is everyone OK going into this coming year with just DMo at the 4? Have we seen enough to say he is a lock down starting PF yet? TJones is all but gone or do y'all prefer the big K Perk splash?

    Well, neither is Mudiay... Or Russell.

    This Huertas guy is one of the top PGs in Europe though, and he has a ton of experience.

    I hate this a lot that we have to wait too much for this a-hole to choose a team. Morey should focus on someone else, a position we need. Aldridge is not worth it.

    I agree. Morey should put an expiration on the offer. Eff him. If he's offended he didn't plan on coming anyway. And free agents will respect us more.

    Not like we are a lottery team or 8th seed waiting for him to save us. I would publicly withdraw the offer. Tired of teams using us to leverage other teams.

    Yes, it said they have around 8M to offer him, and the Rockets can match that.
    The Lakers have contacted him too, and can offer him more money than Houston.
