Rockets trade D-Mo, Thornton to Pistons for first round pick

This is the key. Did Morey put one of his magical protections on this pick or is he using it for another move? Time will tell...

 

I wonder why Thornton was necessary.

 

this is horrible.

 

This is for a larger deal IMO. Calm down. Some GM probably wants a 1st round pick as part of a larger deal. Now we have it.

 

Maury should be the one leaving Houston, not Paulina

 

Sooooo, with DMO gone....that means TJONES stays!?!?!?

 

Thinking again: We now have two mid 1st rounders in a good draft and want to dump Dwight. Either we rebuild or (more likely) Morey is working on a huge deal that includes both 1st rounders and Dwight or Ariza?

i has no idear what is going on with rockets assketball this session

 

Most likely just lottery protected.

 

14-18...i believe

 

Could be as high as 13th pick, otherwise I'm guessing the protection is if it end up in the top 3 in the lottery.

It's basically the same return we got for Lowry.

someone hold me, i think im dying

 

Noooo...what the ****????

 

So whose going to score Marcus Thornton's 10+ points a game now? Cause it sure as **** isn't going to be Joel 'I can block a few shots for 5 minutes' Anthony.

 

Someone check on DD might have had a heart attack.

Basically recycling a former mid first rounder for a similar pick.

Good times folks good times

 

WTF. JA is a worthless scrub.
