    Rockets acquire Marcus Camby for Thabeet, Flynn, 2nd round pick

    ClutchFans 2011 NBA Draft Thread (6/23/2011) - #14. Marcus Morris

    I like Darius Morris a lot too. SI's Sam Amick has us taking him at 23 along with Nikola Vucevic at 14 in his latest mock draft. That would be a...

    ClutchFans 2011 NBA Draft Thread (6/23/2011) - #14. Marcus Morris

    Almost word for word what I was going to say. I'd definitely draft him if he were there at 14, because he's a winner. If I traded up, though, it...

    Why can't Patterson be a star?

    Hakeem Olajuwon Quadruple Double Highlight reel

    Actually, it was the opposite: Hakeem finished one assist shy of the quad, and the Rockets found one on the game tape that the scorer had missed....

    Nice, Small Comment About Olajuwon

    Baker, class of 80. I knew Dave Ramer back when he had a face and have hated Karl "Elbows" Malone ever since.

    T-Mac Running the Point

    Two other possibilites: 1. He's referring to playing Battier at the 4 with Yao and Brooks/Alston at the point; 2. He's thinking of the amount...

    How the Rockets look after the Scola deal

    Rockets have made a trade, pending league approval (UPDATE: Padgett for Tsakalidis)

    Trade: Rudy Gay AND Stro Swift for Shane Battier?

    Yes, and this is true with or without the trade. As I said before, I feel this trade will mean more minutes and more strain on TMac and Yao and...

    Trade: Rudy Gay AND Stro Swift for Shane Battier?

    Trade: Rudy Gay AND Stro Swift for Shane Battier?

    Trade: Rudy Gay AND Stro Swift for Shane Battier?

    Swift was brought in last year to be a missing piece and complement Yao and TMac. Yao missed 25 games last year and TMac 35. I would like to see...
