    When you find yourself on the same side of an argument as Charles Barkley, DDakota and BobbytheGreat, that should be a major red flag that you are on the side that stinks like poop.

    Rockets believe in their roster that it will move up.

    Well, that's not surprising. He is not very bright and his NBA analysis has comedic value but little substance.

    I'm okay with this as long as we trade T-Jones for whatever.

    Hopefully KJ gets some playing time to make him look good for whatever asset Morey wants to trade for next.

    Agreed.

    Not really sure what people expected to happen at the deadline.

    Is this the time of the year we all start talking about Lull again?

    Already past deadline, apparently not one single team wanted any part of Lawson, Jones, Brewer and Dwight. Our assets really do suck.

    They're not taking on Spencer Hawes $5 million salary next year ... because Spencer Hawes sucks?

    Maybe... maybe if someone offered a 1st round pick and all expirings that would be better than the other crap offered... but it doesn't appear anyone did that or if they did the pick wasn't that tempting. late 1st round picks aren't just not tempting, they can be liabilities, as they also have cap holds.

    Rockets decided to see if the JH/DH combo could shock some people in the playoffs, and even if unlikely, it's better than eating into cap space

    Obviously they tried to trade Dwight, but didn't get anything offered that wouldn't have made Charles say "I know what the hell the Rockets are doing trading Dwight Howard for that garbage".

    We're not. T-Jones is a restricted free agent this summer. Since we held onto him, we either resign him or he walks.

    Yes.

    All the middle-aged white men that lost D-Mo will now fap over Llull. :)

    We just traded away our third best scorer and 1st guy off the bench, hiiighly doubt we'll do sh** the rest of the season.
