    for a guy that Morey cut lulz....

    Over the past two years, he has carved out one of the best teams in the history of the game that needed just some minor tweaks. Instead, he has weakened the team move after move since then...

    That is one of the worst, most lopsided trades I have ever seen.

    That's all? Did we just treat Capela like Brandan knight, Ryan Anderson???

    Robert Covington is our starting center I guess. Go Small or go home...

    The Rockets defense just improved.

    It’s late so I could be not thinking straight but I don’t think the money fits.

    At least one other move will be made, likely two.

    Actually that was probably for LTS reasons. You guys didn't think Tillman would actually pay the tax, did ya lol? We got to unload Greens and Nenes dead money.

    Hoping there's more. Also hoping there are some pretty stout protections on the pick.

    This sounds bad right now.

    What the hell? Capela/Nene/Green/1 FRP for Robert Covington? We need another center or a FRP to flip for one...
