    Also got to give credit where credit is due, Rockets analytics team led by Eli Witus has been nothing short of superb when allowed to influence picks.

    Ok, if you don't consider getting to Game 7 of the WCFs "built anything," then please just be quiet about Stone until the Rockets have made the finals please. If the Rockets make the finals, then you can crap on Morey and sing praises of Stone all you want.

    CFs will never be happy about anything.

    didn’t see that. Then it’s a good move.

    With the two non- guaranteed years on the Zeller contract, both Jock and Zeller can be carried over into next yr as contract assets. That and the additional two 2nd rounders makes this a decent deadline. Don’t like losing Steveo and Tate at the end of the year for nothing. Not getting anything for Tate despite several decent offers over the years is disappointing. Three 2nds for half a healthy yr of Steveo is also not great. Would have been nice to recoup some value for those guys. But not horrible. It was a meh deadline for the rockets but I like picking up a couple of 2nds for nothing.

    You don’t think there’s a shot we extend Adams and Tate? I think it’s pretty possible. Particularly with Adams.

    sure it’s possible. But I dont think Tate is a rotational player on a contending team.

    There's been a leak of the Rocket's promotion for their first playoff game. First 3,000 fans get a 2nd round pick.

    Jock is being USED wrong, if he played a Pick and Pop game ala Bill Lambier he would be awesome as a backup.

    Zeller is a more athletic Adams, a decent rim protector and a lob threat......

    Lord, I hope not because only way Cody Zeller would get us to the 1st round is if he drove the damn bus.

    Stone is collecting SRP not giving them away.

    So negative. Some of y'all need to embrace God's little gifts rather than s**t on them.

    (dramatic pause)

    Oh my dear Lord are we praying for Brogdon or Simmons getting a buyout?
