    Zeller is a scrub’s scrub. I watched his highlights from last year and had to turn it off. He’s awful!!!

    It’s clear the Rockets don’t care. I had higher expectations of the billionaire Fertitta. Rockets are 1.5 games out of being the 7th seed and everybody else improved. It would be funny/sad if we drop down to the play-in or even out of the playoffs. Starting tonight we should play Reed and Cam 30 minutes a game and at least get those guys ready for next season. Quit the fake mirage of acting like we are a contender.

    Didn't the billionaire just pay 8M to get two 2nd rounders?

    Sure, get mad all you like, but Vucevic and Cam Johnson didn't even get traded....
    What was the "biG huge deal" that was turned down?

    As of right now we lack a 1A, so cannot be a contender. Nobody offered us one, and trading good assets for a 2nd or 3rd option is bad business.
    Go to the playoffs.
    Play the young guys.
    See how they thrive
    Invest in them or combine and upgrade

    No sane person would expect all srps pan out to be useful players, much less the jokers of the world. But one hundred bills sure are nice. Dimes and nickels can come handy too.

    LOL one WCF appearance in 13 yrs is supposed to be a crowning achievement for you? What about all the one and dones in the playoffs? Just discount all that and make the one hit wonder the standard for a good GM?

    I dont need to crap on Morey the results in Philly speak for themselves. If you love Morey so much just follow the Sixers. Ask Sixers fans what they think of Morey's work so far.

    Cody Zeller did not play a down for Hawks, does he even suit up for Rockets?

    A few years ago everyone complained about Fertita using draft capital to save money via trades. Now he is making the opposite: he is paying millions to players that will not play, to have draft capital to improve the future, and people still complain?

    As potential trade filler yeah

    Marjon might be worth a tire kick but from his angle we have to be amongst the worst situations as a team with ridiculously redundant wing depth.

    I'd take him 100 times out of 100 over worthless Cody Zeller.

    Seriously. Dude is a joke. This team has obvious holes that could have been fixed by giving up useless 2nd rounders but dude is scared to do anything that can be evaluated right away. It's why the clown keeps preaching about patience, young core and is obsessed with draft picks. Dude literally shows up for the draft and doesn't do **** for the other 11 months. He's so lucky to be working in a city that doesn't give two ***** about the basketball team and casual fans think he's doing a good job. This team is going nowhere with dude.
