    The dude shoots 20% from beyond the arc and Brian Cook is bench fodder. This makes no sense.

    I'm stunned - and this is a "careful what you wish for" situation for the Rafer haters. If you think our PG position improved, you're crazy.

    I'm praying this isn't a precursor to a Baron Davis deal going down.

    this trade only makes sense if Tmac goes to the Clippers for B.Davis.

    Horrible trade IMHO. However the skip haters are happy now.

    Exactly. Lets see what happens in a little. Could be prelude to something big.

    I hope you're right. How long does it take after the deadline for all deals to surface?

    It would not make sense for the Rockets to just mortgage the season like that.

    Did Orlando have the plan changing their GM? and Morey being their No.1 candidate?

    Not necessarily. I'm a Rafer hater and I don't get this at all.

    He can penetrate. With the loss of T-Mac, that's what the Rockets need.

    I cant imagine Morey making this trade without there being something more to it. Landry must be leaving for a good guard. I cant see this working out otherwise.

    Lowry sucks at 3s, he does not fit the system.

    It's appropriate for my first post...

    Good riddance to Rafer. Kyle Lowry is a beast. Young, active, and he hustles. No more weak floaters and edge of your seat inconsistent 3's from Flip.

    Flip, you were great setting up the O but you're better off playing street.

    We've got ourselves more toughness in the back court.

    Unless they decided the season was over anyway and these moves put them in a position to make a better deal later on. Morey did mention that possibility repeatedly.
