    So nothing again? Geesus you guys are depressing. You dont want anything. You just want nothing. Pathetic. Your right lets not try to get

    Nene
    Carmelo
    Chauncy
    Iggy
    Granger
    Cousins
    Wilson Chandler
    Gerald Wallace
    Chris Paul

    Lets just give up. Thats sounds good. :rolleyes: Morey is pathetic and you guys are right. He has zero shot of landing these guys because he is pathetic. I am considering starting a thread on how pathetic he is and how he has zero shot at doing the job he is piad to do and others do for winning teams all the time. Seems like Morey needs to be getting that thread love in the opposite direction of the positive kind now?

    At least tell us you want to rebuild and start saying that. There is no go for nothing at all position here. Its either rebuild and go all in or semi star and upgrades. Upgrades and rebuild? Not going for naything sounds like sissy talk to me.

    my expectation for morey is to DO SOMETHING BIG at the trade deadline. a small trade does NOTHING to help this team. sure, a small T-Will here and a flexible C-Lee is cute, but what's up with the Millers and the Scolas? Morey either has got to get a Iguodala at least at the trade deadline or he's got to get Carmelo for a rental. Failing that, he has to trade the vets for Rubio, etc.

    If no trade is made, it won't be because they didn't try. Very active.

    What big deals have happened this year, since off season? Why are people bashing Morey so hard. No body has done anything, nor will anything probably happen until the trade deadline. Here is my question though, would ya'll rather the Rockets get Melo, or some young promising talent. Go for maybe a second round playoffs this year, or something much bigger in the future?

    Comon, unreasonable? That is obsurd! Yes we need a center, yes we're undersized and yes guess what more importantly WE NEED A STUD! alright now if anything, anything at all i think we are all being too kind to morey about the whole situation. Just because players like Josh Smith, Danny Granger, Gerald Wallace, Andre Iguodala and Joe Johnson are listed as 'un-touchable' that is absolutely bull. You know what backs up my case? The fact that we literally have all the assests at every position.

    C.lee, T-will, J. hill, jeffries, bud and patterson. There all capable of starting on any other team in the nba. You can't tell me teams like the Cavs, Kings and raptors wouldn't start Williams, Lee or Bud for that matter. Put the peices of the puzzle together and we could potentially have a star wearing rockets red, but only if morey becomes extremely active as of now continuing to the deadline.

    So you're saying close to 50%? That may be a bit optimistic.

    I expect we will make a smart move.

    for sure. every one of morey's moves have been "smart".

    but I'm hoping Morey would just do a boneheaded move. Those "smart" moves are often more "Steve Francis to Memphis" than "Richardson for Carter".

    trading 2 of our best defenders for a terrible defender that is too skinny to guard small fowards is an absolutely terrible idea.

    I think it hilarious how people are so mad at Morey for not getting a 2nd tier star from a team. Considering how desperate the Rockets are for a star player, don't they realize that other teams also realize how important a star player is and won't give them him unless it is a Hershel Walker type deal?

    Yao brings in a lot of money for the Rockets, but I don't think it is enough to bribe another team's administration into doing what we want them to do.

    Nene or Dalembert are the best options to be the band-aid in the paint for the Rockets. We need a player to disrupt and alter shots.
