we need to move some of these role players for the simple sake of giving them a shot to play. why is lee not playing more minutes, why is PPat not playing more minutes, why is T williams not playing at all? move some of these guys so the PT opens up and we see what we really have talent wise. williams is a damn star just waiting to bust on the scene. i pray adleman is goine after this year.
If I was Cleveland I would be reluctant to trade my first round pick too, that could very well be the #1 pick
no i am saying lets make a legit move and lets NOT make a a move jsut to make one. Lee to chicago is stupid. that is a move jsut to amke one. lee is great talent. Battier to the celtics is not equitable either but being a celtics fan i woudl rather see that than just move Lee for the sake of doing so. at thiss point i would jsut like to see what T Will can do and get him some god damn PT. god this team is frustrating me.
Really? Who cares? What the deal with Wallace on here? I know he's a nice player but he's 29 and starting the twilight of his career, which is not the type of player the Rockets should be going after. The Rockets should be going after guys who will (hopefully) be part of a championship-calibur team in 2-3 years. He doesn't qualify. Sorry.
What the heck is Portland always doing in our koolaide? They dont have any scouts of their own so they always go after our ideas?

I understand what you mean. But you do agree that in order to make a "legit move" we have to have another team willing to move a good player on their team that we want and they want what we are willing to give up.... sometimes trades are not as easy as people think. Just cause NY gave up 5 players to get Melo (which i dont think is a good trade) or the nets sending a good young prospect and 2 first round picks (maybe Utah we ready to move d-will with the threat of him moving anyway and they probably didnt want him in the west going forward) means we had a chance and just didn't get involved.
Throw in Brooks + T-will together if they have to but please please get Batum in a Rockets jersey... <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/-jBk-UWX7To?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Portland is to Houston what NJ is to NY; interfering with our business and driving up the price. The parallels between the franchises are striking. Both had an allstar SG and a franchise C struck down with injuries. Both have aggressive GMs and rich owners willing to spend, and to make bold trades.
Would you like Lee for Taj Gibson? Maybe Morey is telling them "if you really want Lee, you got to give up atleast Gibson". Like he did with NY and got Hill thrown in..

I would be thrilled if we could get Batum. Younger and cheaper player than Wallace. Perfect guy for Shane to pass the torch along to.
Lol, what the heck?? Unless you ARE Dwight Jaynes, that's really weird. It's like he's talking directly to us!
Haha, I know. I'm just messing around. You have to admit it's kind of funny there's a tweet directly answering the question at hand though.....it was like clockwork.
That song always makes me think of Ferris Bueller's Day Off . Instrumental version in the movie, but still.
Trade for Captain Jack, hes the closer ROX are looking for! 1) S. Jackson for 2) C. Lee, J. Jeffries and 2nd round pick
