    If this is true than it's on Morey. Trade him for a 1st rounder and now wants to trade him where he might now even get equal value back.

    Rick Adelman should be back. Morey should be gone.

    Just get whatever the team can get for him. It would not be much as the 1st round pick the team gave up but for damage control, get something BACK!

    Anthony Randolph was being offered for a first round pick...The Rockets should have traded for him instead.

    That's a lottery protected pick, right? Which means the Rockets keep the pick if they don't make the playoffs next year.

    I thought Avery Johnson was a young and hungry coach, but I guess I was wrong. Were he really young and hungry, he would have played Terrence more. The fact is, Avery is just a young fat and happy coach just like Adelman is old fat and happy.

    I doubt they would like to take a chance on it though....but if they did an he turned out of be a borderline all-star it would be the second time that the bobcats have taken a player who didnt play much under RA ad turned him into a borderline all-star(Gerald Wallace)

    I don't think NBA teams are that interested in T-Will to give up a lottery protected 1st for him. We'll most likely end up stuck with him. In other words, T-Will is going to be playing for RGV until he gets his head on straight...

    Or He becomes a cap filler on a trade that would bring the team a building piece for the future.

    Point me to where Aaron Brooks was, and I quote "players who are sucky headcases now before they potentially get more exposed for being sucky headcases in the future" when he still had value.

    In other words, tell me when Brooks was sucking for us but somehow Morey could pawn him off for a lot of good stuff.

    Well, if you believe the draft rumors, then Morey tried to package Brooks for a higher pick every year.

    How bout the next best thing: Rasheed Wallace. The guy knows ball. Probably would lead the league in techs, even as a coach.

    Signing Brad Miller, though I think it was Adelman pushing him to do so.

    A future lottery protected 1st and JT were not a lot to give up for T-Will who's a solid defender and had a few 20+ point games last season. We took a risk on being able to straighten him out and it failed...take that with all the risks that have panned out well. No one bats a thousand.

    Part of the rebuilding process.

    The context of the trade for TWill was the team was going nowhere (late Dec-early Jan). Inconsistent production from the SF position from Shane and Bud. Yes, you've got your team of high-character guys but you're not going anywhere. So Morey decides to go to his next move--high upside guys but greater risks (see TWill and Thabeet).

    TWill was supposed to answer our need for an athletic wing who can play both ends of the court. During the few minutes TWill had his head on, he showed excellent passing skills. If we are patient to grow him, we play TWill when we want to iso and let the players adlib.

    The trade could still work out but the ball is on TWill's court now.
