    Ric Bucher: Luxury tax concerns could put a damper on magnitude and volume of deals, but it's guaranteed Rockets' roster will be different on March

    No kidding. I don't think it's any secret, based on the way the roster is comprised and Morey's history, that we won't do something at the deadline.

    Whose luxury tax concern? Houston is not near tax level. Maybe a trade partner like Boston or LAL?

    Me too. Kyle continues to do something that Pau Gasol hasn't done in years....Improve. And for less than 7 million.

    As much as I'd love to make a major trade, I'll be happy if we just got another decent big like Kaman. Trying to keep my expectations in check this year lol.

    (yawn) of course DM the GM is proactive. However, I heard somewhere it takes two to tango, in the NBA sometimes three or more...

    That's really all we need. Kaman would definitely help this team. I don't know why it is taking them so long to make the move.

    I could not agree more. Kaman would cost us Hill/Twill/Flynn and maybe someone like Bud. Get that **** done already. We are getting ass raped in the paint. Morey please for the sake of the fans, do something about that!

    As much as I would love that.. What would it cost us? I'd hate to get Howard here and have gut half the team. Unless we can get Dwill in here. Imagine the possibilities with Dwill/Howard playing and Morey's greatness in the draft.. We would be dominating in 2 years

    Kind of what I thought too. No kidding the Rockets roster will be different... very clear they will make some kind of move, even if it's small. I guess it's interesting he said it, but stating the obvious. My initial question was -- did any Rocket fan not know that?
