    Man considering all the rumors that were out there and how active Morey is this is a huge disappointment. YES, I like the trade for Camby but overall we are still a team that will get obliterated in the 1st round. I for one am disappointed.

    There's still more time. Deadline is always pushed back if teams are closing in on deals.

    Just because your clock hit 2:00, doesn't mean for certain that we're finished.

    Always funny to see some posters are more concerned about a splashy trade then making the team better for a play-off run today.

    Something small might have been submitted, but we didn't land anyone big and that's the point. Does Les still believe the Rockets can become better via trade?

    NBA will give teams some leeway to work beyond the 3 pm deadline if they alert the league that they are closing in.

    I'm feeling the same. Camby is good but no game changer for the team. We just added a little more dept. Still have a whiny Kevin Martin and probably gonna lose Dragic this offseason for nothing.

    If this is it, can't believe Martin wasn't traded. Maybe Feigan was right, his value was too low to trade. If it was like last year, maybe he comes on after the trade deadline. Then we can move him in the summer.

    Camby, Fisher, and we upgrade a 2nd round pick to a 1st round pick in exchange for Hill, Thabeet, and Flynn.

    Sounds like a net plus.

    If you want to get angry about his strategy, then by all means do so. BUT AT LEAST wait until an appropriate time period has passed.
    Takes a minimum of 5 years to get to contender status by tanking. This is year 1 of Les' "trade/FA" strategy. And it's not even over - he's still got 2-3 1st round picks in the upcoming draft + max FA salary available.

    the thing that makes me furious is that we lost aaron brooks for nothing by not getting something for Dragic. terrible management
