    I don't know which of my emotions wins: disgust (at the wasted #16 pick) or delight (that Morey was willing to do whatever it took to get rid of that mistake). Someone I love has a significant social anxiety disorder, has to take medicine, but still has the discipline to excel professionally. Which starts with showing up for work. I suspect poor Royce has a personality disorder on top of his other problems.

    Morey and Les must have been really irritated to move Royce...that they paid Hinke the salary...just to move the clown...thank you Daryl #alliswell

    Actually his whole life is about the butt. His own butt, other butts, whatever butts he can get his hands on

    How did we get that pick anyway? Was that the Dalembert trade?

    Okay after this thread, I hope nobody should post anymore RW news as he is now a 76ers and was NEVER a Rocket to begin with.

    Morey has done this plenty of times. Heck, he got rid of Francis the same way. And that was just to get under the tax line IIRC. And this goes on around the league often. Heck, Boston paid Memphis to take Fab Melo off their books.

    No matter who we picked at 16, it was clear that one of DMo, Jones, or #16 pick would've been gone to make room for Howard. If anything, it just made things clear.

    Plus, if Zeller was chosen by the Rockets, the next Hitler would be born so you definitely don't want to mess with the past.

    hahaha, Hinkie OWNED Morey in this trade! Doing this is VIRTUALLY UNHEARD OF, stupid Morey could never dream of being in the drivers' seat of this kind of deal


    oh except when NYK gave him Toney Douglas who served us well and got made expendable by a guy who was toiling away in Russia for some reason

    That`s what he said before last season. At the end of last season he was askes: "could you imagine flying 30+ times a year" - his answer was: "hell no."

    Royce White`s NBA career was over the second he decided to go on a "mental health protocol"-crusade and stopped caring about treating the team that drafted him fair and doing everything that is necessary to be a professional basketball player.

    There is no new information here. We've known these details since the trade happened.

    When will Sheridan do an article revealing that we got Dwight to sign here by giving him a max contract?
