is it possible Morey is a compulsive trader? These moves make little sense. We give up 2 back up pts and get an ancient mariner -- and a young wing player who might be good in the long run, but in all this we also give up 3 2nd round picks. I don't see how team is better this year or how this helps for the future.
Not as high as Thomas, bone headed, Robinson. TJones is a proven scorer. His legs look mightily fine. He would fit Denver perfectly.
We got better marginally. But everyone else (OKC, Blazers) got a lot better than we did. So, in comparison with everyone, we got a lot worse. Like the guy above me said, all these players get moved who we could have needed sorely, and instead we got next to nothing.
This place is for illogical knee jerking and negativity. Take your level headed take and positive spin and git out!
Well, if we get a healthy Dwight back then we'll be better than those teams. Seeing as how we have not played with a Healthy Dwight all year.
Quit with the ****ing negativity. All of it is based on speculation - we acquired a backup point guard that can take care of the ball and hit the trey with the second unit. Can we at least wait to see if things back fire in our face before making such harsh comments about the team you say you're a fan of? Its absolutely ridiculous. It's like no matter what happens people will have something to complain about and when it isn't warranted it becomes incredibly annoying over time.
I am still a rockets fan but definitely not going to be invested like i have been anymore. To me they do not care about winning a championship. As long as they are in the running to the fans they are making money and thats all they care about. second year in a row we dont go all in. We were already at best 5th or 6th best team. Now teams behind us load up and we do nothing. I consider the moves we made completely pointless and do nothing to win this year. This is the last year I spend the week pressing f5 believing morey makes a huge move to win a championship. If we over achieve great ill watch and ill cheer. But I am done following every move and every step. This was such a huge waste of time.
From BimaThug's Twitter. Now this makes some sense to me: I know this deadline was a relative let-down for Rockets fans, but look at what they actually did (all w/o moving any rotation pieces)....HOU upgraded from a high 2nd rdr to a 1st rd-caliber wing talent (McDaniels) at the cost of a PG the coach wasn't playing anyway.....Rockets may have gotten their future backup (or maybe even starting!) SF, which mitigates damage if (when?) Corey Brewer leaves in FA.......HOU also gets a PG who is a good 3-pt shooter & (even at 37) can still get after it on D (a relief for those wary of Terry's D)......and (as mentioned previously) Rockets get NG'teed salary next year to use in trades, ALL while keeping D-Mo, Jones & NOP & NYK picks.
T-Jones has no trade value right now. If he can regain his form from last season and give the Rockets some solid minutes the rest of the year, then he'll fetch something in a trade this summer. At the moment, you'd be insane if you were an NBA GM and gave up anything of value with him as the centerpiece in a deal. I guess Morey is gonna see what this team can do(assuming Dwight returns) and then reevaluate things this offseason. I am grateful he didn't panic and give up D-Mo in any trades.
The Dragic 3 way was with New Orleans, not Milwaukee to get Knight. Completely wrong. John Salmons was the throwback in that deal. Salary filler.
Ugh. Please don't say we're gonna lose Brewer. I have a bad feeling we will(thanks to Morey's obsession with "flexibility"), but that's gonna suck.
Again, Dragic cost two protected 1sts 2 and 4 years away. Far less valuable than DMo or the #13 pick this season.
