    I don't see how any of us can be certain that Aldridge is coming to Houston or if he is not coming to Houston. The Rockets have a good pitch, but so do some other teams and you never know what factors a free agent considers in making a decision.

    So, let's just follow the reports and let the story play out.

    I don't think you're reading his posts correctly. $13m was in reference to Bledsoe. And the players being thrown out in trade aren't for the purpose of saying what it'd take to get him. It's in response to your assertion that Ariza would have to be included as well just like LMA which isn't true. You wouldn't have to trade Ariza to make a salary match for bledsoes $13m. You'd have to include a ton of other assets but salaries would be much easier to come up with than LMA. Why you mad bro?

    OK. You're Pat Riley, you are offered Jones (Keep in mind you have Bosh AND Whiteside), Papanikalau, and Prigioni for Dragic. You make that deal?

    Players that make sense for this team
    1.Rodney Stuckey: Helps Houston at point guard a position they need and he has a lot of experience.
    2.llull or Vasquez: Great back ups and fills the position they need.
    3.Corey Brewer: He was big part of the reason the Rockets succeeded in the playoffs.
    4.David West: Solid back up PF

    Players that don't make sense
    1.Lamarcus Aldridge: Too much money and the Rockets won't be able to sign role players.
    2.Kevin Love: Like Aldridge he is too expensive and he is not healthy which is a concern.
    3.Draymond Green: I know they won't get him, but he is overrated and a midget.
    4.Carlos Boozer: WTF are they serious?

    I don't think Phoenix does the Bledsoe deal either. They'll get a better offer.

    I tend to agree...but it is possible.

    Because 95% of the chatter here is about LMA.

    Im talking from a fan perspective, not the actual front office.

    No but we're not talking about Dragic we're talking about Bledsoe

    I don't think they do either but that wasn't the point. You said you'd have to include Ariza and you don't. Maybe instead of trying to "raise us boys up" consider you might not have as firm of a grasp on how salary matching works with these trades my friend.

    He ain't coming here....don't see it happening
    Morley needs to focus on another facilitator not aimless courtesy visits.

    maw…why are you so fixated on Dragic…that was just a name that was originally thrown into the mix as an example of a position we should be going after.

    About 85% of the chatter in the NBA is about LMA. He's the top free agent. And we're meeting with him approximately now. Of course he's going to suck up all the air in the room.

    No problem talking about him…but the optimism is beyond realism.

    No, they are meeting him at a hotel. I think the same one they meet Howard at.

    Im sorry, but based on your peers recent feedback on your posts/replies, I can't give you any credibility.

    You seem like that one app on iTunes that 3000 ppl have downloaded, rated as a 1 star- then deleted.
