    Good. That means we'll get Covington for nothing.

    Yeah same.

    He really deserves it. So im happy for him, even if it is bittersweet to lose him as a rockets fan.

    I was wondering when a team was finally going to hire him...I wish it was a better situation than at Minnesota, but oh well, I hope he kills it over there

    I mean it sucked under thibs for sure, but I dont thing it's a horrible situation totally.

    Only issue is the Wiggins contract. They have youth and draft picks going forward along with a young allstar/superstar that could be great.

    I'm pretty sure Rosas is going to kick ass. He is getting to work with a young coach. He probably will start revamping that team quick and getting rid of all the deadweight. It's going to be hard to move Wigging but I bet he can find a sucker out there.

    Good for Gersson, he absolutely deserves it.

    It's the downfall of having a great, successful FO staff: your underlings get poached, we've seen this with the Stros for a couple of years now.

    Hell no.

    So we can see him get abused against GS on switches.

    Elton Brand will get hired by A-Rod and he'll bail Morey out by trading for Simmons. Beasley, Prince, Beverley and a couple of 1sts for Simmons ain't all that bad considering they get two wing players that can actually score and shoot the 3. Bev can be their Jack Haley.
