    Yes, because if there's any area where the Rockets need help desperately, it's a 3rd string PG.

    Well we will see how that effects our Knicks draft pick position as well. Smart guys.

    Well to be fair you only waited 2 minutes between your first post and 3rd post.

    Yeah we should have kept Lin just in case the Knicks get him right? You know, just in case one in twenty nine teams decide to pick him up.

    I know you're a halfwit, so probably arguing is useless

    However

    Doesn't it make Morey look BETTER that Lin went off?!?!
    We have 3 PGs on the roster making over $11 million combined. Then Morey goes ahead and picks up a Golden State reject?!? What the heck is he doing bringing in a 4th string PG?!?!

    Well obviously the minimum salary guy got cut, but hey - at least we saw Morey isn't a complete idiot because that guy who we brought in as the 4th PG on the roster can actually play a little bit! Great news.

    Oh, and for what it's worth, against New Jersey (same team Lin went off against) Flynn has played 2 games, scored 40 points, dished 7 assists, got 6 steals, and 5 rebounds. And he did that in less pro rated minutes than Lin.

    1 game = 1 game right? At least Flynn averaged 13.5ppg and 5 apg over a season, if Lin ever does that this discussion between the 2 of them might be worth having?

    Without Lin, Knicks were on track to get a top 5 pick.

    Remember the pick we get from them is Top5 protected.

    Pretty sure your comments belittle themselves. You think Morey is an idiot.... Got it. But with you its all complaints with no resolutions. What Logically would you do that makes sense to get the team to a championship level other than telling the players to kick the ball out of bounds to loose games on purpose???

    Its all about how Morey is an idiot, but you dont have any better options to offer the franchise. I dont like some of the moves that he made now that we are looking back in the past, but in hinesight they all were logical moves to make at the time.

    If you are that bitter and angry in life that you channel this much energy in finding fault in someone who is doing his job to the best of his ability, then its time to move on to other hobbies dude. Its not healthy.

    Thats what you all say for every excuse. I just call it like I see it. When Morey gets us into the exciting deal where the Rockets have a good future I will be swayed to say differently. Right now its an average team. Average young talent and average older talent. Nothing really sticks out about them.

    Some of you dont get it. The IQ level in clutchfans is not that high.

    I said something exciting. Which does not mean Durant or Kevin Love. That could mean anything.

    IE:high draft pick, young talented guys to be excited about with very high upside, multiple first round picks(that are not already busts), a allstar type player, a high playoff seeded type team.

    You do realize trades involve more than the wishes of the Rockets and Morey right? Why in world would other teams trade young talented guys with high upsides, high draft picks, and all star players? You do know when we call Morey "a wizard" we don't actually think he has magical powers right?

    I realize Jeremy Lin helped the Knicks win their next game completely on his back like the last game. Whats that? Two games straight off of another Morey bad decision?

    Oh no Jeremy Lin has had 2 good games playing at the last position we need help at. Sound the horn, get your pitchforks, light your torches, were running Morey out of here!!!!

    Yeah you dont get it. Neither do some of your clutchfan brethren. Enjoy the middle first round pick.

    How do you know, did you hand out a survey? What a moron.

    Considering Morey is not allowed to tank and his job is to maintain a "competitive team" he is doing a good job. And really, criticise him for holding onto battier for too long? They were still trying to win games... the Heat love having him as well.

    List all of his drafts and trades and you'd have to realise he is doing more good than harm.

    You also do not have any suggestion for a replacement either, which seems to be common course for all of these "I don't like Morery" threads.

    Just stop already guys. Coming off a losing streak and Lin is killing you. Enough with the arguments you guys dont have on your side. At least make them when you have bullets in your gun for me. Allow the Rockets to get into one playoff game first. Until then its only hurting you posters to keep sticking up for average production.

    There is no point. I get it if everyone sold out their games we could come out no better than 26th. However that in no ways stops us from having a higher average attendence for each and every game than other clubs who also do not sell out their arenas every day like we dont.
