    True but I still believe this team can go deep in the playoffs with a go to player then you add Yao next year ......

    Yeah, giving Kelvin Cato a $6 million pay raise after 7 blocks in a freakin' preseason game took major balls. That Pippen trade did wonders for the Rockets.

    Morey sure didn't have balls when he traded Donte Greene and Omri Casspi for Ron Artest.

    An upgrade of some sort? Maybe a promising young player? Just because Morey doesn't make a major trade doesn't mean our season is lost, those 'smaller' moves are Morey's trademark after all.

    i'm not upset, butler is good but not gonna win us a championship. i'd rather have IGGY anyway, and if we can't get him either, then let's sign a player or two in the summer. just let the contract expire.

    if nothing happens, i might be a little upset because i believe with our current roster, we won't make the playoffs, even if we do, we'll be swept in the first round.

    if that's the case, wouldn't be better to tank and get a legit lottery pick. maybe a center? someone over 6'9?

    Whatever deal Morey decides to do will be preparations for 2010-2011.

    You were the epitome of Iguodala hatred and Butler penis envy.

    turns out the Rox actually want(ed) Iguodala...

    After all that garbage you typed about "nobody that works for the Rockets" is...what was the word? Stupid? Another interesting Reeko prognostication.

    I digress. Maybe you can move to Dallas and rent out Caron's new garage.

    I know I might be crucified for this blasphemous though BUT maybe DM's outta moves. Like I've posted everywhere else I still want Iggy and Amare (although less and less likely.)

    He also got us a bunch of horrible contracts that for years, hampered our ability to make serious moves at trade deadlines and in free agency.

    Jesus, the Mavs are in win-now mode and had a better offer on the table since the Wizards wanted to reload with a rotation player. Under the right circumstances, Butler's a nice player, but I think Morey's right not to throw in one of our young assets if other deals are out there. We'll see. It wouldn't surprise me if nothing significant happened since there is so much uncertainty about the possibility of a hard and reduced cap with the next CBA. I think Morey is working this like they did in Boston. They are collecting assets to make major moves. Caron Butler does not qualify as that.

    Why not Luol Deng? I know he has a big contract, but they could get a big ( Miller ) with him. It will be like the Phillie deal but with better scorers.
