Certainly not overwhelming... and nothing needle moving since .. what, 2012? We've known since preseason ---- Eric Gordon for Ricky Rubio.
A few winners in there a few sideways moves. Nothing earth shattering a lot of low risk high draft picks that did not pan out..... History is a good indicator of the present so I would not expect a lot here. DD
I agree. The effort is there, just no major moves. It takes two to tango as they say. Maybe this year there is a team willing to make a move with us. I feel like Morey and Les may prefer to make their big moves in free agency when they can have a lot of time to plan it out. It's not like we are in desperation mode and need to make a big gamble. Just looking for that right 'tweak'.
I have a feeling it's just gonna be turd swappin this year, which I'd be totally fine with.... sometimes you never when a flower might blossom.....

I feel like Marcus Morris would be good on this team in this system. Would be a good backup PF. Timing I guess....
Need context. Since 2012 has been positioning for cap space for free agent (turned put to be Dwight). Moves that didn't make sense now eg 2Pat for Thomas Robinson was because Robinson was still deemed to have more potential then and was probably a better asset for a trade.
I don't see anything major coming this year either. I see a small trade where they dump Brewer with a 1st attached for a cheap wing shooter (i.e. McDermott or Bogdanovic). Rockets are going to be a major player in free agency, need to keep their cap flexible.
Smart point, yes. Still, I will be shocked (in a good way) if we manage to wrangle a great rotation player out of someone this year. I do think Morey will make a move simply because he won't not make a move. Boo! C'mon 2011! Dragic (extra ball-handler) and Demarre Carroll (hard-nosed forward) on this current team would be exactly what we are shooting for, ironically.
