    Um...on second thought...that's great.

    We cockblock the Spurs.

    Send a redflagged prospect down to hated Portland.

    And get a decent return.

    Hmm.

    My nut is safe.

    Batum was exciting and the fact Pritchard wanted him makes more exciting.

    That will be great if is true. Waiting to see Arthur's reaction to the trade

    So we could have bought that pick and kept Batum?

    Assuming Arthur is healthy, this could be huge!

    Thank God. Morey is taking advantage of Pritchard's addiction to trading. I am so glad to see we are not keeping this Batum kid.

    Did the Rockets already have a 2nd round pick before the trade?

    But Batum can't contribute immediately and we are in Win-Now mode!!!

    Great trade Morey!!!

    I'm so happy now!!! I was fuming over the Batum selecting now I'm so much happier than before!!!

    We can trust Morey to go safe. Talk about another screw up. Geez. Why in H do we need another undersized PF? Geez. Is this guy stupid, or what?

    We couldn't have bought it if Portland wasn't willing to sell it.

    Yeah... but with as many guaranteed contracts as they have, where would all these rookies fit on the roster?
