    Good.

    I was starting to get worried that maybe that the Trob deal got out there and the Kings got a better deal...

    Or that Stern was like "Nope **** this ****." and cancelled the trade...

    actually those are still good odds for them to catchup considerring how many games are left... we could go 15-20 and they could go 20-15 and pass... doesnt seem like mutch but its enough...

    The Rockets lost one of their few plus defenders by trading away Patterson. I hope they manage to get some interior defensive help before the deadline tomorrow.

    Hope his contract gives him a bonus for it!

    T Rob, moti, jones, and white. That's too many young developing Pfs. Something is going to happen tomorrow.

    Hopefully we can pick up a backup 1 or 2
    Rip and Nate Robinson would be a great pick up.

    Yes. Both players have a team option for next year as well. Garcia offers some veteran help, and they can send Honeycutt down to the D-League for a couple weeks to see what they have in him. I thought he had some decent potential in his draft class, and he was in a terrible situation there in Sacramento.

    Wow welcome back to the board DD.

    From a purely analytical standpoint:

    1. Sacramento Trade: Thomas Robinson was number 2/3 last year in ALL mock drafts, except for those few who had the guy pistons took at 2nd. Amazing deal for us, and another head scratcher for Sac, unless they want to appease Cousins.

    2. Marcus Morris trade for 2nd rounder.....??? Total Head scratcher, unless this draft was deep MM has more value than a 2nd.


    The only reason I can think off for the 2nd trade was to free up space for DMO/TJ. I guess all the conspiracy theorists are right, the main reason DMo and TJ weren't getting PT was so Dmorey could offload PP and MM for picks. I can't believe we got Thomas Robinson though, this guy didn't get off to a good start but his work ethic and Bball IQ was great according to almost all college sources.

    I feel bad for the Kings' fans, the Maloofs are terrible. For some reason this video sticks out in my mind:

    Didn't know the NBA season was 91 games?

    Rockets playoff odds are good with the easiest schedule of any of the teams in the 6-10 range. This is a different team than that of the last few seasons. I don't see a collapse coming.
