    Gortat has been a double double with 1.5 blks in Phoex with 25 mins a night. He's 26,7 fter, making mle money. The Suns have played well since the trade.

    I know this is may be a wrong time since there seems to be a growing sentiment of anti-Morey around here, but anyone feel like that GMs are beginning to think that their players must be really good cause Morey wants them? No GM wants to be another Donnie Walsh (even though he looks pretty good now), so they avoid dealing with Morey altogether.

    NeNe wants 5 year deal for 60 Mill

    NeNe is no where near the level of Horford or Noah. In his dreams. I would be happy offerring him 5 year $40 Mill.

    I wonder if Morey would sign him for that much out of desperation of Denver rejects NeNes offer?

    Wow .... thats a horrible deal for the Rockets. It might make a contender out of NYK and Cleveland gets a ton of cap space while cutting dead weight with the picks being icing on the cake.

    Well technically, the Rockets haven't had a losing season since '05-'06. This year is TBD...

    I hate people that try too hard. (But if they are in a Rockets uniform, it's okay.)

    :p

    lol. i feel like this was also posted in another thread. i was at work and had to leave but i almost stayed after work just to read how that was going to play out.

    seriously, this is a horrible trade. i hate anyone who supports it and i pity whoever sat down long enough to create it.

    no doubt, one of the worst ever proposed on this board. i beg for someone to justify this trade by matching up what we lose to what we get....please god.

    just utterly trash.

    No. David Lee is a white Luis Scola.

    Um ... I don't know how much of David Lee you've seen but he's not Luis Scola. He's a monster rebounder and he plays defense. I think he had like 19 rebounds and 3 steals the other week against OKC. When's the last time Scola had 19 rebounds?

    David Lee has a bad contract and he sucks at defense.
