    So DD will be a bad boy fan now. Watching their games? You must know that their playing style is very ugly. Good defence but pnr and bricks gallore.

    I'm with you, but you aren't able to sign your name off properly anymore. It has been a long day for rockets fans tbh (to all my brethren in red).

    Two teams both one game out of the 8th seed, one tries to get better one tanks, which is REALLY trying to win?

    Significantly worse lol

    We traded a mediocre player for a mid 1st round pick.

    We traded a 2nd round pick to dump a bad player for tax relief.

    You think Joel Anthony was a good player?

    We traded DMo for a mid, first round draft pick. Same thing happened to Enes Kanter last year, who was in the same RFA position and DMo and puts up bigger numbers (18/11 when OKC traded a worse, 1st rounder for him). Do you *always* have to create hyperbole and flat out falsehoods to make your point.

    Such a lame posting style.

    So instead of DMO only fans coming here and becoming Rocket fans, now we have a Rocket fan becoming a DMO only fan.


    He wasn't a mediocre player. Starting caliber pfs with all around games and elite specific skillsets and the potential to become 3rd wheels are much more than mediocre. Mediocre is someone like Taj Gibson.

    We traded our 2nd best offensive player for cap room, you moron.

    I don't think it's as bad as some people are making it out to be, but regardless of bad back, the odds of a low 1st rounder > Dmo are slim. And the move was to cut $$$$, I believe he was a RFA (correct me if I'm wrong) we didn't have to do anything today, sold as low as we could have.

    You're so stupid mad, you didn't even get signature right..."DS"

    So, you are going to root for our Draft Pick get worse, by hoping DET wins a lot this year.

    Enes Kanter also had a historically bad defence. He's a player off the bench not a starting caliber C.

    And other RFA got much better hauls..for example Knight. (high first rounder).
    It was a sell low move, and if DMO was healthy you know that he would have brought much better back. And if Morey had moved earlier on draft night he also would have brought a better haul.
    And if DMO gets healthy he will be worth much more than a low first rounder even with a good contract.

    Bingo, last second order from Les to cut costs is what is most likely. I don't think Darryl was on board with it too much tbh, as much as I criticize him.

    Like I said, I know enough about who you are as a human being ( what you look like, what you sound like, what you do for a living) and I feel bad for you because everything is crashing down on top of you. I know it really is eating at you.

    Go ahead and take your shots. I hope they make you feel better.

    I know my team is significantly worse and our GM is clueless in how to build a team.

    Yippee!
