    lol at harden moving without the ball getting the most traveling mileage out of any rocket with rondo here. yeah it's not going to happen. harden does what he wants. kevin isn't going to change that nor is rondo.

    RIP chandler. =(

    The rockets are a contending team, if they are trading Parsons away because they don't want to pay him, then this FO will never be able to contend for a championship. Therefore, I think the CP stuff might be to see his Market value. No way he gets traded.

    Parsons for a preinjury rondo, you make that trade all day but i just dont see morey making that trade for post acl rondo. Doesnt make sense to give up parsons unless its for a kevin love.

    It would be a huge gamble on Morey's part. Boston doesn't have any legit SFs to throw our way and I don't see Garcia, Brewer splitting Parsons' minutes.

    Whatever. Cyberx is some dude who heard in a weight room that the Rockets were hiring his bud for a strength coach. What a farce.

    Except for that fact that they are finally TANKING. SMH...obviously he was still important to them back then, when they had KG and Pierce.

    If they are leaking info, you'd think they'd leak it to Woj, Stein, Broussard, etc. Do they think the GMs for the King and Lakers read Clutchfans for Rondo info? :)

    Why attack the guy if he's trying to give is some kind of INFO ? Let's just hope it's a 3 team deal with jones involved that can wing another 1st to get maybe BASS + RONDO & not give up PARSONS.

    Since when has Morey's office leaked anything to the press? The place is a bank vault as far as information is concerned.

    lin+asik+2 1st round picks for rondo +(green or bass)

    would that be a good deal?

    Remember the last time Harden played with a ball dominant player that was as good as him? He went to the bench and got traded

    Morey must think Rondo puts us over the top if C Bang or draft picks are in the discussion.

    Perhaps leaking wasn't the right word lol...i meant...they called up another team and lied to them about Parsons and cyberx got the info from a source on that team.

    Maybe I don't understand NBA talent evaluation, but right now what Covington looks like to me is a strong, D-league prospect. He has not played any significant minutes in the NBA, and I just can't picture the Rockets be willing to send out their 3rd best player and glue-guy just because a D-league prospect seems promising.

    As for Rondo, I just don't see the fit. If the Rockets want to upgrade the PG spot, I'd rather see them get Ty Lawson (although I have no clue whether Denver is shopping him).

    All I know is Jones or Parsons is what Boston wants. Like I said a while back things will warm up. But even warm food gets cold. I still like my 65 to 70 chance this gets done. DM is a smart man. Trust him he won't give up a ranch for a cow

    Rocket Rondo got a nice ring to it.
