    You don't think the Rockets would be stupid enough to trade for Dwight at the trade deadline next season, do you? They would have like three months to convince Dwight to stay. The Rockets wouldn't do something that stupid, would they?

    I like it that we are getting ride of all of our "known" quantities now and replacing with unknowns with higher potential upside. Wouldn't be surprised if Scola was next.

    You are forgetting one important fact...........MIA had this guy, he wears #3. I think his name is Wade or something like that. But yea he was the reason for LBJ's interest in the HEAT. We don't have a player on the roster that is even worthy of carrying #3's dirty socks.

    Morey said we're never going to tank. So we're not going to tank. There's more big trades coming.

    Are we completely out of the Eric Gordon sweepstakes? Love to trade Kmart and some of these other scrubs for Gordon

    Obviously not the way he wanted. But he couldn't altogether control that. Dragic was an UFA.

    Yea they saved all these money but there is no stars out there in the market. The major stars like Lebron, Wade, Melo have already landed permanently at their destination. Howard is not in for money and he only want to play where he want so that's not good. Kobe is not going anywhere. SO the only way Houston can get better is if they can find a Lebron through Draft picks.

    We have cap space. If DM can't use it paying players what they're worth, he'll just do some one-year deals, and take another shot the next year. It's a valuable commodity, has more than one way to be used. Morey isn't going to flop around on the deck like a lot of CFers want him to.l

    Could have offered the player option, but obviously preferred flexibility over dragic.

    What did we use the Memphis pick on, and what did we use the Phoenix pick on?
