    I would like Morey to pull off a trade for:

    Tim Hardaway jr...SG/SF...6’6”...23.3 pts.....3.5 rebs....2.9 ast....37% (3P%)....84.7% (FT%)....18.0 PER...$17.3M

    Or

    T J Warren .....SF.....6’8”......17.4 pts.......4.1 rebs.......1.3 ast....45.6% (3P%)...87.8% (FT%)....18.6 PER...$11.8M


    If eligible for trade. Tim Hardaway has payed in 20 games this season while TJ Warren has played in 18.
    Use the B Knight $14.6 M contract this year for Hardaway.

    The Rockets‘ primary focus is acquiring wing talent, sources tell Kelly Iko of The Athletic. The source described Houston’s intensity in searching for a trade as “not in emergency mode, but not sitting back either.”

    The Rockets have spoken to the Wizards about potential trades but no player has been involved in “deep discussions” yet. Iko speculates that Markieff Morris, Jeff Green, and Kelly Oubre Jr. would fit what Houston is looking for.

    Houston is also keeping an eye on the Cavaliers’ situation. Cleveland. J.R. Smith is currently on the trade block and the team could look to move other veterans before the trade deadline.

    If you want a deal right away, take JR Smith.

    Knight/1 First for JR today, then trade JR/1 First for a good player in February.

    It'd take 2 more months if you want Markieff Morris, Jeff Green, and Kelly Oubre Jr.

    While this is the focus don't be surprised if we bring in another ridiculous contract big man in our quest to get that wing talent without giving up our picks.

    Rockets were winning a lot of games without CP3 last year! If everything were good, the Rockets wouldn't have lost to the freaking CAVALIERS!

    I was fine with the injury excuse against decent competition, but when the Cavaliers take you down, then its time to reevaluate.

    I am certain he's trying to make moves behind the scenes but really, if they aren't drastic enough changes, I don't see how this team makes it into the playoffs.

    My prediction of our record by Dec 15th = 12-15 at best, won't be surprised if we're 11-16

    Come December 15th, I wouldn't mind seeing:

    Brandon Knight and a heavily protected 1st for Courtney Lee and Noah Vonleh
    Nene and Chriss plus two 2nds for Morris and Green

    Gives us more depth up front and Courtney with Eric Gordon in the 2nd unit would be serviceable.

    It is time to make a move for some quality vets through trade or free agency. We need somebody that can rebound (Kenneth Faried) and we need some wing players (SwaggyP and Brewer). We have no bench right now. Its time to play Zhou Qi too. I'm certain he can give me some rim protection at least.

    Also we need a backup point guard that can shoot.

    It may not be time to panic because still a long season ahead.
    Just have to make playoffs. The move that is made has to be a strong one and in time to jell.
    This season is a must win season the window is closing.
    Needs
    Bench help
    A pure 3pt% shooter
    More length and size.

    Not until after everyone's trade-eligible (Melo, MCW, other teams' players), so Dec. 15.

    Trade the picks and Gordon for Bradley Beal!

    Yeah he’ll make a move. I don’t know why he hasn’t forced another gm to trade with us yet. We could get LeBron... just waiting for him to bully the other gm’s

    The only Wiz trade that works is our trash for Porter so they can get 3 years of his bad contract off their books. Would necessitate us sticking them with 2 years of Knights bad salary so they would be saving significantly less than probably some other deals out there. Morris or Oubre would be preferable but they are more or less at the end of their contracts so why would Wiz downgrade a player when they are basically off the books after this year anyway.
