    Claims Blake Griffin overrated, and he does not want.

    There's that word again.

    "Turn."

    We don't need to turn around, we just need to turn the corner.

    Griffin would be a perfect fit ... but we will dream . Okafor would be closet to realistic and that's stretching it .

    Wasn't Zach the one piece Minny refused to trade in a deal for Jimmy Buttler?

    If that's the case I really don't ting he's realistic at all

    Chicago wanted Lavine AND the rights to Dunn. I think Minny was offering Rubio and Dunn.

    Would somebody not? I don't pay good money so I won't have to read the REAL DEAL stuff. I don't like spoilers. ;)

    Depending on how the Pacers and Hawks do this season, Millsap or PG might become available, though I am not sure we have the assets those teams would want. Rubio is also realistic, though I personally would not want him. There are also Dragic, Lowry, Kanter, and Embiid.

    I will always believe in fans and their urge to be great.

    Can't say the same things for management and the team.

    Corners, pages should be turned and turned around.

    Great idea!

    What happened to Josh Smith? Maybe we can resign him and then in December trade Prigioni and Josh Smith for Blake Griffin and Chris Paul?

    He doesn't want Griffin - his sauces are probably not hearing that the Rockets are interested in Griffin.

    Griffin to HOU confirmed!!! :cool:

    Zhou Qi. Now serious, this kid is real money, much better prospect than Yi Jianlian. Wait and enjoy.

    There is nobody who this team could trade for that would/could help the Rockets be actual Title contenders THIS season. Too many holes and not enough assets. They could, probably, make trades to get them on the right path for 1-3 years down the line, but Les would rather pay guys to keep the Rockets as a 1st or 2nd round exit team sitting at home in June these next few years, instead of building and developing a team that would be sitting at home in June but with more potential to grow. How much better can Gordon, Anderson, and MDA get? Championship level, which is the goal, I dont think so.

    But despite all that, I still love the Rockets and even though I think they are going about building a CHAMPIONSHIP team the wrong way, Ill still watch them and hope the people who are paid to do that for a living prove me wrong. Id LOVE to be wrong, in this instance.
