    Plan B should include stop getting played and used for leverage. I kept saying, Jimmy is playing us and everyone kept saying, Rox can't be used for leverage because we're over the cap blah blah. Fools please, Morey got used and abused by someone who had no intention of ever coming to Rox by evidence of the fake meeting set for Monday when he knew he would already be signed. LOL, facking embarrassing.

    Plan B should include stop acting like teenage girls swooning over and chasing older boys (big names) and run a FO that includes some dignity and strategy.

    Plan B should include speak softly and carry a big stick instead of this shouting snake oils salesman act we've been seeing.

    Marcus Morris has a bit of a knuckle head reputation with teams, but I still cannot see him signing for anything remotely like what the Rockets can offer. It would take a type of sign and trade. I personally would gladly move Gordon for him in the right situation.

    He's out of options. Who is giving him money at this point?

    Both would be great.

    Both we cannot afford.

    Interesting title and this song perfectly lines up with the theme.


    Morey to The Rockets fans:

    Morey: I don't wanna hear the rumors, please don't say it loud
    I just wanna go out tonight and make my baby proud

    Fans: Boy, who's your baby?

    Morey: Girl, if you don't know by now




    Morey to Tilman, Tad and MDA.:

    The rush is on to somewhere else, we're running out of time
    Everything was ours, now it's just an empty mine

    Morey to Capela and Eric:

    I want to put things back together
    I wanna give, I don't wanna take
    Time to disavow the gold rush
    And the bitterness that's flourished in its wake

    it seems Rockets getting weaker than previous year...new trend

    Rockets (2017-18) >>>>>>> Rockets (2018-19) >> Rockets (2019-20)

    If it were upto me...and it there is no significant trade ...with the MLEs I would try to sign realistically:

    1. JaMychal Green
    2. Seth Curry

    then my starting 5 would be:
    CP3/Harden/PJ (at SF) /JGreen/Capela
    bench:
    EG/Seth/Shump(if resigned)/House/Faried(would need to resign for vet min)/Hartenstein/Green

    JaMychal Green and Danny Green would look pretty good at this point, especially alongside Gerald.

    I just saw Woj's latest tweet, and when I read, "Free agent guard Michael Carter-Williams has agreed to a one-year deal..." I momentarily panicked.

    I'm mobile right now so cannot dig deeper.

    Teams with the full MLE?

    The Rockets have the BAE and part of the MLE.

    Don't get me wrong, I would be happy with him on the Rockets. I just believe he could get more than $4,000,000 a year.

    Maybe sign his brother for the minimum and see if that will motivate Marcus to join.

    It wouldn't be ideal in the locker room as both are weirdos, but they are relatively harmless...... Paul and Harden and Tucker can always wear head phones on the plane.

    I know money is super important to him and he feels like he's been underpaid, I just don't see where the money will come from for him.

    There isn't a single team that jumps out to me, maybe he slips through the cracks and we get him. He is pretty solid, so it is one of those "someone will pay him" type feelings..... but I do know that a lot of teams really don't want to deal with his personality or questionable coachability.

    Capela to N.O. for one of their two first round picks and a re-signed Julius Randall. Sign Looney or Mcgee. Gives you a solid rebounder, shooter at PF, defense at Center and either a first for next year or a trade chip at the deadline.
