    Probably not...our cheap owner ( who said he will do whatever it takes to win a championship) will have Morey sign some third string bench sitter from the Euro League to keep us below the luxury tax level!

    again w/ the schizo, and in the following post after this as well which appears to be directed at some imaginary friend/poster idk

    again, i don't know what MM's complete thought process was in choosing okc. i don't know his preferences and likes. i do know that we were not offering more than the vet min and we weren't offering that until feb 22nd at the earliest. these are cold hard facts b/c after the season-long work morey has done getting us under the tax there is no way we're going over now for a guy like MM. if you choose to ignore these factors that's fine. what is a pain is when you b**** and complain when other posters here do take them into consideration.

    Still waiting on the 21st or 1st to see what Morey can pick up from the buyout list. Still hoping for the best for the team. H-TOWN Crazy!! Go Rockets!!

    Whether you beleive that Tillman is cheap or we're just trying to plan for the future, the net result is a cluster fvck. Incredibly inept offseason at the worst possible time resulting in the waste of a yet another Houston future hall of famer's season (career?). Blows.

    Am I the only one happy we didn’t get him?

    His rebounding and defense blow chunks at this point. That’s all we are looking for.

    He could have provided outside shooting too and if necessary play the 4 while playing PJ at the 3.

    This is true. There's really no reason to be upset as of now. Rockets still need someone to take up a good chunk of PJs minutes. Hes not going to have any legs by the end of the season.

    I usually go by the thought process of if we aren’t giving anyone up it can’t hurt.
    Having said that Melo has made me reconsider that notion.

    I didn't realise the Rockets brass put out a vote to Clutchfans before offering a trade to Minnesota. Can you link me to where they said 'should we trade Tucker for Butler or nah?' Thanks

    Gortat has lost all of his athleticism. He wasn't a good defender even at his best. He is no longer the Polish Hammer. Unfortunately, he is useless now.

    I think Morey is waiting to see how these teams come outta of the gate Magic, Wizards, and Hawks.

    Hawks: Bazemore PO 19/20
    Wizards: Ariza
    Magic: Vucevic FA *Maybe wants to be in a winning situation

    I’m fishing here
