    He just got traded to the Wolves for Butler. What is the time frame to acquire him in a trade? Why would Minnesota want to trade him to a big WC rival like Houston?

    I mean, he's getting 22 minutes a night, and is playing much better than he was in Philly this year. BUt do I think he can be even better... yes.

    Ben means Melo would have to go. House is no longer part of the 15-man roster.

    No trade?

    Signing Clark means trade?

    I said it wrong. I was referencing the roster spot temporarily gained by originally waiving House, but the tweet sounded like I was stating that they cleared a roster spot for trade purposes by signing him to the two-way (there's no trade correlation since it was used for Clark). Poor phrasing on my part, my bad.

    The Rockets have 15 guaranteed contracts with the Clark signing. I wonder if they have a small trade that's lined up. On the other hand, it's possible that no change may occur for now.

    Because they want a player right now who can contribute and be potentially
    flipped by the February 7th deadline.

    And once again, all you it’s happening types can go back to doing whatever it is you do....

    This team is just going to have to sort it’s sh*t out the old fashioned way.

    Well House has cleared waivers and been signed to a 2way contract. Will be in uniform tonight vs Utah.

    C'mon guys - read between the lines.

    The talk of 'Rockets seek trade' was clearly a cover up so nobody would claim House off waivers. The art of misdirection - "what trade are the Rockets looking for??" But the move was actually to sign Clark to a 3 year contract and bring back House on a 2 way in time for the Jazz game.

    Ok, so Morey is always investigating the best trade option, but it wasn't like we waived House to free a roster spot to make a trade.

    We need a healthy knight/NeNe and Starting SF.

    Let the picks go!

    Health has been an issue for current and acquired players. If we can just get and stay stay healthy and add a starting wing!!

    Is Hayward playing any good ball! He’d be perfect for this team. Need some cream back in this coffee anyways!! I like his hair too.

    I was thinking that today. “We need a healthy Knight/NeNe! And then we’ll have a bench!”
    Then I thought about how sad it is that we NEED a healthy Brandon Knight and NeNe.
