    Not much writing on him... but still nice to look at.. Very fitting that our best rookie(thus farr) can't be a part of any trade til January... Let's you know your watching someone that will definitely be sporting a Rox jersey this year...

    Whenever he scores over 30 points in a game this year at TC, everyone should get free donuts!

    Btw, I think Orlando's going to be asking Morey for this guy for any D12 trade.

    You're thinking of free agent signings but in the case of Donuts, he has just signed his rookie contract. Rookie contracts can be traded after 30 days.

    That guy, Dionte Christmas, that is currently sitting at #8 above Bradley Beal... wasn't he originally on our summer league roster?

    I agree. I think they will ask for him as well. If I was Morey, and they ask for Donuts, I laugh and hang up the phone. He has the attitude to be something special. He has that Alpha male on the court attitude to be an absolute badass.

    Yes, he originally was going to play Summer League for us. Not sure what happened, but he wound up with the Celtics.

    Man no way, i saw an article that Rockets would include Parsons, Lamb, White, Jones, Martin, DMo and picks for one year rent of Star and his friends. NO WAY, I want talent, TALENT not crying drama actor...oh he is a super star but i choose TALENT. Morey dont care about it, he just want to rent D12 and trade all the future. If this trade will happen - Magic, not Rockets anymore cuz all of the talent will be in Magic jersey. Morey is putting too much for Dwight... too much. I remember one thread - LET THE KIDS PLAY.

    If given time to develop I think D-Mo has a chance at getting ROY.

    If your referencing the ESPN/Hoopsworld articles, it was absolute fabrication. It has been made well known since then that was not the offer.

    With Donuts in town Houston can move to the top 5 or maybe even top 3. Top ten? Pssh mediocrity will not be allowed! Maybe we can win the lottery for fattest cities?

    i have never been this excited for a Rockets Rookie. i would say Yao, but i was like 5, and don't remember it all that much lol.
    anyway, i really believe D-Mo can challenge anybody for ROY. it'll be interesting to see.
