    Trade Capela for a pick, sign Looney and JaMychal Green.

    The Rockets just missed out on a cheap but great value DeMarre Carroll. He would have been great fit with the Rockets. I seriously don't like this Morey strategy waiting on marquee free agent only to miss out on crucial role players

    We don’t have cap space. Signing Carroll for $6 mil like the Spurs did would have cost us House

    Robin Lopez would look great in a Rockets uni.

    Oh ok. Thank you for this. Makes sense if it's btn Carroll & House, I would have picked the latter.

    But we got House, Danuel at 3M is better than Carroll at 6M.

    Rockets signing him could be the trigger for Butler to agree.

    MDA barely even played House in the playoffs. If he can’t be used then what good is he?

    This is basically my gripe with him as well. He’s confident he can build the team on the fly with left over scraps but it gets old. He gets held hostage by whatever star he’s chasing year after year. Hopefully it works out this summer and we get Butler but I’m not holding breath.

    I think this is an Iguodala situation. Looney probably wants to stay with the Warriors buts wants more money so he's using the rockets as leverage. This works for the rockets too. If he comes to Houston, good, he can help us. If he doesn't come we raised his cost which only hurts the Warriors.

    House just wasn't good in the playoffs, but he was a rookie, he should do better next time.

    Dude will probably end up with the Warriors, he was going to sign with them few months ago if the Bulls were going to give him a buyout.
