OT: Thoughts on the Houston Rockets? 

Post#2 » by rdogg1026 » Wed Jun 27, 2012 7:35 pm

They're having a little fire sale for what seems to be Dwight Howard. They've just acquired the 12th overall pick in exchange for their 14th and Dalembert.

Dwight says he won't even stay in Houston and he's coming off major back surgery.

Do you think it's worth what they're doing?

We need our own Official Houston Rockets Watch Thread

At least the man isn't standing pat. He's coming at teams with High Grade ammo this year... :lol:

I'm thinking Shaun Livingston is going to the Rockets and not two Brockman's. But Morey loves making trades this guy is like a insane man when it comes to making trades.

I think its smart to gather picks for players that aren't necessities to them.

They have 3 picks this year & likely no picks next year (Nets have their pick) , they're looking for a star/#1 guy type of player & that's how you acquire one .. with picks.
My lifetime better have a Knicks championship.

Wow....really does seem like they've got something major planned. Howard and Deron possibly.

Or maybe just Gasol. :lol:

That's too much shaking and baking for just Gasol. But as long as they are making moves we need to try and push Toney Douglas on them and describe him as a young version of Kyle Lowry who just needs some guidance.

Let's see the result of all of this movement. Morey wheels and deals, but can't seem to get any traction. It's fun to watch, but his genius has turned Houston into a lottery team.

Trading Dalembert and Chase Budinger for draft picks should not be considered a fire sale.

They could just trade Lowry and Scola and get Gasol if they wanted him. There is a chance they still end up with Gasol but it's likely that the moves they are making have nothing to do with him.
