KJ is pretty awesome but very underwhelming haul for Morey.


No reserve big??

While I'm glad the New Orleans pick wasn't dealt, this was pretty disappointing

i cant see anywhere that confirms how many picks but if we gave up THREE 2ND ROUNDERS, and not get a center in return, then we didnt do well. borderline success. even 2 2nds and canaan is too much for just priggs

Maybe morey wants to keep the books clear for the durant chase next summer. Rockets always prioritize flexibility

We final have another Argentinian! or is it Argentine?

I'm happy with the two new guys... Pablo looks to be a good shooter gets alot of steals too & KJ already has the Rockets defensive mentality down.

Pablo is done but KJ is a good mid level prospect. This was a good haul considering how trigger happy some GMs were.

Okay with this somewhat.

Dragic wanted to be the man so he did not want to come to Houston so it's not like the Rockets were going give up much for him.

Wanted Lawson but Nuggets not really shopping him

Reggie is overrated and a bad contract waiting to happen

Kinda made they did not go after Knight since he was dealt for very little it seems.

Pissed that we did not get another big.

I wanted the Rockets to draft KJ so excited about that and Pablo can shoot

KJ seems to have that bulldog mentality that fans will love, if he can develop a 3 point shot he'll earn a nice contract

As a Sixer fan, I just want to say that you guys are gonna love KJ assuming he gets significant playing time on your team. He's a nightly threat to be on ESPN's top ten plays with his spectacular dunks and monster blocks although he will frustrate you a lot with his poor outside shooting and shaky handle. Good luck to KJ and your fans.

Priggy smalls is the man. I'm seriously glad he is on a proper team now. He is old but he is a great guy to have.

You guys will love Pablo if he gets time, very crafty player, and moves the ball almost to a fault at times, but still an excellent 3 point shooter when he finally does decide to shoot.

I'll miss him but glad to see him go to a title contender.

I'm really pleased that Morey didn't make any big moves. All year, I've been watching the Rockets and thinking "this team just needs time to build chemistry". That's been the only missing piece. Time. And by not blowing everything up (again), Morey has given them exactly that.

(Yes, 3 2nd round picks are a lot. No argument here. But if it means not watching Jason Terry attempt to play defense, I'm all for it. You can actually hear his knees disintegrating, if you turn the TV volume up.)

I AM a little disappointed we didn't get Chukwudiebere Maduabum. I was really looking forward to hearing Calvin try and pronounce his name.

Oh well. Maybe next year.

Loving these adds

Kj is a boss and prigs is a very underrated add (watch the knicks a lot)

Sucks the thunder and mavs have made better adds this week

i'm sad to see KJ leave. I think ultimately Hinkie was getting really nervous about his contract situation.

He's a great defender, spectacular dunker , but his overall offense sucks. Zero handles, poor shooter.
