If he was the best post scorer in the NBA, his team would have made in the playoffs in the last three years. Last year he was 15-7 with bad efficiency and defense.

Morey has lost it.
Dude, you have no idea what the protection on the Raptors pick is:
Next year, if the pick is 4-14, Rockets get it otherwise Raptors keep it.
2013 and 2014, if the pick is 3-14, Rockets get it otherwise Raptors keep it.
2015 and 2016, if the pick is 2-14, Rockets get it otherwise Raptors keep it.
It's structured so that the only way the Rockets get it is if it IS a lotto pick, with a bit of top of the draft protection for the Raptors.

wow. That's a good deal for ORL if they dump all those contracts on Houston.
1. Lin, Brooks, Flynn, Dragic, and Lowry have all rolled through HOU. The last thing I am worried about is finding a PG.
2. I was inferring some of them will be part of the trade
3. That pick will be the thing NJ couldn't offer. A lottery guaranteed 1st
4. Scola is 32 and has 3 years and $21m left on his deal. He is untradeable. Scola is a great complimentary piece on a team that already has a star. But he has no value to a team that can't make the playoffs
You guys complain about the GMs giving out dumb deals and not learning anything. Morey is the guy who does everything you guys say GMs should do. He doesn't do deals that tie up his ability to make moves and shape his roster. Of course if he takes back all of ORL's bad deals then that is out the window.

Only Richardson has a guarantee beyond this year.

So tell me what the fuck the point of that trade be for Dwight if he's just bringing half the ORL team with him to HOU?
I'm upset about Big Fish, I want Astoria to have someone to cheer for! Is Big Papa the nickname of this year's Greek draft pick?
Lakers need to snatch him up ASAP.
Is that hwo it works? Does he just become a UFA and can go anywhere he pleases? Or does he have to go through a waiver process where the bottom feeders get first dibs?

Keep it consistent?
We're not under the cap so we can't bid. He's not going to become a free agent.

Hope that Dwight grows to hate Houston less than Atlanta, Dallas, and Portland and then get pieces for him later like Josh Smith.

Teams under the cap get to bid first. Teams over the cap won't have a chance basically.

Does this mean Toney Douglas gets to play with Dwight? What happens next?

And Morey must be really confident a deal for Dwight is about to get done. I hope it gets done soon.

Man, Housto gonna become Orlando West. It will be so hilarious if Dwight leaves and that franchise is fucked for like 5 years.
Morey with the obvious SAVE MY JOB move here. We'll have to see if it actually pans out.
Can't really blame them, but still feel like they might have had more leverage to get a couple of the contracts, not all of them.

My mistake. I got my trades confused. I thought he was flipped for a pick but it was Camby

Worst case scenario the Rockets trade him at the deadline anyway. It's a really smart move on Morey's part considering how little it'll take to get Dwight now, he'll probably get more assets in a few months then hes giving up now.

Harden for the max would be one of the five best contracts of this Summer if it was able to happen.

Martin is an expiring contract. He is somewhat tradeable. Or they can keep him and let him off the books themselves for next offseason.
the question should not be how it should be why

He's still good to me dammit!
Martin is expiring and would go to ORL
Better wash that filthy fucking mouth of yours reilo. Or I will.
We don't want that flopping, puss ass on our team.
Come on, what kind of offer can they make? Don't act like the Howard deal is done. This very offseason, Morey already acted in three very different directions. They're PANICKING. People are saying Morey is acting ultra smart, but he had just offered a contract to Lin that would have not worked with the current best scenario setup. He's failing to transform his assets in value. Dragic, Lowry, Scola, and all he can do is turn it into capspace and a pick? Capspace that he would have started spending with Lin, a player they had cut...

If they lose Brand they're going to bid on Scola.
Running Houston's numbers based on Woj saying they have another max.
Dwight, Duhon, Turk, and JRich = $36 mil in cap hold roughly no matter what (yes, even with unguaranteed since it's partial). Add in 8 min roster holds you're at $40 million. That leaves you at $18 mil.
If Asik is not matched, that brings them down below a max contract. Or if they give almost anyone else a contract of any kind. I'm assuming Lin is matched, of course.
They'd have to have a mediocre team this year to keep a max spot open, most likely. Basically do what NJ did with Deron. Waste a season to get better.
No, they won't have the ability to sign 2. Just 1 and the MLE possibly.
We always have room in the Wizards club...
but then, I don't know if I have room on my rocketship if Wall officially becomes a bust.

Why are summer league games allowed to go into OT? This Magic game is already in its 2nd OT and its 2 too many.

You know the world is a big fucking place, nationalistic fanatics tend to be made fun of outside of Texas. So is Tom Cruise, but that's obvious.
