    Yep. 100%. Just wanted to point out that Morey isn't made of gold and actually fucked Houston's roster up pretty badly this year.

    True. However, he quickly recognized his errors and made changes to fix them...
    While in Portland, we just have to wait 4 years before the errors are corrected.

    ...all that damage and the Rockets are only 1/2 game behind the Blazers.

    Another way to look at is with all the damage Olshey has done, the Blazers are still 1/2 game ahead of the Rockets.

    Well, if you compare the quality of their team this year as opposed to last season, there is a pretty gigantic difference. They aren't going to be challenging Golden State in the WCF.

    I would submit that when Paul and Capela come back, they will be the 2nd best team in the West....again.

    Rockets have also been facing injury issues. Like, let's not ignore that CP3 has been out for half the year.

    This post should be mandatory reading for everyone who thinks Olshey is as good as it gets for a GM.

    I'm getting agitated! Need to show restraint.... But not tonight, whether it be joy or despondence...

    I guess we can pick one of Stauskas or Baldwin back up now, since we have a roster spot and the Pacers are going to waive them.

    If we are on the buyout market, I'd like to see them waive Swanigan to create another roster spot. He's a waste of space.

    that's one of those things you only do after you've lined someone up to fill that spot. No need to do it now.

    If you suggest a trade like you did, that means you think it is plausible. Sure, we could massively overpay, but that's not in the realm of plausibility.

    People said it because our assets would be a massive reach, so no... we don't realistically have the assets to create a win win trade on both sides, which would be reasonable expiring contracts and second rounders. If we gave them what they wanted, we would be shooting ourselves in the foot.

    At least, that's how I interpret it. Technically we could trade Dame for almost anything, so I guess all reasons are bullshit if ya wanna pick nits.

    Neil will give him 70/4 after his Rookie Contract.
