    Interesting comments:
    - They like one or two players that if a deal makes sense they would do it.
    - He likes the pg rotation of Douglas, Livingston and Machado as back-ups. They would like to bring in Machado for training camp to battle it out with others
    - He feels comfortable with every move they've made, they are getting closer to becoming a contender
    - Might add one more free agent

    Who do y'all think the 2 free agents we're looking at could be?

    - Morey thinks you can find value in free agency in guys who hasn't (had the chance) to play much.
    - Thinks Asik is a 10+ rebound guy.
    - Said Asik is probably the best paint protector, short of one or two players in the league.
    - Thinks they'll surprise in terms of how many games they'll win.
    - Comfortable with this group of players. Might add one free agent.
    - One or two free agents out there that the Rockets think would make sense adding, if they can get them for the right "structure".
    - Thinks bigs who're playing limited minutes are a little bit easier to project than players at other positions.
    - Comfortable with Livingston, Douglas, Machado, who they'd "like to bring in" at backup PG.

    I'm not so sold on the fact he is tanking. Can't wait for this Dwight crap to stop.

    So Morey thinks we are close to being a contender.

    Wow.

    Unless we somehow get Dwight or Bynum, I think he is seriously delusional.

    He was talking about free agents when mentioning the 1 or 2 guys.

    Is this going to be the veteran presence we need in the locker room? Gotta be a glue guy - not sure if any of those are left in FA.

    That little "r" at the end of "closer" reeeeaally makes a difference.

    1 or 2 guys you make a deal for could be absolutely anybody in the NBA. 1 or 2 of the available free agents is much more underwhelming. Hardly nitpicking.
