    Unless you are getting either of the Morris twins or JaMychal Green, I think you make the deal for Iggy.

    But my preference would be Green, keep our first and resign Shump.

    Ah crap. Rockets need a vet back up who can also switch on D.

    Signing Noel to the vet min would have given Rockets the flexibility to continue exploring trades.

    Damn, this is the #100 player we have “strong interest” in the last 2 years.

    lol he ain't coming here if he gets bought out. Morey needs to stop dreaming.

    He's going to LA to play with lebum and overrated Davis.

    Doesn’t matter who the Rockets are interested in.....

    It matters if Player X is interested in the Rockets.

    It’s sad when you believe Stephen A.

    Cool, a role player on the team decided to stay. Any stars or decent role players coming here though?

    You just said no one is interested and to show you a player that is interested.

    Probably can't do that. Would likely take the rest of the NT-MLE to get Green and then you'd be hardcapped. Unlikely you could keep Shump under a hard cap situation.

    We already have this guy to take a look at:




    Between him and Hartenstein we have some 'big young depth'. I'm really hoping for a JaMychal Green signing. I'd only be going for a McGee type if we were to move Capela for a big wing (convince Kelly Oubre to ask for a trade here? Oubre plus a first from Phx for Capela?)

    I'm hearing that if he receives a buyout from Memphis, he's going to sign with the Lakers. I'm telling you people, no one wants to come here.

    Yep. Wanted a guy who was more of a vicious finisher and more physical player than Deyonta.

    His game feels a little too finesse IMO.

    But hes all we have right now so hoping for the best.

    A player already on the team who's interested? Are you just being disingenuous or do you really think that's the same thing?

    Houston is interested in anyone willing to sign at a bargain. Which is why IGGY to Houston is less likely than him to LA unless he starts.

    Why haven't we reached out to Marcus Morris yet?He could play some small and power forward for us and most importantly is not going to be too expensive.

    Well...fine by me. As long as he doesn’t go to the Clippers or Lakers.

    I imagine they’ll wait for a trade deadline move, though. Pointless to keep him for the full season.
