:lol no Dragic
:lol no Lowry

[baseline bum]

Only the Rockets would be stupid enough to decide to tank in a year with an awful draft instead of doing it last year when there was some real talent even if they didn't land #1. This year it's Shabazz Muhammed or bust. :lol

[baseline bum]

I think there should be a rule that you can't host an Allstar game if your team doesn't have 10 wins by the break.

[pass1st]

So is it officially Lamb's team now?

Nothing better than tanking while paying a guy $8 million a year for his 3.3 PPG. :lol

Rockets are telling people theyre guaranteed future Lottery pick from Toronto in Lowry deal (ESPN first), tho it's unclear how that happens.

:lol tanking shamelessly

[DPG21920]

The best thing that could happen to the Rockets is that the Bulls match. Because Asik's first two years are lower, there might be a chance.

[djohn2oo8]

:lol at Lowry traded before Martin AND Scola. "Assets" :lmao

[baseline bum]

Well...guess all of them weren't misses.

:lol foul ball straight up in the air, caught by the catcher

Nah man, that was more like a hit by pitch.

[timtonymanu]

Woj just reported Houston gets Gary Forbes in the trade.

[djohn2oo8]

:lmao at STILL chasing Dwight


Jonathan Feigen ‏@Jonathan_Feigen
That and anything else they want. RT @accfanto (http://twitter.com/#!/accfanto): @Jonathan_Feigen (http://twitter.com/#!/Jonathan_Feigen) So is the TOR pick now officials part of the Dwight package?

[smaka]

Since Rockets seems to trade away all they players (except for PF), will their lineup for this year be:

PF
PF
PF
PF
Asik :lol

[djohn2oo8]

@JeromeSolomon
@AstroRocket Find a sword and I'll jump on it. This deal, if the league approves, is even better for the Rockets than you imagined. Wow

Chicago matching Asik would be better.

:lmao Rockets and Mavs going after Dino boy

[timtonymanu]

rofl might as well see what Rafer Alston is doing these days.

[noob cake]

Might as well dump Scola and Martin now, then we can roll

White
Lamb/Lee
Parsons/Budinger
Jones
Donatas

[DPG21920]

Dwight to Lowry to Goran to Lin to Dino Boy. It's like de-evolution :lol

Bud is gone.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

:lol if they sign Aaron Brooks
:lol face raping the Suns in a trade then letting the trade reverse through free agency

[DPG21920]

Right before the draft Rocket fan was going H.A.M. (How Awesome is Morey!), now they just going HAM.

[timtonymanu]

:lol if they sign Aaron Brooks
:lol face raping the Suns in a trade then letting the trade reverse through free agency

:lol

[noob cake]

Bud is gone.

Forgot we traded his ass for Terrence Jones.

[Mel_13]

Bud is gone.And Lee's a free agent.

[Kai]

And Lee's a free agent.

And Royce White isn't a PG.

[DPG21920]

Mel_13 with the pile on just to be accurate reminder goods :lol

[Josepatches_]

Lowry is nothing special
Not a bad deal tbh.

[djohn2oo8]

:lmao at all the dumbasses at clutchfans who think they should have gotten more for Lowry the "all star" PG CROFLMAO

[Kai]

Pretty decent deal (if we still had Dragic :lol)

@hornets247

Was told by my Rockets guy that main motivation for Rockets in Lowry trade was to make pick part of Dwight Howard trade offer. They r going
Retweeted by Orlando Magic Daily

[Kai]

I'd very much like to believe that Morey has a plan here. Trading Lowry after missing out on Dragic just doesn't make enough sense for him to not have something else brewing. I hope it's not to pair an expiring Dwight Howard next to a bunch of D-Leaguers with no future picks :lol

[noob cake]

Dwight is a soulless brute. He will bail on us after Morey trades the world for him. We'll be offering Orlando a package fitting only for LeBron James.

I look forward to D-League scrub lineup after Dwight bails. At least we might win the 2014/2015 lotto.

OK, if they're dumping everyone to take on Hedo, that would actually make sense then. I'm not sure it's a good plan, but at least it's a plan.
