Re: Rockets' deal takes twist
"Some of you are dumb as a box of rocks. You just got Martin, Jeffries, picks from the knicks, Hill a top 10 pick, and partridge in a pear tree for a sixth man and a broken down has been. You guys are MORONS! I love Landry but you have to see this is the best we could have ever gotten. PERIOD! Thanks Morey." — acbasurto
