Morey is giving himself the opportunity to be flexible.

He is, but he's not afraid to try and use them to land a star (see the Harden trade), something he's become oddly fixated on lately. Of course the key thing with him is he likes to look like the clear winner in every trade, so unlike us, he ain't going to go wild with offerings. In fact I'm doubtful he even offers the Pelican pick (if that was up for grabs, wouldn't he have offered it to the Celtics for Rondo- it's guaranteed to be higher than the Mavs pick so they would have been fools not to accept it).

You look at the Rockets players and picks and its confusing how he managed to fail to outdo the Mavs in regards to the Rondo trade, unless he didn't really want him in the first place.

Don't see rondo on that team. Rondo and Dwight not a good idea. Rondo was on the market for 3 years. Ainge asked a lot in return. Basically he got a role/jouneyman and a late 1st for him. Better than nothing and he might help Dallas this season. Tyson him are free agents. No telling the future. But that makes it fun!
