It's supposed to go through, but nothing inked yet, Johnson isn't happy about it.

It's pretty much a done deal,Moore and JJJ aren't playing today in the summer league and Doc was interviewd during the game saying it would be great if they could add someone of Lee's caliber, but can't make any official comments on it yet...

How could it be in trouble?

[indeedproceed]

Rockets already waived a better player than JJJ in Leuer. It is l

Don't expect JaJuan Johnson to play a game for the #rockets, according to a source he will request a trade

Now you can see why these things are so complicated

In what world does JaJaun Johnson thinks he lives in?

lol, right. should feel grateful he's on a roster. must suck being 8th on the depth chart for your position.

Something about non-guaranteed contracts.

Courtney Lee signed and traded for JJJ, Moore, Sean Williams, and the Charlotte 2013 2nd rounder OKC owes the Celtics.

A clause in Moore's contract stipulates that it becomes fully guaranteed by 11:59 of the day of the team's last summer league game. That language has called into question whether the trade triggers the contract to become fully guaranteed, since Houston has already ended summer league play.

Sounds like the deal will go through, so the "deal in trouble?" sign can hopefully come down.

There was a question if ETs contract was guaranteed or not since the Rockets are done with SL.  Their plan is to waive ET, so if its guaranteed there might be an issue.  Now there is some static about JJJ going Dwight H. on the Rockets and demanding a trade.  I am still holding my breathe and hoping this goes through.

Something's up with the Moore part of the trade

Or so I heard

Doc was just on NBA TV and said " Hopefully we got ourself another Guard besides Jason Terry, according to those reports" The trade isn't in trouble any more.

It appears Bulpett saw Moore and Williams show up to the game in uniform and thought it was being held up.

In a world where Houston have 4-5 power forwards ... and if he goes there, he'll be glued to the bench and waste away valuable years of his career.

JJJ should absolutely make a trade demand and get the hell out of there.

Or - crazy thought - he could actually earn his playing time but showing the Houston coaching staff he's better than the other forwards.

It is highly unlikely they'd play him over their own 1st Round picks.

Once he's traded, he's a Rockets player. Just because he was drafted by a different team, doesn't make him a red-headed step-child. If he proves that he's better in training camp and practice than those other guys, he'll get playing time.

This whole demanding trades thing is sickening when its superstars doing it, I don't see how a 2nd year forward who has proven NOTHING makes it more respectable.
