Hopefully Morey finally brings him over this offseason. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/OOZNK5lJU8U" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/uRAtUYIFFVs" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
I would be shocked if he decided to join this team. He seems perfectly content to spend his career in Spain.
Clutchfans purists will say we should dig up any one of however many threads exist on this guy. Anyway, he'd be perfect for the Rockets, but Morey would have to make him a substantial offer (in part so he can pay off his buyout, which BimaThug had mentioned is actually less now after he signed his multiyear extension overseas). Any money spent on him is money not spent on two new max dudes....so would it happen? It'd be nice to have him, but let's not hold our collective breath.
Only if the LOFs stay over there. Spoiler As if Morey hasn't tried. You mean hopefully Llull finally decides to come over.
I believe the highest Morey went was 3 years / 24 million. Starting point guards go at 10-14 million per year.
If Morey strikes out on getting 2 max FAs, then I am sure he will try. I don't think the Rockets have given up on bringing Llull over. He would fit in well with the Rockets. You have to like that competitive fire.
He is scared, he would never come over. He is one of those regional guys that has no interest in going to another country.
The passion and desire is something we definitely could use, plus this guy will shoot confidently with any space.
This was my guess. Morey really only had less than the MLE to offer. Wouldn't have been worth it for the guy, especially with that gazillion dollar buyout.
