End of the bench guys Rox D Jackson B Weber Zhou Qi Bobby brown Troy Williams Nanu would you replace them with any of these guys Current free agents who could help this team Leandro Barbosa Deron Williams Noris Cole Jordan Crawford Randy Foye Monta Ellis Gerald Green jordan Mcrae Jordan Hill Gerald Henderson Kris Humphries David Lee Beno Udrih I'd personall take any of these guys over our end of bench guys
So you saying we would have 48 minutes of ryno when run goes to the bench. I'll take it he gonna. Be playing against scrubs
Yeah, i don't disagree with this, i like all these guys we have and you're right about the fact we go often out with a small ball 5, i just wonder if/how much we can trust Nene (due to injuries) and Black (due to lack of playoff experience) going forward, i would love to get Chandler if he gets a buyout by Phoenix even though i don't see that happen, but again, we're talking about little details, like i said i don't think we need to make moves, if going forward there's a good opportunity to make the roster even better i wouldn't pass it, let's say it this way.
There is a lot of talent on this list. The question is can said talent sit and not play without ripping the team apart. We need humbled souls looking to provide help when called on and behave till then. Chemistry is key. Coach keeps his rotation and our newest play will not be part of it => not all players can handle this role. The players spend a lot of time together so new player really needs to except the role or our chemistry will be altered.
Bingo. Definitely could have used a few veterans like Lee, Ellis, Williams at the end of the bench for situations like last night. As a win now team it’s hard to understand why guys like Weber, Jackson, Brown, Qi, and Williams are on this team instead of some older vets.
AA has been on the Rockets' radar for seasons...check the posting history. He was just about ours until a last minute swoop. I was so angry that I changed my sig to "Afflalo should be a Rocket." ...Probably during the time the board was on fire with DD's creation of the AB vs. Lowry debate. haha (Love ya, DD) Love you all of you this season. Be healthy. You're worth it.
I would like any one of Leandro Barbosa, Gerald Green, Gerald Henderson and try to pry Trey Lyles from Denver. Difficult because Denver is like the 5th seed and I’m sure they are pushing the Faried contract. Lyles contract is excellent. PER is great and per-36 min numbers are very good. I was pushing for a DeMarre Carroll a few weeks ago, but after watching him recently I’ve come to the conclusion that he is just too light. Troy Williams has some value to a team molding talent. I love Troy Williams potential . Just wasting away on the bench when the Rockets could trade his youth and athleticism. Mean while bring in a vet not working that can provide some experience and not mind sitting at the end of the bench. Green is still athletic. Henderson can still shoot and leap. Barbosa is very savvy with high basketball I Q. Qi is probably 2 years away from being playable. His value could be high for a team building. Rockets would be set for this year.
Or more positionless 3-D players who can also handle the ball: Barbosa Fredette (no D) Anthony Randolph Jamaal Franklin Raphaiel Putney Thanasis Antetokounmpo Putney and Randolph can be small ball centers.
If Rockets are going to trade for a player, would love Aaron Gordon. Has developed a consistent 3 ball and can defend all 5 positions. Work ethic, versatility, length, athleticism, IQ and hustle would make him a perfect fit on this team. Still young too, worth 2 first rounders to become the 3rd superstar on team IMO.
We could certainly use another big and another guard as fillins for injuries or specific playoff situations
Buyout market is more likely than trade. Do they need to make a move? Yes, they need injury insurance. They don't just need another player....more importantly, they need a "MDA rotation approved worthy player." Someone that MDA WILL trust. Something he doesnt seem to have with Williams/Weber etc.
Great to hear from you Cod. It seems to me that AA is done now. I feel that another swingman may help keep Harden and Ariza fresh in the playoffs. Luc is terrific, but his shoulder injury is a matter of concern.
D-rock my friend. Yes Aaron Gordon is top of every team’s list. Because of that it would take a Kings ransom imo. Here are the numbers from basketball-reference.com of 3 main characters mentioned among us: 17/18 stats R Anderson: PER 13.4 28.5 mins, 8.7 FGA, 45.3 FG%, 6.4 3PA, 40.2 (3P%), 5.4 TRB, 0.8 ast, 0.4 stl, 0.4 blk, 11.3 pts, 119 ORtg, 108 DRtg Per-36 mins: 14.2 pts, 6.8 TRB, 1.0 ast $19.6 mil/ $20.4 mil/ $21.5 mil Aaron Gordon: PER 19.9 33.3 mins, 13.1 FGA, 49.0 FG%, 5.5 3PA, 40.1 (3P%), 8.0 TRB, 2.2 ast, 1.0 stl, 0.8 blk, 18.3 pts, 116 ORtg, 108 DRtg Per-36 mins: 19.7 pts, 8.6 TRB, 2.4 ast $5.5 mil/ RFA $7.3 Qualifying Offer Trey Lyles: PER 19.0 15.5 mins, 5.3 FGA, 51.2 FG%, 2.2 3PA, 49.1 (3P%), 3.6 TRB, 0.8 ast, 0.4,stl, 0.4 blk, 7.6 pts, 123 ORtg, 109 DRtg Per-36 mins: 17.7 pts, 8.4 TRB, 1.9 ast $2.44 mil/ $3.5 mil/ RFA $4.63 Qualifying Offer........this is a production to dollar prime Morey-contract. Have you heard any rumors of A Gordon wanting out or Orlando possibly moving him? Not that I have heard any on Trey Lyles.
