Interesting comments: - They like one or two players that if a deal makes sense they would do it. - He likes the pg rotation of Douglas, Livingston and Machado as back-ups. They would like to bring in Machado for training camp to battle it out with others - He feels comfortable with every move they've made, they are getting closer to becoming a contender - Might add one more free agent
- Morey thinks you can find value in free agency in guys who hasn't (had the chance) to play much. - Thinks Asik is a 10+ rebound guy. - Said Asik is probably the best paint protector, short of one or two players in the league. - Thinks they'll surprise in terms of how many games they'll win. - Comfortable with this group of players. Might add one free agent. - One or two free agents out there that the Rockets think would make sense adding, if they can get them for the right "structure". - Thinks bigs who're playing limited minutes are a little bit easier to project than players at other positions. - Comfortable with Livingston, Douglas, Machado, who they'd "like to bring in" at backup PG.
So Morey thinks we are close to being a contender. Wow. Unless we somehow get Dwight or Bynum, I think he is seriously delusional.
Is this going to be the veteran presence we need in the locker room? Gotta be a glue guy - not sure if any of those are left in FA.
1 or 2 guys you make a deal for could be absolutely anybody in the NBA. 1 or 2 of the available free agents is much more underwhelming. Hardly nitpicking.
